3 Days of Stay-In Fun!!

What a week we have had so far! Poor Lilly is on the mend. Thankfully while she had to feel plain rotten, she was still talking and laughing and playing a lot too! I ended up taking quite a few pictures of us doing our fun "stay-at-home" activities. Here is what we have been up to these past 3 days. :)

Lexi loves to pull out all her toys and sit in her buckets and baskets.

Lilly adores her Daddy!! And looks too grown up in this picture for my liking!!
Sneezy now loves to play "boo!" with the girls under their bed...
Lilly showing off her pigtails. I am trying to play with their hair a little bit every day, since it hangs down in their eyes now and they won't leave clips or bows in...I have to get Eric to help me distract them while I slip a bow into their hair. Pigtails are much more difficult to do without them noticing. :)
"Mommy! I know there is something in my hair!" - Lilly
Lilly just being cute! She actually posed for me in this one...
Thankfully Lexi was too busy looking at a book to notice her hair. It stayed up for a miraculous 3 minutes.
Smile with Mommy, Lexi! No, really...smile, please!! Silly girl smiles all day long and then stares at a camera.
Now the next series of pictures tells a funny story! The girls LOVE for you to put shoes on them. They will go get their shoes and bring them to us...usually 2 right feet and 2 different shoes. I especially love it when they want to wear one pink croc and 1 silver dress shoe. :)

Lexi does not understand why we won't put 3 and 4 shoes on her at once. She has started getting very upset when we won't put more than 2 on her feet, and she falls apart. Here she is when I explained that she already had 2 shoes on, as she tried to hand me a third...

Then she COMPLETELY fell apart...now granted, it was almost naptime too! That just made it worse. :) See how she is still holding shoe #3 while wearing 2!

So, I tried to show her how the third shoe could go on the toe of another, but how it didn't really work too well! She was still mad at me and pulled it right off!

The only thing that worked was removing shoe #2 and replacing it with shoe #3! Then she had to examine them carefully! (I have no idea why my text is now sometimes looking this way...I can't fix it today, but will try and figure out why it does this soon!)


Then since Lilly has a sore throat and hasn't been drinking as much as she should, we got them Pedialyte popsicles. We put them in swim diapers and went outside yesterday to have fun and eat popsicles. They loved them! Lexi learned that she likes crunching on them with her 6 teeth!
