1. This doesn't have a whole lot to do with the girls exactly, but my last day of school was Thursday. I am so excited for this summer and all the time I'll have to be with the girls! We have so much planned: swimming lessons, a beach trip, cheerleading camp (for the big girl), the pool, and much more! Yippee!
2. We started our visits to the pool this past weekend! The girls loved the water and we had a blast! Campbell is becoming an excellent swimmer and Maggie is so much more independent in the Splash park at the Baxter YMCA.
3. I have been making mental notes (and pins on Pinterest) of activities to do with the girls this summer. This morning, I got out a cheap can of shaving cream, filled up our old water table, and let the girls have fun! Next time I'll add food coloring and let them "paint".
4. My girls love accessories. Headbands, sunglasses, bows, etc. Here are a few of my favorite recent pictures that show their fashion!
5. Every night I rock each girl and sing to them. It's become such a special time for us. I started off just singing the first verse of "You are my sunshine" and as time has gone on, the song has evolved. Now, each girl gets the traditional "You are my sunshine, you make me happy when skies are grey...", then they get "You are my Maggie/Campbell, you make me happy when you smile..." Campbell has gotten so creative (and demanding!) that hers is about 5 or 6 verses long and contains versions such as "You are my dancer/princess/other random thing, you make me happy when you do ballet/wear your crown/etc...".

Patrick sings you are my sunshine to Anna almost every night and now he has a version about you are my princess! Too funny!
