5 on Friday

Here are 5 reasons I'm loving my silly girls this week:

1.  This week we re-joined the YMCA so we could start one of our favorite summer activities: spending hours at the Baxter YMCA Waterpark.  I wish everyone could have seen how happy and excited they were when they got in the water.  Especially our little fish, Campbell!

2.  The girls are so excited about life right now: the pool, our upcoming trip to Texas, summer getting ready to start, etc that they are having a hard time falling asleep at night.  One night I went to check on them before I went to bed and was surprised to find them in each others' beds!  With each others' sleeping bags (yes, they both sleep in sleeping bags these days).  Another night I went in there to find this on the bedpost:

 One morning Maggie was so sleepy from staying up late that she kept saying "My eyes don't work!" which was because she hadn't opened them yet... I keep telling myself that they are making memories...

3. We had our first picnic by the pool one evening this week.  This summer will be full of picnic lunches and dinners by the pool at the waterpark.  We learned last year that having a picnic dinner there occasionally is extra special since Daddy can join us after he gets off work.

 

By the way- I love the Ziploc 3-compartment containers for these picnics (and for the kids' school lunches!).  They are cheap, they don't leak, the compartments are sealed seperately, and they have survived 2 years of dishwasher action!

4.  Every morning when I'm taking the girls to school, Campbell loves to call her Daddy.  Since the recent iPhone update, she has been FaceTiming with him and it's even better.  It's so sweet to hear their little conversations.

5.  Maggie has learned a new pose.  She calls it her silly face and many times this week, she has been eager to show us her silly face.  She says she learned it at her school...

Even Campbell is getting in on some silly face action...
