1. Some friends recently gave us two free tickets to Carowinds. Robbie has been wanting to take Campbell all summer so he was very excited. Luckily, Maggie had school on Labor Day but Campbell was off. I needed to run 7 miles that morning as part of my half-marathon training so it was the perfect day for their adventure. Despite a pretty strict "cast policy", they had a blast!
2. The girls have gotten very involved in playing with their American Girl dolls every since our trip to the AG store this summer. While this sometimes includes crying because "Elizabeth" missed an imaginary dance lesson or having to change "Ruthie" into her pajamas at night and back into her dress for the day, it is really fun to watch and participate in. Last night when I went to tuck the girls in before I went to bed, I found Maggie and her mini-me in identical poses.
3. One of the girls' favorite toys is their Disney hair care set. They love to fix our hair, each others' hair, and their dolls' hair. I enjoyed it until Campbell told me the other night that I needed a "fix over" aka a makeover...kinda hurt my feelings ;).
4. I recently ran across a picture of Campbell's first day of preschool in August 2012 (4 year old preschool). She was wearing the same outfit I dressed Maggie in for her first day of preschool this year! I couldn't believe it. I had forgotten about it (I knew the outfit was similar but I thought it was a different color). It's interesting to me for a few reasons: 1. Campbell was 4 and Maggie was 3 when they wore it, 2. the outfit it from Wal-Mart but I thought it was cute enough for first day pictures...but I think that has a lot to do with the fact that the skirt has to be ironed so it's not worn that often, and 3. that they both looked so darn cute in it! Here is a comparison (the colors look different due to the camera setting but it definitely is the same outfit):
5. We have been trying to teach the girls about "privacy", especially in regards to the bathroom. They have both recently been asking for privacy in the bathroom and I think it's hilarious!
