1) Evidence that Campbell's growing up - Campbell lost a second tooth last week. She's not quite brave enough to pull them out herself, however, she's found the secret to evicting the tooth that doesn't involve her having to pull it out. She brushes her teeth. The first tooth came out by accident when she was brushing her teeth at night. So for this second tooth, she did it again, but this time on purpose.
2) Princess in training - as a reward for stopping biting her nails, Martha took Campbell (and Maggie) for a pedicure. This was Campbell's 2nd one and Maggie's 1st. The technician even drew a flower on one of each of the girls' nails.
3) Country Girls - My in-laws have a stream (if that's what you call it) that runs through their back yard. They've lived at their house for longer than Campbell's been around. Anyway, for the first time ever, I took the girls down in the stream for an impromptu trip. They loved it! I think there are going to be many more trips down there as the summer draws close.
4) Watermelon on my head - We went to a birthday party on Satuday for our friends the Hedgepeths'. They have a set of triplets that just turned four. Anyway, about 3 minutes from arriving at their party, Maggie decided it was time to take an afternoon nap. For the first 30 minutes of the party, Maggie and I enjoyed it from the comfort of our van.
The party was a blast! They even served the girls' favorite food . . . anything fruit (which included watermelon). On the way home, Campbell was telling us a story that supposedly her music teacher told her that involved the music teacher putting his head in a watermelon. Campbell stated, "I want to put my head in a watermelon." So we stopped, and I picked up a seedless watermelon for the girls. That night, they enjoyed it . . . . literally.
5) Maggie's Friends - It's been so much fun watching Maggie make friends this year. She's always been a very sociable child and made friends easily. Her newest friend is Georgia. Everytime we mention the State of Georgia, it's followed by "Hey, I have a friend named Georgia." Anyway, today Maggie's preschool, which is a laboratory school attached to Winthrop University, had special outing at the Winthrop baseball game. All the kids got to run out onto the field with the Winthrop players (which I have no pictures of even though I took over a 100 pictures - but forgot to put in the memory card). They kids also all sat together at the game. Here's a view from our seats and Maggie with her BFF Georgia.
Just to warn you, we'll be taking a week off from the blog. The girls do not know this yet, but we're heading to Disney Friday after school for a surprise trip. Wish us safe travels and we'll be back in two weeks with a Dollop of Disney picture.
