Watch Out for Wendy!

Little Miss Wendy knocked her good pal, Diego, in the nose today and gave him a bloody nose. It looks like she's already making boys cry at just 7 months. We aren't joking when we tell people that she's a feisty little one. 






Tie Dye T-shirts

We made tie dye shirts this week with Adriana. Z wanted her own pool for the back yard. 





Here's the final product. 









ZZ's Sweetness

Z got to run some errands with Daddy the other day. Before they left Target she said, "we need to get Mama a drink" and pointed to the Starbucks. K agree and took her to the Srarbucks at Target, but they said they weren't serving got drinks ( in 100 degree weather), and K still had more stops so a cold drink wouldn't last. Instead, he got Z a raspberry lemonade and explained why her plan wouldn't work this time. Z looked at her drink and said, "we have to share my drink with Mama...and Lia." K laughed and told her how sweet she was to think of us. Needless to say, the drink didn't last all the way home and Z looked down at it, a bit surprised and disappointed with herself and announced that it was all gone. She's about the most tender-hearted two year old around.

Swimming

Baby Gwndolyn fell asleep on our walk to the pool tonight. We let her enjoy an evening nap for a few minutes while the rest of us swam. Lest she miss out on the fun (or not sleep well during the night), we woke her up after 10 minutes for a little dip in the pool. 

Everyone loves the water for now. Lia jumps in the pool like a boss. Zadie has such a pathetic jump that she has knocked her rear end on the side of the pool a few times. Gwendolyn just smiles and flaps her little penguin wings, making splashes.

"America is Dying" and "Shake your Booty"

While playing with their musical globe this morning we were talking about the continents as they lit up and played regional music. The batteries were beginning to fail when we played some music from North America. They then just gave out and the music stopped. We pressed North America again, and it failed again. 

Z looks up and says, "America is dying." No room for politicians in this house. 

We changed the batteries and got all of the continents operating again. As music played from Asia and the girls danced with their hands L says, "Shake your booty, Mama." To which Z responds, "No, we don't shake our booty in Asia. We move our hands." Oh, these girlies.
