Sisterly Love
Rebecca made this drawing yesterday. It is of her and Olivia walking home from school. This whole week, Rebecca and Olivia have been walking home hand and hand. Talking about acorns, and planting "acorn trees". They have decided that they will plant "acorn trees" so that we can take pictures of the squirrels that are going to climb their "acorn trees". Although, Rebecca doesn't know if you plant an acorn, if it needs it's "hat" on or off...so she and Olivia are going to plant one acorn with it's "hat" and the other without a "hat", then they can see which acorn grows into a tree, and they will know for next time they plant acorns! Rebecca is so smart!
On Monday, Rebecca gave Olivia a manicure and a pedicure! Olivia sat very still for her fingernails, and stood very still for toenails to get painted a great shade of purple!
The next day after dinner, all three girls jumped on the trampoline.
Then cooled off in the sprinkler!
This morning, Isabella and Olivia were working at the table with their art stuff....Olivia likes to cut paper. She would cut paper all day if I would let her! The first thing she wants to do after we get back from taking Rebecca to school, is cut paper with her scissors! I was beginning to pack up for camping and the girls were at the table working so well together on their art projects. Then Olivia had to go to the bathroom......when I came in to check on her, she was just about to put a whole roll of toilet paper in the potty! Fortunately, I was able to rescue the toilet paper before it overflowed the toilet. Isabella, an innocent bystander, was ready for her nap, and was holding her blanket. I picked Isabella up, and noticed that her blanket was wet. When I asked Olivia if she knew why the blanket was wet, she said "I put it in the potty!" Oh, great! Now I had to wash the blanket! When Isabella saw me put the blanket in the washing machine, she started SCREAMING! She screamed non-stop for the 45 minutes it took to wash and dry her blanket!
Isabella was so mad, that she climbed into the rocking chair, buried her face in the cushion and screamed! Then sat in the chair and screamed!
As a last resort, I gave her fruit snacks and she stopped screaming, although she still had tears coming out of her eyes.....3 bags of fruit snacks later, blanket was all clean and warm from the dryer, Isabella was ready for a nap...and the house is quiet! I guess a mom's gotta do, what a mom's gotta do!
