Life Lately...Two Weeks

 Zack covered Sydney's eyes during a scary part of Oz.

 Ellie met her cousin Claire who is two weeks older.  Yes, Ellie is bigger than Claire.  (Claire is my brother David's daughter.)

 Derek loved giving Ellie a bottle during a nursing rough patch.

 Matt played ping pong with all the kids.

 Ellie is just so cute.

 Seriously.

 So.Cute.

 First bath.

 So tired.

Just keepin' it real.  Sydney's pjs on the floor.  Folded laundry waiting to be put away.  Curlers in my hair and two very tired little girls asleep on my lap.

We decided to stay home for the 4th of July.  We took some donuts and chocolate milk to the park by our house and played tennis this morning.  Matt and Zack played quite a while and I took the other kids to the playground.  Each kid had a little lesson with Matt and I even hit a few balls back and forth.  It was fun!  It has been a long time since Matt and I played tennis together.  We came home to weed the yard a bit and then after lunch, Matt hooked some sprinkler concoction to the swing set and put the wading pool at the bottom of the slide.  The kids played out there for hours.  We just barely got the sand showered off all the kids and got cleaned up for the day.  (I still have the curlers in my hair).  Since both girls are still sleeping I better take my chance and go take the curlers out.  (When it is so hot, I hate to blow my hair dry.  The curlers help keep my my hair from being too frizzy without me having to do anything to it.  Also, this is first day since Ellie was born that I have even attempted to fix my hair.  Every other day it has been straight out of the shower and into a ponytail.  :)  Happy Fourth of July!!
