Highlights from the week

We have gotten back into our routine since being on vacation, and the girls have had a pretty fun week. Both girls have been enjoying the markers and crayons. Sophie used the brown marker to draw a beard on her face "just like daddy." Zoe has been having lots of fun coloring on the easel with the crayons. I haven't offered her the markers yet (I do learn from her sister!) On Saturday Sophie woke up from her nap to find a new (and very big) toy in the playroom: a Thomas the Tank Engine train set and table. I found this on Craig's List, but being new to the whole Thomas obsession I wasn't sure if it was a good deal. I called my sister since she knows all about the Thomas series from her son Chase, and I told her to peek at the pics of it online to let me know if it's a good deal. Her response was to drive over to the person's house and buy it immediately! We bought the set later that night while the girls were at Grandma Laura's for a sleepover. I had a lot of fun setting it up and couldn't wait for Sophie to see it! Both girls have been having fun with the trains, and I have to admit that I love playing with them too! Tonight we went back to Grandma Laura's house for Sunday dinner. It was a special dinner because Laura's Aunt Rita and Uncle Jerry were visiting from Florida, and Uncle Matt came too. I finally remembered to bring my camera and caught a great shot of the girls with Grandma.
