Perfect Kite Weather

It has been WINDY here!!! Not good for our allergies, but perfect for flying a kite! Last weekend we took the girls to Benton and Kristin's lake for a little fishing and kite flying. The girls loved it and they thought it was hilarious when the kite would come crashing down.

I think Hannah looks so old in this picture :(

Bally got all tangled up in the kite string!

We also had a major tragedy last weekend. Let me preface it by saying this...Hannah is VERY into her baby dolls and there are 2 that she is especially attached to (Baby Molly and Baby Kristin). I really think that she thinks they are real babies sometimes. She's very serious about taking care of them and being a good mommy. When she goes to school, she always asks me to take care of them when she's gone and always asks me when I pick her up if her babies cried, if I fed them, etc.

Saturday night she went to put her babies to bed and she couldn't find them...anywhere! We tore the house apart looking for them. Searched both cars, searched golf carts, called every place that we had been the last 3 days (even though she said she had them Saturday morning), called friends we had been with, searched the front and backyard...they were gone! It drove me crazy that I couldn't figure out where they were and Hannah was devastated...seriously, crying so hard, worried that they were lost and that whoever found them wouldn't know that they had to hold their hand when they crossed the street, etc. For 3 days, that's all we heard about...her lost babies...literally ALL. DAY. LONG!!!

Yesterday morning I got the girls up and I was changing Alice Anne's diaper. Hannah was standing next to me talking away and literally mid-sentence, she stopped, gasped, and said, "MOMMY!!! I know where my babies are!! I'll be right back!" She ran in the playroom and a few seconds later I heard her screaming like she had won the lottery or something! She ran back into Alice Anne's room with both Molly and Kristin! Of course I was so excited, too, and I asked her where she found them. She laughed and said, "I forgot that I put them down for a nap in the chimney of my playhouse." Yes, she climbed up on the back of her chair and put them in the chimney so the wouldn't be disturbed. Never would have thought to look in the chimney for babies! So relieved those babies are back!!

Giving Baby Molly a big hug!

The girls got a little playhouse last weekend. They LOVE it! We're planning on spending lots of time in it now that the weather is so nice!
