My friend was able to go out of town this past week (to Miami, FL) with her husband to a medical conference where he presented his research. She had a friend all lined up to watch her kids, but that friend's g-pa had a massive heart attack, so she had to scramble to find somewhere else for the kids to go. We were blessed with Sidnie's BFF Halle. It was like having twins. They were great together, except at bedtime. We had to have Halle lay on the couch until she fell asleep and then carry her into the bedroom or they were talking, jumping on the beds and having a good old time.
They had fun having me spin them around in this chair. (And they didn't even get sick.)
A view from above them...(aren't they so cute?)
At the nursing home watching Spencer perform.
I can never get them to look at me at the same time for a picture. Here they are both looking at each other instead of at the camera.
A toothbrushing party one night in Zack and Spencer's room.
Breakfast one morning started with just the dehydrated marshmellows from Lucky Charms...
On Saturday night as we were eating dinner, Sidnie finished and came over to me and said: "I want to sit on your lap." I told her I was not done eating yet, and that she'd have to wait." She didn't fuss. She simply walked over to her Daddy and said: "Can I sit on your lap Daddy?" It was so cute. He was eating too, but after that simple and sweet request, how could he resist?
All smiles!
She was traumatized by the whole thing and this is as close as she got, wailing the whole time. How dare you try to put me on this stranger's lap!
Sidnie getting in on the antlers...
Zack with the 2nd graders ready to sing.
A nice smile while Zack sings...
Waving red and green flags--the colors of Christmas.
Kammie on the left and her best friend Ana Grace on the same row on the right with a striped red and white scarf.
A song with colored pipes to make cool sounds.
There's the smile we wanted...
