We had a visit to Ohio a few weeks ago and did pretty much all of our most favoritest things. The aunts and Diana and Grandma and Grandpa also watched over the girls while Martin and I headed to Ann Arbor for a few days of kid-free R&R. Pure heaven for all involved, I think.
Here's a rundown of what we did:
We gave this squinty-eyed look to Mommy multiple times a day and said, "Mommy, I'm sorry that you ran over my bike." (Long story. The good news is a chopper life-flighted a replacement wheel from Radio Flyer, and the tricycle has made a full recovery.)
We went on wagon rides.
We read some good books.
We watched the 4th of July parade and got enough candy thrown our way to last us until we reach high school (if only our parents hadn't eaten it all).
We painted rocks (a Lakeside tradition). Gee, think Emma is exhausted and overwhelmed?
We rode around with Shuttle Earl on the job.
We ate lots and lots and lots of pizza. Often outside. And often mostly naked. (And sometimes totally naked. We're classy like that. My parents' neighbors must wonder who these hillbilly children are.)
We played in Lakeside's awesome sandbox 14,357 times.
We (finally, finally, FINALLY) got two more teeth. Emma was soooo sad and made sure that Aunt Kimmy and the rest of her loyal entourage never let her feet touch the ground.
We saw model trains with Daddy.
And just generally partied until we could party no more. (And, yes, Libby is pretending here; Emma is most certainly not.)

What fun we had with Libby and Emma at Lakeside. It's easy to baby sit when you give the girls whatever they want and yes that includes ice cream for breakfast. Thanks to everyone we made it while Kerri and Martin had a few days (and their first days) away from the kids. It was fun and we look forward to spoiling them again. Love to everyone.
