Finishing strong


Our summer is coming to a close, but we've still got our foot on the gas.  We've gone to pools, parks, museums, birthday parties, stores, school, and sporting events.  It's been a wonderful summer and we are feeling extremely fortunate to spend as much time together as we do while they're rapidly growing up.

We went to Nina's open house and she seems excited to start full-day preK.  Pip also enjoyed being there, so that could make for some interesting drop-offs with her in tow.  They do like to play together, but Pip seems to understand that she's one of the big kids now at daycare.  A funny back and forth between the girls today went like this:
Nina: "Let's play Simon Says, I'll be Simon."
Pip:  "I'll be Says.  I get to say the words."


 
"Are you serious?"     ----    Nina said, "look, I can draw curse words."

We took our annual trip to see the Saint Paul Saints play a game, but this time at the new stadium.  It was gorgeous, and they kept their crazy charm of a pig in a tutu, massages from a nun, awful karaoke, and games between each half-inning.  The girls won bags of chips and had a fun time seeing all the action.  Pip cleaned every seat in our row in a wet wipe and cheered hard from her favorite, yellow seat.




And college football is back
