Unexpected escape!

Last week Bob was working down in Brooklyn, so the girls and I decided to crash his business trip and kidnap him for the day. 
 Walking on the boardwalk before the aquarium opened -- it was a bit foggy, but we braved it anyway!
 ....little dark inside, but beautiful tanks!
 ...playing peek-a-boo!
 ....and outside to the penguin pool -- and waiting for them to show up for the feeding! Danielle loved the penguins.....
 ....down to the underground portion of the pools....we saw seals and sea lions and penguins and yes, a walrus.....and even convinced the girls to pose!
 ....looking at......something....
 Yeah! So much fun!!!

Short sleeves!! (and playdoh)

Today we get to wear short sleeves!!! Okay, so that might not sound like a big deal to you, but to two little fashionistas, it's a BIG deal. We also got to play with some playdoh this morning, much to everyone's delight!
 Playing TOGETHER!!!
 Cheesy-face!
 Busy girl!
 Sisters!
 .....posing one last time before being TOTALLY absorbed by what they're doing!

Thank you Grandma Carol!!!

Grandma Carol made some adorable dresses for the girls!
 Awww...they stood still next to each other!
 Smiler!
 ....full length shot...
 .....more smiles!
 ....and a great smile from Danielle, too!

Tea Party!

The other day things got quiet....so of course I needed to investigate. Danielle had set up a tea party, and everyone was invited!

Playdate!

Last week some friends came over to play! (Their Mommy and Daddy went to see if baby bro or baby sis will be joining them in a few months -- I won't say for those who haven't had the news from them yet!) The kids had a blast, the train track was by far the biggest hit.....but what do you expect when two little boys enter girl-world?
 Getting it all set up....
 A-1 was fascinated.....
 Ashley set up all the princess to watch the show....
 A-2 also liked the Larry-mobile!
 .....and Danielle wanted to play dress up and make silly faces!

Princess castle and random playtime

What does a good daddy look like? He's not too proud to build a castle for his daughters' My Little Ponies, princess dolls, and Toy Story figures.  Kinda like this:
 ...setting it all up...
 All done!
 And so proud of it!
 Danielle was coloring.....
 ....which meant that Mom was able to do a pretty hair-do!
 Danielle is reading a story to Ashley!
 ...and Ashley is....um.....I have no idea what she's doing!

Bob the Tomato hat

Bob found an adorable hat for Ashley. She's quite fashionable!
 Such a cutie!
 ....I call this her "I'm so innocent!" face....
