Our girls could not be more different, in personality. A few days ago, they both shared their dreams from the previous night. Here they are:
Paige:
"Mom, I had a bad dream. I was at a birthday party and you told me I could only have one piece of cake. But then a waiter guy walked by and he offered me a second piece of cake, so I took it. And I only had a few bites when you saw that I had a second piece of cake and you took it from me and threw it away."
Rylie:
"Oh, I had a bad dream too. There was a puppy stuck in a stroller, maybe with glue. The stroller was stuck in a tree, way up high. The tree was surrounded by hot lava, and I couldn't get to it."
So there you have it.

Video summary of June
So June is winding down. Here's a little of what we've been up to since the last post:
Paige finished kindergarten (she's in the back row, third from the left).
Paige's first swim team time trail. She's in the second lane from the camera. Pink goggles, stands up at end before touching the wall-whoopsie daisy.
Rylie overcame her fear of bouncy house slides.

Our April and May calendars were full, which is an understatement.
Here's what we did: Both girls had birthdays, we had an anniversary, there was Mother's Day, the girls "tried" gymnastics, Paige "did" field hockey, both girls had swim lessons, Paige had Daisy scouts....then there was all the normal "other stuff." Let's just say that it was hectic.
Now the school year is winding down and we're planning a little calmer summer relaxing at the pool.
Oh, and here is a video of Rylie sleeping while our wood floors were being installed. I just thought it was funny.

Paige is a mini-Molly
Today in the car, Paige said, "I like winter, but only because of Christmas; after that, I want summer." Then she did amend it with, "but I do like snowdays, so unless it is snowing, it should be summer."
Everyday she just gets more and more like me...

It's been how long??
It's been a while, so I thought I would actually write on our family blog. We've had a lot going on, and the girls are growing like crazy, so here goes...
Paige is half-way through kindergarten and LOVES it. According to her (which, as a teacher, I know not to believe anything that she says), her teacher told her that she's already reading well enough to go to 1st grade, so she thinks she's only got another week or so before she heads on down the hall and gets to stay all day for first grade. I told her that she has to finish the year in kindergarten, but apparently "that's not what Mrs. Brockway said..." Duh. I'll leave this as reason #472 as to why we don't believe anything unless we hear it directly from the teacher. She's also doing swim lessons, where she masterfully swims (and is even starting to move her arms while she swims!), and dance lessons with Rylie, where the two of them thump around in cute dance clothes and call it dancing. Paige has grown into quite the little lady and is turning out to be both thoughtful and gracious, which is all we can ask for.
Rylie is our little comedian and her goal in life is to make people laugh. Just a few minutes ago, I overheard this interaction:
Paige: Rylie, can I have the Elsa doll?
Rylie: You forgot to say the magic words.
Paige: Oh, sorry. Can I PLEASE have the Elsa doll?
Rylie: Nope, that's not the magic word.
Paige: Well, what's the magic word then?
Rylie: Fruit basket.
Paige: Oh, uh, okay. Fruit basket.
Rylie: Sure, here ya go.
Stuff like that. All. Day. Long. She makes it difficult for us to punish her, because she does have the ability to look at us and make us laugh, which she uses to diffuses all situations. Her best friend at school is a little boy named Alejandro, and he's into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, so she is also. That and Pokemon, both girls love Pokemon. I have no explanation for that one, but they walk around doing some chant about saving the world from devastation (debastataion, according to Ry), which apparently comes from that show. Ry is also doing swim lessons, and her teacher calls her "a little mermaid," but a mermaid that still requires flotation support.
Izzy is having a tough time this winter because she suffers from something called "princess paws" (which means her paws can't-or won't-touch mud or snow) and she can pull off a full body shake due to cold like no other dog I have seen. She MAY be a little spoiled though, so she gets prime spots under all blankets (and under the covers, in the bed, at night).
I'll try to be better about posting, I promise.
