carlson time

The Carlsons joined us for dinner on Sunday and oh my, Annabelle was excited to see her friend Jack. The doorbell rang and she screamed "Jackie is here!". She creates quite a welcome for her pals.

The girls were at each other's throats all day. There was a lot of fighting over toys, pushing and even a few bites from GG. We're glad the Carlson's could come over and give our girls a much needed distraction from each other.

After dinner we enjoyed some Boston Creme cake -- that's my absolute favorite donut and it's just as delicious in cake form! The kids loved it too.

Ben is getting so big. He's such a cute and happy little guy!
He's sitting up unassisted now. Yay for Ben!

Jack getting down to business B gave GG a little helping hand with her cake
After dinner the girls were in much need of a bath. They played hard this weekend and were DIRTY! The take-away from Zach's bday party was "Mr Bubble" so the girls enjoyed their first bubble bath. Ok, GG enjoyed the bath - Annabelle not so much. At first she didn't like the bubbles, then she decided she liked them and didn't want to share with GG, and then she decided she didn't want to get out of the tub. Oh the drama! When the girls were finally in their pj's, they settled down, read books, and finally played sweet together.
GG is pulling on everything these days and taking lots of steps. Unfortunately this afternoon she got her first walking injury. She pulled a step stool over on herself. She cut her little nose and bruised her cheek. Poor girl! B and I were right there when it happened and although everything seemed to move in slow-motion we couldn't get to her in time. She was mad!!!! She cried and cried (which is very rare for GG) but she bounced back quickly and was cruising again in no time.
