The girls have gotten into some knock-knock jokes following a recently purchased book from the library book sale. One of their favorite sayings the last week has been "Rain, rain, go away! Come again another day!" So they loved the Wayne version of the joke. Today, they asked to go outside in a rain pour. They were too cute stomping in puddles and, of course, standing under the rain coming from the roof. They loved it, and I had to coax them in when the thunder was too close for my comfort. Playdoh was the order of the day for the rest of the morning as their pants were in the dryer.
Later that day, the girls and I met friends and went to the theater for a play. The girls were great, needing only minor bribing toward the end with some animal crackers. Gemma insisted on her own seat and didn't want me to touch her when seated. Here she is fending me off. (Notice the gum in her mouth. It wasn't there at the end of the show. Can you guess where I later found it? If you guessed loose in my purse, you were right. At least she didn't leave it on the floor.)
Afterwards, we went out for gelato and ran around on the town mall. The girls love to chase from tree to tree. We tried to fit a shopping trip in on the way home. Big mistake. Eleanor met one of her friends from preschool in the store. It was like Hollywood. They both ran at each other from across the aisles, alternately picking each other up. They jumped and giggled and wrestled each other to the floor for hours (okay - 5 minutes) and then we pulled them apart. Needless to say, Eleanor was in no fit mood to shop after that and did not settle down to sleep until 10:30 tonight.
