A Week of Saturdays

Ahhhhh the dreaded "get back in the routine after the holidays week" is here!  This is a little hard to swallow because we spent the entire week after Christmas treating everyday like it was a Saturday.  There was a lot of playing with new gifts going on (the girls mastering the new wii)...

And plenty of make believe (these little animals were "babies" for the day complete with pacifiers and bottles)...

I love the little glimpses of two girls playing happily together with no fighting or hitting...

Sometimes it really is the little things in life that matter most...

We spent sunny days outside (the weather here has been AMAZING) which meant an unplanned trip to The Kiddie Park was just what the doctor ordered...

Emerson is finally old enough to hop on all the rides.  She is a big fan of the carousel (I couldn't pick a favorite)...

We also took the opportunity to meet Grandad at the park as he was passing through town...

Grandad's are the best swing pushers...

That is until you learn to "swing" yourself...

After weeks like this one where things like routines, laundry, blogs and taking down the Christmas decor are gladly exchanged for happy little girls...

I'm reminded that sometimes we need a little "overdose" in the family fun department...

It does a body good!
