My little reader

Yesterday I was in the kitchen doing a bunch of things while the girls played and read in the family room. I wouldn't necessarily say that I was ignoring them....but I was definitely focused on what I was doing and NOT on what they were doing. All of a sudden, I heard Reagan reading the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear by Eric Carle.  She had the words right (yes, it's a super easy, repetitive book, but still!!!!!....) and was reading the book to Riley. I stood and stared at them for about 30 seconds trying not to cry at the fact that my little baby was "reading" a book!!! Then I ran to grab my phone to try and get it on video. It was amazing. I was so impressed!!!! Here is a link to the video...for some reason it was too long so I just uploaded it to YouTube! Check it out!!!!

A random assortment!

I know it's time for an update...but truthfully we haven't done anything SUPER exciting in a while. The weather has been great still (I hear it's changing tomorrow!) and so I've taken the girls to the beach every day, every chance I can get. They love it there so much and have so much fun (and so do I!). This morning we were there and were the only ones on the beach for a whole hour...amazing! We've also been going to the playground a lot too which they LOVE. We went on Sunday with Matt and I got some video of them singing for us in the car. They still sing NONSTOP all day long. The videos aren't the best, but you'll get the idea!
Last week we did have a rainy day and I think I've said this before, but the one thing that Jacksonville is lacking is something to do with toddlers when it rains! We're not ready for the movies or museums yet and I clearly can't go to the beach or the zoo! So....I took the girls to the one indoor mall nearby (our biggest shopping area is amazing but like everything else is all outside), and they got to ride the train inside of the mall all around.  It was probably one of my least favorite things I've done in awhile...but they were in heaven and talked about it for the rest of the day, so it was worth it!!! We are having a set of twins (boy/girl) over tomorrow afternoon for a playdate so that should be fun/interesting!!! I'll keep you posted! Anyways, enjoy the random assortment of pictures/video below!!!
