Wordless Wednesday

Time To Take a Nap

In her usual fashion, Ella woke up well before Aidan did from their afternoon naps.  She and I were doing puzzles in the playroom when she heard Aidan sneeze on the monitor. She said "Bless you Aidan, Aidan sleeping!", to which I replied, "Yes, you should still be sleeping too!"

She gave me a quizzical look, jumped up and ran into the living room, calling for me to follow her.  I watched as she took the pillows off of the loveseat and laid them just where she wanted them on the floor.  She then laid down her sheep (which was a gift to me from my Dad for Easter one year when I was little) and covered it with Aidan's blanket.  Next, she got on the floor next to the sheep and told me me to "Tuck in, Mommy!".  

Once everything was to her liking, she said "Good Night Mommy, I take nap now.  Sweet dreams!"

Too cute!

It didn't last long though - she is a busy little bugger!  Shortly thereafter she hopped up and headed to the playroom kitchen, telling me she would "Be right back, I cook macaroni now!"

Wheels on the Bus

Ella and Aidan took a little time this afternoon while playing outside to sing one of their favorite songs!

Weekend Re-Cap

While I worked at the CMOM's (Charlotte Mothers of Multiples) sale all day Saturday, Mike and his Dad took the kids to the Aviation Museum here in Charlotte.  As a special  treat, they got to go to Dick Keffer's private hangar and sit in his personal plane! 

That evening my parents arrived and we all headed to Rotelli for dinner.

Sunday was filled with a wonderful brunch at Charleys (where Aidan actually tried a new food - Opa's french onion soup!) followed by a fun trip to Toys & Co where Opa and Grandma Shushi bought Aidan an ambulance and Ella a stuffed zebra.

That afternoon was filled with water play, popsicles, corn on the cob, and "haircuts" for Opa and Grandma Shushi.  Ella and Aidan were too cute coming at them with the toy pliers saying "snip, snip"!

On Monday we had a nice lunch at Cantina 1511 where Ella once again enjoyed her "cheese soup" (aka - our cheese dip appetizer which she takes over as her own and eats with a spoon!).

The kids each had a big bowl of ice cream for dessert and then we wandered around by the fountains before deciding it was just too hot to be outside in the sun!

It was a wonderful weekend - oh how we miss Opa and Grandma Shushi!
