To say the girls are excited about their party on Sunday would be an understatement. They can’t stop talking about it and they’ve been playing birthday party all week. We go over the guest list pretty much hourly and each time they are just as excited about each and every person that is coming to their party.
My mom has been here for a week now and my dad arrives today. It’s been nice having my mom around but as usual John and I have chosen to do things around the house rather than going out for dinner or a movie. We almost went to Pirates of the Carribean on Saturday night but then I found out it was 3 hours long and we wouldn’t be home til 1am. Poor John has such a boring wife. In my defense, I did say I would go see it at the drive in so I could sleep in the car.
Leah and Emma are really enjoying the nice weather. Our park has a splash pad and they turned on the water last week. All was well until Leah got caught in the crossfire of the spitting hippos. Now she is terrified. I think Emma will go in once we meet her 8 year old ‘friends’ at the park. We’ll see. It might be another year before they aren’t such whiners about cold water.
The park also has a little soccer field. I never knew they had mini fields. The older little kids play full field and the little ones play across so the field is really short. They don’t start soccer til they’re 4 and I am really looking forward to it. Last week Emma declared she wanted to be a baseball player and then a soccer player when she grew up. It was a proud moment since I am pretty set on not having girly girls. The next day she said she wanted to be a princess. We were in the car and John and I both choked in unison. Leah said she wanted to be a mommy and have three babies. Help us 
Claire is doing well. I had some supply issues and I’ve given up exercisinig (and I’m devastated!) to see if I can’t get it sorted out. I think maybe it was a combination of the heat and her teething but I’m not taking any chances. She seems to be getting enough now but last week I was 5 feet away from buying her some formula. I really don’t care if she has formula but I think giving it to her is a good way to cause me all sorts of supply problems.
Claire has also found her feet. She just sits and stares at them. She thinks it’s really funny when the girls tickle them as well.
I’ve got some pictures on John’s computer that I need to put up on Flickr.
