Last of Summer, Camping, and Rockstars

Catching up again. I made it before October! We're doing well over here. The girls had a really bad cold/flu for a week or so, now we all have had some coughing, but that's the start of fall for you.

We went camping over Labor Day weekend with some friends. There were three toddlers, a newborn, and four dogs in a one room cabin plus tents. It was fun! Surprisingly hot. We went to Wyalusing State Park (where the Wisconsin and Mississippi Rivers come together) with the three toddlers and had a great time. 



 Camping! With their friend Charlie (6 months younger) behind.

 Don't even THINK about taking my juicebox

 No idea why she's so angry
The duck decoy was a big hit

 Holding hands and running around. Couldn't get a non-blurry picture due to the running but SO SWEET

 More hand-holding
 Trying out big girl undies. Not going to work for awhile but had to get them from the Mothers of Multiples Resale for when we might need them.
 Their new potties also from the resale. They've been slowly increasing their pottying - we're doing very chill potty "learning". Basically letting them run around naked. Yesterday Freya went pee four times and poo once in the potty!
 Sick bears :-( It was so sad to see. Freya especially - she slept as much as 20 hours a day and when she was up all she did was sit on the couch looking like that

 Kerry giving them their first makeup lesson
 Signe loves when people build her a chair out of duplos
 Their new little table from a garage sale
 Ready to take after her softball-pitcher aunts
 Toga time
 Her majesty
 And then Freya goes after her with a hammer
 We went to an event where they had a bunch of construction trucks, fire/police cars, a bus, etc. Also there was a kids-to-kids garage sale with lots of toys. They were not impressed by the very big and loud trucks...they did succeed in each getting new special toy :-) Here is Freya's dolly
 And Signe's vacuum

 Daddy found a drum set at a garage sale. He's been wanting one for awhile, for himself and for the girls to have around. Now we just need to find a place for it to live

August Fun

I'm in trouble...the more I put off doing a blog post the more the pictures pile up and then I put it off more and then we get into the current situation, a month since my last post. Well, here we go with photos galore.

Learning Physiology with daddy

 At the Atwood festival








 Brushing dolly's hair

 Don't really know what's going on here

 Silly mcgee

 Bundled in a blanket. She loves doing this now.

 Just a girl playing with a box

 !!!

 Being a fish in the bath

 On a cold day Mama decided to be all pintrest-y and made cloud dough. Look at them playing and exploring it. 

 A bit of mess but that'll happen right. Mama then had to go out and Daddy was in charge. 

 And this happened


 Yes that's Freya rubbing her head in a mixture of flour and oil. Did I mention they are on a bath strike and Freya in particular hates getting her hair washed?



 Later the girls observe a fun  zombie game Mark and Daddy are playing 

 In too small swimsuits for no reason. This is why you hide things you don't want toddlers to wear. They will inevitably beg you to wear them. 


 "Signe contemplative with crayon face"

 She was pretty proud of putting that on herself



 Spot-the-squished-sister



 Mama's shoes are complicated

 Signe's big new thing - hiding under blankets. All the time.



 Shower curtain shenanigans



 Dinner in the front yard



 My computer is not long for this world

 What's under there Signe?

 Basket baby

And back in the box
