The fun never ends....

1. While Anth was showering today, the kids thought it would be fun to help clean the house... so apparently they took all the dish soap and emptied it onto the hard wood floors. Needless to say, Team Robinson- minus Mama- spent a large part of the day wiping and cleaning the floors! And they are still sticky and slippery...

2. Leah stays up until 10pm or later (in her room, quiet, so we just leave her alone) because she "really needs to take care of her babies"... When we go in her room in the morning, she has ALL her dolls spread out on ALL her blankets that she has arranged on her floor. Each baby has a book (or two or five) next to them, along with a few toys. And sometimes, even Leah is sound asleep on the floor, next to her babies. Too cute!!!

3. Logan (and Leah) now play "Night Time" with the neighborhood girls. It usually goes something like this: Leah is usually the "Mom or Dad" and she is instructed to tell the "teenagers" who are Abby, Logan, and Sophie, that they need to go to bed. Well, the two girls plus Logan all snuggle and cuddle in Logan's bed under the covers. Who else knows what goes on under there but... it is hilarious!! And they are SO serious about their play. They also play "Mommies and Daddies" where Logan is usually the "husband" and Abby is the "wife"... it is too funny to listen to their little ideas and games... so innocent but yet, already the hormones are raging... YIKES! Another fun game is "Camping in the Outdoors" (in our backyard, no less) thanks to Uncle B... I'll let your imaginations run wild. However, I will say, we have many piles of sticks, plants, stones, fire-pits, and animal traps in our backyard. And beware if you are a PIRATE- you will never survive with these kids!!!!

4. Logan and Leah both took gymnastics this summer and BOTH were recommended for the "STARS" class which is a teacher invite only program! Whoo-hoo way to go, Lo and Le. Logan can do 1-handed cartwheels and Leah can do no-hands somersaults! However, we have decided to just leave the kids in the regular gymnastics class.. actually we are taking a break from gymnastics for the fall and will resume in the winter. After all, they are ONLY 2 and 4!!! We think the transition to more preschool days and times will be enough for now. They need to have time to run free in the backyard, right? As PROUD of them that we are, come on, they are too little to be on the competitive gymnastics team... maybe next year!?!? :-)

Our days are filled with excitement, amazement, and wonder. Everyday both Lo and Le continue to impress us with their knowledge. They are SO different but yet SO similar in their mannerisms. I LOVE watching them grow and learn, interact with each other, and develop into little people! Being a Mom is definitely the HARDEST thing ever but it is also the BEST thing ever! And I think Anthony would agree.....

Every day I learn something new and continue to be amazed my my magical children!!!!
