Okay, so maybe it is a bit scary. Even Blythe wouldn't let me pretend to bite her finger off. And she LOVES the mask aisle at Halloween.
I was feeling generous, so we went to Target so they could each get one new toy. It's been quite a while since we actually bought a toy. All the toys they acquired over Christmas and birthdays are no longer seeming very new. So the other thing I bought at Target was more plastic bins so I can renew my "toy vault" so they aren't all out all the time.
This morning the kids and I headed over to "Steppin Out", an annual street fair in Blacksburg. It was a nice way to kill about an hour as we got there right at the beginning of the day, so it wasn't too crowded yet. They both got balloons and a free stuffed animal (SO needed more of those...not). Then Blythe wanted to try a hula hoop but was failing miserably. The guy selling them tried to give her a personal lesson, but no luck. Maybe next year. I did spend 1 dollar so Blythe could jump in a bounce house for 5 minutes. Then both of them decorated (and then ate) a sugar cookie. Then we left and I had only spent the one dollar. Nice.
A bit later we headed to the pool with the Freel's. Blythe had a great time playing with her best bud Ashley.
Unfortunately the water was quite cold (they had just put in a lot of new water) and Blythe and cold water don't mix all that well. She swam, but not nearly what she normally does.
Ethan is quickly becoming friends with Luke (Ashley's brother who is 6 months older than Ethan). They are in the same class at day care, but with 6 months between them it took until about this age before they were able to actually play together. They had fun at the pool together too.
So even though it never did become sunny today like it was supposed to be (shocker), it was still a very fun day with the kids.
