First Haircut!

Ok, so we are WAY overdue in updating. Sorry about that! This post may be all over the place. Maybe we'll start with this weekend and work backwards.
We had a busy weekend! Saturday we got our very first official haircuts! Anna wasn't too impressed, but Grace did pretty well until the hair dryer came out. We probably won't be going back there ($18 for a kids haircut?!?!?!), but they were a good place for your very first cut. They gave us a little baggy with a couple of our curls in it along with a little certificate with the date, how old we are and we got some free hair bows.
























Saturday evening we went to Grammy and Grampy's lake house to spend the night. Grace decided to give up sleeping all night. We aren't really sure what that was about because we are both great sleepers. But by about 5am, we were both in bed with Mommy and Daddy!  YAY!  We liked the Sunday morning snuggles.  Grace was bright eyed and bushy tailed by a little after 7am, so she got up to make Mommy some coffee (really...we both know how to work the Keurig as long as Mommy puts the water in!).
Now that the weather is giving us a little break, we have been able to get outside some more.  We love playing with bubbles (or Buuuuh-Booooohhhsss) as Anna calls them.  If there is a bottle of buuuh-booohs laying around, Anna will be sure to grab it and bring it to Daddy!












A few weeks ago Daddy had to work so Mommy braved a road trip with us by herself and took us to Azle to see Grammy, Grampy and a bunch of other family we haven't seen in a while.  Unfortunately, Mommy only got a picture of one of those family members.  Grampy built us a great railing with a gate on the deck so we can just run free.  Grammy turned on her bubble machine and we just ran all over the place.  It was a lot of fun!!









And this is what we looked like about 4 minutes into the car ride back home.






We've also started sleeping like the big kids do at daycare on nap mats instead of pack 'n plays!
Here is us just getting comfy....


And after we are asleep. Grace is sideways with her feet in Anna's ribs.


We are also into brushing our teeth right now.  Toothpaste is yummy!  Mommy tells us to throw our toothbrush into the sink when we are done, and we have gotten pretty good at it.  It used to be a battle because we didn't ever want to stop chewing on the brush, but we looooooooove doing things on our own and in our own time so we like that Mommy lets us decide when we are done. 



We also do the same thing in the morning with our Wubanubs.  Mommy and Daddy let us chunk them back into our cribs instead of wrestling them away from us.  If we are instructed to throw something, we are all over it!
Now that fall is here, we are ready for football!  We got these awesome jerseys that maybe we'll be able to wear next season too!






The first time the weather dipped into the tolerable range, we went to an Italian car show with Mommy and Daddy.  It was fun to be able to walk around outside!!



Also we have recently attended our first outdoor high school football game.  Aunt Mary bought us some t-shirts so we could cheer on Cousin William!!  We had a lot of fun, even though we look mad in the pictures. 






It was really hot and past our bedtime.  We did pretty good and saved the waterworks for the car ride home and all the way to bed.



We have really taken a liking to things we aren't supposed to play with.  Those are the best toys!!









We also like making silly faces.










Trapping Anna in corners.






Playing piano with Grampy (Pee-Pee).



Having staring contests.




Playing dress up.



Grammy made this dress for Mommy when she was little!




Having glow in the dark baths.



And playing oven repair-woman.



We keep Mommy and Daddy busy, that is for sure! 

Until next time!!
