The Skirball Museum's Noah's Ark exhibit.

Keira sweeping up in the animal quarters, keeping her eyes on the lookout for any more that might fall from overhead :).
Good thing that poop is fake...she was fascinated with it.

We have video of the girls playing a duet on this, as well as some other cute clips, but we're having technical difficulties with getting video uploaded :(

I Wanna Be a Cowgirl

If there are shoes or hats left around, Allyse is sure to find them. I have found her walking around at a park in many diferent kids shoes, some we don't even know. Here she is in Isaacs boots and cowboy hat.

Yay, I Did It!

We hear, "yay, I did it!" a lot around our house nowadays. Whether it's because they've turned on the light, or put on their shoes, or sometimes it's for no reason at all...as far as we can tell. Last night I hear it from Keira who first, pulled out the drawer to climb up to grab the pepper shaker from off the counter, and then again when she has taken the lid off the shaker and poured its contents on the step. Hopefully I won't be sneezing everytime I turn on the vacuum.

Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Bedding Gone?

This is what we found last night as Randy and I checked on the girls before going to bed. Keira had thrown everything from her crib into Allyse's and I guess Allyse didn't want to give it back.

Fall Was Here...

...For a day. On Saturday I woke up to a morning that I had been waiting for for a long time. It was gray, rainy and a wonderful 65 degrees. We put on our jackets, went to the park and played in the rain, which I think was the first experience the girls had with rain. I pulled out my fall/Halloween decorations, made home-made soup and really tried to make some home-made rolls or some yummy treat. It was such a perfect day for baking, but Randy had to go into work and I therefore had to deal with the girls as well. Unfortunately, Sunday turned out to be bright and sunny again and today we were back in the 90's...grrrr!

Do You Swim in a Pool...

To keep yourself cool? Today we did! It is October first and it was nearly 100 degrees outside, so we went to the pool. I think today was only the fourth time we've made it to the pool this year, but I wouldn't have been able to go at all without the help of Carly and Kalei. A couple extra hands per girls makes a HUGE difference. Kalei made a miraculous, and I mean truly miraculous save of Allyse who, while I had my camera focused on Keira, was walking backwards and narrowly missed plunging underneath the water. I've decided I better just keep the camera home.

P.S. I cannot wait until it cools down!
