Then to the Old Mill shopping center to get CC some new school clothes. The rest of the time was spent at playgrounds or trying to get them into the car. Seriously, when did it get so hard to corral them into the vehicle? It was easier when the twins couldn't walk and before CC learned to explain (I need to spend an entire post on CC and her propensity for explaining - I think it's the lawyer blood in her, she just needs to get her point across).
A big thanks for Auntie C and Uncle N for putting up with ALL of us. I'm sure they get just as sick of Nic and I as they do of the screeching howler monkeys they have for nieces.
On a lighter note, we were entertained by the chipmunks at our house, and I've got some cute pix of the monsters yelling at the chipmunks to come and eat the Nilla cookies from their hands. It sounded something like this, "Hey chipmunk, I's gots some cuuky for you! Come back, you, I give it to you! I nice (insert cheesy grin).....Chipmunk!!! Come baaaacckkkk!" Then a cute sulk when the chipmunk didn't understand that they came in peace and bearing gifts of delicious vanilla wafery goodness. Lost in translation, I guess.
On the way home we stopped at a park in Wilsonville that my husband built. I'm a little proud of him. It's been a year and the place is still standing (ha ha). It's actually quite beautiful, and the girls had fun at the playground/water fountain.
So, now my house is a wreck, I got Portland to Coast next weekend (AHHHHH!!! So out of shape, going to fail....ahhh...), and so much back burner Primary stuff left undone...and.....and....yeah. I just need to go to sleep. Peace out!
Here chipmunk, chipmunk....come to CC!
