Horse Play

October is moving fast and furious - we are already half way through! We tailgated the first week in October, and Aunt Jaynie came and watched the girls. One highlight of the evening was "the running around the tent" game. Matt bought the girls a $20 princess tent at a book fair awhile back. They had one before this one, but it fell apart and was junk. So Matt found this one, and it has been awesome.

So anyway, the girls play a funny game with it. One of them will hide inside it, and the other one will run around the outside and try to "hit" the girl inside. They giggle and laugh and chase each other. It is so hilarious to watch. Of course, it makes me nervous too, being the worrying Mom. Our living room is not huge, and I am always scared one of them will crash into something when they are running around the tent.

Speaking of running, Hannah has learned full - on running this month. She no longer toddles fast. She runs. It's so cute. She's getting so big! Twenty months already! Of course this fast running has caused her to take a couple of spills. Last night Laura and Hannah were playing "chase" upstairs after their bath. Hannah tripped and hit her face on a plastic bucket of toys, and it scraped her face pretty good.

Adorable!! Right now Laura is inside the castle and Hannah is giving her kisses through the castle's mesh window and giggling.

Another cute thing the girls have started lately is that they take turns on the rocking horse. Hannah will ride the rocking horse and say, "giddy up!" And Laura will push her through the kitchen. And they try to switch places; of course, Hannah is not strong enough to push Laura. So Laura just has to rock back and forth. They sometimes ride the horse together too. It warms my heart!

Another funny Laura quote:

"Mommy, did you know that when their is a huge river and then a huge waterfall, that that's China?"

We were watching the Duggers on TV and they were at Niagara Falls. That was Laura's comment.

I was supposed to go to the pumpkin patch with Laura's class on Wednesday, but it got rained out. Instead I took both girls with me, and we went to the Polaris Mall where they got to play on the animals there. Turned out to be a fun Mommy and Girls day. Matt is going to the pumpkin patch with Laura's class on Monday. There should be some good pics after that trip.
