Clean Up Clean Up. Everybody Everywhere.
What a busy weekend! Among other things, we had a garage sale.
Several neighbors joined us and we had a decent turn out and all decluttered our homes.
One of those neighbors has a houseful of kids (too) and their oldest is a high schooler.
She's also our babysitter. Love Her!
They purged loads of stuffed animals from their house and had them in a massive storage tote box.
And this box mysteriously migrated to our side of the street and into our sale offerings no fewer than 10 times.
We so do not need more stuffed animals over here!
At the end of the sale, the leftovers were loaded up and taken to Goodwill. The exception being a couch that didn't sell. When J went to move the couch into our garage, it looked a little strange.
Could it be because EVERY single stuffed animal in the box was shoved under, behind and into the cushions? Hysterical!
So, J being who he is, couldn't walk away from the challenge. Hijinks ensued.
But, I'm pretty sure the neighbors and Baby Sitter got the last laugh.
Here's what we saw when we left the house this morning!
The girls thought Christmas came early.
*And because they really are awesome neighbors, it was all cleaned up when we came back home.
**But I am a little scared about what will be hidden in my house next time Baby Sitter comes over.

Sippy Cup Swingers
Em and Roo made some new friends today. We had a fun play date at the home of boy-girl twins, R & C. They were lovely and very hospitable. See Em drinking out of C's sippy cup.
C didn't even mind!
Roo took a swig out of a cup belonging to girl-girl twins, H & L (the other guests). Mostly, she wanted me to see "M.O." (Elmo) on the cup. Many times. Or she would sign "bird" and show me Big Bird's picture.
They happily shared their cups with the other twins, too.
The mamas were all chilled out about it. Very nice!
That's a major difference between hanging with singletons and, more specifically, first time moms of singletons. The twin mamas learn, early on, from the school of hard knocks to pick their battles.
As long as you don't drink Mommy's latte, you're cool. Play amongst yourselves.

Backyardigans
Might be time to buy some toddler playground equipment.
Here's what the girls used for backyard entertainment tonight.
Em playing in our planting box.
Which is due for a makeover. Into a sandbox. Sooner rather than later, I think.
Roo and Em playing "see ya here, see ya there" on both sides of our pet door.
Lots of laughs!
And Roo making the dog water bowl her own.
What IS it about that bowl?
