A few new accomplishments...

Peeling zucchini to make "spaghetti"

It's a cake, not a tower! They are making pizza, cake, and soup out of just about anything these days...

No picture for this one. Jasmin and Grace took out the garbage yesterday before school - and loved it. Jasmin carried the bag (since we sort garbage, it was quite light), and Grace managed to open the door of the garbage room. They were so proud to do it by themselves.

Grace has been asking me for wavy/curly hair. I finally found some time to do all the necessary braids. She did a fantastic job of sitting still, too. Too bad the braids didn't last even a few hours, and the waviness was a subtle extra "poof" that lasted 1/2 a day as she was invited to go swimming! Not to be outdone, Jasmin insisted a picture showing her hair do :o)

Friday Jasmin decided it really would be a neat thing to hold Caleb after all...
She wasn't all that sure about all the attention she got with it though! Or the fact that Caleb began to fuss...
We all commented on how oddly close in size Caleb and Jasmin looked when she was holding him.

We had a new visitor this last week...

The girls weren't that impressed - they felt stranded on the couch until Mommy came to the rescue. Jasmin was easy enough to convince to come have a look-see once Mommy was there, but Grace just couldn't understand why Mommy would rather observe and take pictures than sweep it up and throw it out the window!

Mommy was confined to the bedroom again last week in order to breathe well. She managed to find enough to keep two restless girls busy in there, but was sure thankful for the heavy rains over the weekend that have liberated her from needing aircon to breathe without difficulty!

One almost-desperate afternoon activity: put away Canada clothes and Mommy or Daddy's clothes for dress up...
