Lucy thought it would be a good idea to build a slide out of Mommy's work out mat. The only thing is that it is a non-skid mat. Not so good for sliding. So then Daddy had the good idea of sliding on the mat with the kick board. Still too much friction. Then Mommy had to put in her two cents and got out a sheet to cover the mat. Hmmm....maybe the slide a the park across the street might work better next time.

Maggie being cute.
I am a sucker for toys on sale. Each girl got to pick out a new one. Then the only wanted to play with the others toy.
She looks sweet holding her bottle, but since Maggie has learned to crawl and pull up she is into everything. More often than not she is trying to eat dog food, stealing toys from Lucy and emptying the cabinets and baskets of toys onto the floor.
Today she sneaked a little people into the toilet right when I flushed it. Luckily Jon was able to get it out with the shop vac so we didn't have to call the plumber.
We went to parents night at Lucy's preschool last Wednesday. She got to play with the other children while Daddy, Mommy and Maggie learned more about the school year in another room. Lucy loved it and didn't want to go home. She asked to stay at preschool all night.
I realized that all the pictures from last week had the girls in their PJs. I do dress them. 
Cheeseburger!
Maggie is always up to something. I caught her tickling Lucy's feet.
Maggie playing dress up in Lucy's shoes. If you double click the photo you will probably be able to see Maggie's new top teeth that cut through this week.
So serious.
Maggie is now crawling forwards (really fast) and pulling up on everything. Lucy's cup is no longer safe being left on the coffee table.
It is fun to see what Maggie chooses to play with now that she can crawl better and doesn't have to tolerate whatever Mommy puts in front of her. So far her favorites are a basket of toy food and dishes, the doll house, an alligator xylophone and of course whatever Lucy happens to be playing with.
Daddy sold his truck. He also took a new position at work. He is still within the support group, but will now deal with after treatment(ask him for more details.)
Lucy had her 3 year check up 7/29 . She is doing great, she is the perfect little preschooler. She is 33 1/2 inches tall and 27lbs. Lucy also went to the dentist for the first time 8/16. She didn't let them clean her teeth this time, but she did get to see the office, meet the staff, see the tools and get a balloon buddy. She has also been busy getting ready for preschool which starts 9/8.
Mommy got a new hair cut 8/15. In other Mommy news I have a consultation with my OBGYN 8/26. They found a cyst on my left ovary during my pregnancy with Maggie. Since the stubborn thing is not going away on its own we are going to talk about what the next steps should be. Most likely a minor surgery to remove it.
As a family we have gone on lots a walks and taken lots of drives to the ice cream shop for chocolate ice cream cones. We also got a new water heater 8/5.
Maggie had her nine month check up 8/10. She is doing great too. She is 21#5oz (90th%), 28 1/2 inches long (75th %) and her head is 18 1/4" (96th%). She rocks a lot on her knees, scoots and rolls everywhere, and is pulling up on the bathtub. She babbles and smiles all the time and is basically the perfect baby.
