Lydia begged me to let them have a lemonade stand. I was hesitant because we live on a busy road. I finally agreed, and warned her, "Just so you know, it's possible nobody will stop." They were able to scam some money from our extended family we had over for dinner, but really wanted somebody they didn't know to stop. Thankfully, a former coworker whom I hadn't seen in years drove by and saw the girls and stopped. She bought two cups and paid them extra, so we were set!
Tattoos!
Grandma Deb watched the girls while we went to a Brewers game. We came home to them covered in temporary tattoos. Temporary tattoos that don't come off even if you scrub their entire bodies with rubbing alcohol. Did I mention they had a doctor appointment too? I think they keep a separate file in a special place for our family. (Yeah, sorry, Audrey was naked. I had her cover her lady parts).
Butterflies!
We went to Family Night at the Zoo with some friends. Lydia really, really wanted a butterfly to land on her. She finally got one.
Charlie really, really did not want any butterflies to land on her, but the butterflies didn't seem to care.
Ice Skating!
It was ridiculously hot this week, so we took the girls ice skating. It was their first time and there was this awesome lady there with her kids who has been a skater and a coach for a long time. She asked us if it was OK to help the girls out a bit and she showed us all kind of tricks to help them learn. She was so, so helpful. The girls had so much fun and made such great improvement that we decided to sign them up for skating lessons in hopes that they'll like it better than dancing. We've been looking for a way out of dancing (neither of us are big fans of it), and told them they can decide between skating and dancing. They have a six-week session that starts next week and we're hoping it goes well.
Look at the little ice skates!
