Obsessions

The big girls....are obsessed.  With what you may ask?  With clothes.  What clothes?  Well, it depends on the time of year.  Way back in April, they received new Easter dresses from Grandma J.  Well, those Easter dresses then became wear-every-single-day-that-mom-will-let-us dresses.  And because I wouldn't let them wear them to daycare (because I worried about how they would play on the playground comfortably in a dress), they decided that Easter dresses were the best possible option for pajamas.  And because Nate and I weren't in the fighting mood (pick your battles, right?), we let them wear their Easter dresses to bed almost every single night of the summer.

Fast forward to October.  Grandma L and I bought them new outfits for their birthday.  I know you know where this is going.  This is the *new* wear-every-single-day-that-mom-will-let-us outfit.  I'm on the verge of hiding them.  I let them wear these outfits to daycare since I don't have to worry about the logistics of them playing outside in them (partly because they're not dresses and partly because they now wear snowpants outside anyway).  But they don't care if they wore the outfits to daycare the day before, you can bet they will ask to wear them again the very next day...to which I say "ummm, no."  They whine...and beg...and I have to insist that they're dirty and need to be washed.  Obsessed.

They had their Christmas party today at daycare and there was a little gift exchange.  So I had purchased a gift for two of the other little girls and wrapped them last night.  Well the girls saw the gifts sitting on the table before bed last night and got really excited about their upcoming party.  I figured that was bad news...and I was right.  At 6 o'clock this morning, they were in my room asking if it was time to go to daycare yet.  "No, go back to bed."  Surprisingly, they did.  And they both actually fell back to sleep! 

But it was so cute this morning to see how excited they were to give their classmates the presents they bought for them.  Livi knew that she had gotten a gift for Cierra and Addi knew that her gift was for Abigail.  The whole way to daycare, they kept saying how Cierra and Abigail were going to be so happy to get their presents!

Lastly, we had our Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa J on Sunday.  The girls were just giddy with anticipation.  They scored some really neat and fun things from grandma and grandpa.  One of the things they received was a twin size bedding set.  Nate and I are getting them twin beds for Christmas.  So grandma found an absolutely adorable princess comforter, pillow case and bed sheet for their new beds.  The girls were so excited about it that they had to sleep with their new pillow cases right away that night!  Now we just have to get their new beds!!!
