Photo Op....

Mayson and Avery (mostly Mayson) have been pretending to be mermaids ALOT lately. They were given hula costumes last year, and they would wear the tops with pants or skirts. Mayson figured out a new way of doing it - put BOTH legs in one pant leg. This leaves her with an 'extra fin', which she wants me to tuck into the back of her 'fin'. She then hops around the house like she's in a potato sack race. She did this one day from the time she finished breakfast to when Jon got home from work, about 7 hours. On one pair of pants the seam has started to split - luckily, these are PLAY pants so I don't really care.

This was the day she went for 7 hours. She told me "I know this shows my tummy, but I am not going anywhere, I will just stay in the house so I will be modest. I know I can't leave the house like this and its just a costume".

They really like watching old videos of themselves on the camera, so one morning we started doing that, then they decided to 'just take pictures'. These next ones are the result of that.

Roewyn's 'EESE' face.

I'm not sure what Avery was doing here, but notice Roewyn in the background......
These are ones that Mayson and Avery took themselves while I was doing the dishes.....







This is Mayson standing next to 'the big measuring tape'. We measure their height once a month. They have each grown about an inch in the last couple months. Crazy.

Okay seriously! measuring once a month! I'm not worthy.
And yeh, well, I just think Jon's met his match with all those ladies in the house. Roewyn's face is awesome in that background picture. I caught it before I read the text. It cracked me up.

Cute!!! I love the mermaid pants. Haha. 7 hours, that takes dedication. They're pretty good little photographers!!
P.S. We had a blast last night, thanks for swimming with us! :)

Well, they're both gorgeous... not hard to see where they got the looks from though. I'm amazed that you keep up with their growth so well. I totally have no idea how tall they are or how it compares to earlier. I leave that to the doctor. I DO know that they've grown since they were babies though....
