Weekend Adventures Begin

Every food we feed the girls is an experiment... there is no telling what their reaction will be.  this morning we tried some vegetarian breakfast "sausages" as well as English muffins with their eggs.  Success!  It isn't that we don't want to feed them real sausage, it was just what we happened to have in the freezer.  Eventually we will have all our groceries cycled through to foods for them, but right now we have to feed them the things we would have normally eaten.

After breakfast we did hair and then went on our adventure.  We call new things for the girls adventures so they have no ability to decline to try something new.  We packed up and went to see Elsa and Anna from "Frozen".  It had mixed results.  The line wasn't too long, but neither is the patience of the girls.  We let them wander a bit in the pavilion and they did okay.  At one point though Bug decided that she was done wearing pants and started stripping!  That is a new one for us.  We got all the way to the front of the line and then Bug didn't want to go see them.  Sissy did go up and get hugs and autographs (of which she has almost completely eaten).  We told the girls we would get their picture and put it in their room for them as well as give them a copy to give their mom, but they didn't stand for a picture.... This is the only one I managed to snap.

Don't fret, we have taken away this outfit that Sissy so dearly loves, but is giving her a wedgie and are giving it back to the foster closet.  It also is a one piece and has the most difficult buttons possible so it is terrible for toilet training.

After our adventure we came home to our favorite meal of hot dogs and beans.  We had a afternoon of playing in the house because it was wet outside.  At one point Bug was upset with Squirrel because she would not let her climb the dog gate which she also could not crawl through the cat door (now zip tied closed) so she tried to slam the door between the kitchen and living room which frustrated her terribly because we placed an anti-slam foam on the door.  The kid-proofing of the house is driving her crazy.  She is also not pleased with the refrigerator latch.   I have more evil plans for proofing in the works.

This afternoon our dear friend who found Bug a bike also found the girls a toy kitchen!  We are calling her our personal shopper at garage sales.  It was a wonderful find and it even has a light, microwave with sounds, and burner with lights.  We played with it a bit and we fought over it a bit.  After one of our major fights Sissy gave up and laid down and was out... even with poking and the dogs barking she slept right through dinner.  Dinner was a hit.  BBQ Pork, mac n cheese, potatoes, baked beans, green beans, and bread.  Bug loves her beans and Sissy loves her carbs.  Sissy ate after her long nap.  At that time Bug decided she needed to eat as well so she was distracted by a bubble bath.

During the kitchen fight, Squirrel was off shopping... she can't help it.  She gets sent for bleach, creamer and diapers and returns home with bleach, creamer, diapers and toys.

We now don't fight our baths, but we did fight our hair washing.  I feel like such a bully, but we managed to each fight a kid and wash their hair.  Bug fell asleep right after her bath and Sissy... still up, but we will be crashing soon.

Tomorrow's adventure awaits.  Both the adventure we are taking the girls on in the morning and the adventure of loving these two without losing our minds.

We are now laughing at a toddler that just rolled off the loveseat (with pillows that fell first so she had a soft landing) who has informed us she can no longer walk.  She says she is hurt, but it is just her pride and she is tired.  Time to tuck Sissy into bed.
