* I just booked a 90 minute spa facial plus a pedicure for next week. Golf in the morning, spa in the afternoon. I cannot think of a more perfect day off right now! Thank you Grandma for the very odd, supposedly belated graduation check that is funding this.
* I also booked the girls summer pictures. Another twin mom is a photographer and after much debate and research, I booked a session with her for the end of August. I'm thinking of ordering these pillowcase dresses for the shoot, but I've also seen some Gap dresses that I really like. I'm worried the pillowcase dresses may be too baggy, but they're so cute and cheap I'll probably order them either way.
* The girls have been climbing everything lately so today I sent the nanny to an indoor playground where they can climb to their hearts content on well padded equipment. She just sent me two pictures and they both have huge smiles on their faces. Caden especially needs this right now. She's been climbing absolutely everything the past week. Plus, we've spent so much time indoors with the rain they need to burn off some energy.
* I'm breaking up with the daycare lady today. I talked with another twin mom friend on Sunday and while I had pretty much made my decision already, she cemented it for me. We talked about how you're never 100% comfortable with any childcare provider, but as long as your kids are safe you can work through any issues. But with no fence, their safety isn't guaranteed. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't right?
* Liv had her dance recital on Saturday evening. Her tap routine was so, so good! The dance school she's going to does a really good job. The choreography was great, great costumes, good music choices, quick moving recital. She's taking ballet this summer and I just could not be more excited for her. It makes me excited for my girls to start taking lessons! While we were there I met her new half brother. He's around four months old and already weighs more than Caden.
