This month was all about exploring! We spent lots of time outside and I'm slowly getting used to letting the girls get all messy before we come inside and clean up. Here we are playing with a ball. Leonie is in the blue hat.
Playing in the dirt!
Now that the girls have the run of the house they also enjoy waving bye to Daddy and welcoming him home again. It's so cute to see them get all excited when he gets out of the car!
Talk about two peas in a pod! One can't do anything without the other, haha. Here they are in the cooler after helping Daddy unload groceries. Elsie on the left.
Laundry helpers. Elsie in front.
Future AquaAiders! Riding around on my water cart. Leonie on the left.
More laundry help. Elsie on the left.
This month we also visited the aquarium on Skidaway Island again for their open house. Here's Leonie in front of one of the tanks. It was nice to see old friends there and see some of my photographs still used on signs (the spadefish photo below is one of them).
Elsie playing with fish puppets.
The weather has been great for wandering around the yard exploring. Here we are playing with rocks in a flower bed. Leonie on the left.
Helping pick up pinecones for the rabbits. Leonie on the left.
The girls love to go in the garden with me and eat fresh green peppers. They have even started picking their own peppers! Elsie on the left.
The girls love water too! Here's Elsie playing in the spray of the soaker hoses.
Leonie enjoying a pepper.
A few days ago we also discovered how much fun the sandy driveway can be. Who needs a sandbox when you live in the sandy south! Here's Leonie.
And Elsie.
Elsie making a sand angel.
Leonie's turn.
On a chilly day we even got to try out these adorable jackets from my Aunt Cindy. Leonie on the left.
Matthew and I did get a rare chance to go dancing one evening this month while my parents were visiting. We went to a Halloween party at a local studio. Our costumes weren't too exciting but we were just happy to get out! (My dress is a square dancing dress made by my grandmother)
Finally, here are some videos from this month.
