taylor has always been a little more daring than alexis is. she climbs and hangs on everything and has almost no fear. im always finding her on the counter or climbing up bookcases. i think its her red hair!!! so today i came into the room and found her sitting on the floor with a chair. when i asked her what she was doing she just looked at me and calmly said "mom im stuck." i tried a couple of times to pull and twist the chair but everytime she said it hurt her ears. i slathered her face and ears and the chair with butter and oil but still she would not come out. alexis was such a good sister too. she sat next to taylor and held her hand and told her "dont worry sister mommy will unstick you." after a couple minutes of thinking and lots of giggling (i know thats not nice but i couldnt help it) i tried to move her from the living room to the kitchen, and when she stood up the chair just slipped down her body. why i didnt think of that first i dont know. im just glad i didnt have to cut the chair to get it off her neck or cut her neck to get back that chair (just kidding!!)
wednesday was a great day!! we got up really early packed the truck with fishing supplies stuffed an ice chest with picnic stuff and set off for some family time. the girls were so excited and could not get out of the truck fast enough when we got there. they each had their own princess fishing poles ready to go with hook and bait and were itching to cast them out into the water. alexis was doing awesome and was really throwing her line way out there. taylor was really happy because it was her first time time to actually fish. she has always been to small but not this time. she didnt get it out there as good as alexis but she tried so hard. after a while they lost interest but had fun playing in the dirt and picking flowers. they got to see a little otter swimming around and it went right in front of us, and they also saw a momma duck with 6 little ducklings. one little duck even swam near us and came up onto the shore for a quick minute. i had the first catch of the day but it was just a little guy so we had to throw him back but stephen got 2. it was so much fun to get out of town for a day and spend some time with stephen and my little girls.
