New Toys!

Emmy, of course, wanted to get a new barbie (Rapunzel Barbie).

It's pretty cool; the hair extensions have beads on them and you snap it onto the beads that are already in the barbies hair. Then you can pretend to cut it off with the scissors... not really cutting the hair.

Spencer picked out this Handy Manny Tool Box.

Usually he's indecisive about what he wants, but not this time. I picked out other toys that I thought he would like and asked if he liked them better or if he still wanted the tools; he chose the tools every time.

The kids really miss Daddy. They say things like "Daddy can have this when he comes home", "We'll save this for Daddy", "I think I hear Daddy coming", "Maybe Daddy can come with us". Spencer asked me the other night as I was tucking him in bed who was going to tuck me in. So sweet! I just told him that Daddy will do it when he gets home and I would just tuck myself in until then.

Spencer had his first soccer lesson today. He did great! He's just like Emmy at her dance class. They go to learn and are very serious; it's not a time to mess around. I wouldn't mind at all if they did goof off a bit, but I am glad that they are really into their activities.
