Baths just got a little more colorful around here! I bought some bath tablets by Crayola that dissolve and turn the water fun colors! Tonight, Fischer had red (although it looks pink) and Addison had green. They were a little surprised at first, but then seemed to enjoy the change!

Today is the season opener for Gamecock football. I'm so excited, and I'm pretty sure Addison and Fischer are too!!

Last year, they couldn't even sit up on their own when football season started! (Now, I can barely get them together long enough to take a picture of the two of them).

Here's hoping for a good season! Go Cocks!!

We finally got Addison and Fischer's lawn chairs out again. Last time we had them out (months and months ago), the chairs were just too big for Addison and Fischer.  So, I had it in my mind that the chairs were quite large.  When I finally got them out last night, they were so tiny. Things like this really show me how big Addison and Fischer are getting!

I tried really hard to get a picture of both of them in their chairs, but it just wasn't in their plans. They were too busy plotting their getaway in their new car...

Or maybe they were too busy watching Daddy grill our yummy dinner (which he had to start doing outside of the fence because of our curious little children)....

Or maybe Fischer was too busy inspecting an adult beverage bottle...

Finally, Addison decided to take a little rest in her chair. She wanted to study her new rock.

We've had fun playing outside at night these past few days. It will be even better when it's actually cool enough to play outside during the day for more than 15 minutes at at time! Hopefully soon!

We went to the zoo one morning last week. It was early, so it was still in the low 70s. The animals seemed to enjoy the nice weather just as much as we did.

I'd say this bear was pretty relaxed...

The gorillas were out and active, which was really neat. However, I had quite a scare when this gorilla suddenly made eye contact with me, ran over, pounded his fist on the wooden post on the left of the picture and ran off. Addison and Fischer seemed to like the activity though!

In addition to a fun day at the zoo, Addison and Fischer got a new ride over the weekend.

They seem to love it, and I love that I found it at a consignment sale for just $5! They are already practicing for when they have to share a car in 15 years. :)

Last Sunday was our last day in Pennsylvania. We spent the day outlet shopping (where Addison and Fisher got their first Minnie Mouse and Mickey Mouse stuffed animals), then relaxing at home. We were going to drive all night again to come home, so we tried to rest up a little bit for our trip. We left around 7:15 pm again, and got home around 5 am. We were exhausted, but once again, Addison and Fischer did great on the drive!

When we got home, there was a package waiting for us.  On and off, for the past year or so, I've searched for replacement "wubbies" for Addison and Fischer. They each received one as a gift before they were born. Once they started using them, I realized that it would be a good idea to purchase identical ones to have as back ups. I finally found one for Addison, so she finally has two. This is a great thing, because she has become extremely attached to her "wee-wee" and it's getting nastier by the day. I'm having to wash it a lot more now, so it's nice to have another one so that I don't have to rush between naps to get it washed! I'm still searching for Fischer's twin wubby! Here are Addison's - the new one on the left is so soft, and the colors are still so bright.

Other than that, things are getting back to normal around here after our trip. It takes awhile to get unpacked and caught up on laundry. It's taken a little longer to get back on track this time because Addison and Fischer have had colds for several days. Hopefully they are feeling all better very soon!

Last Saturday was an exciting day. We went to an amusement park near Scott's mom's called Dutch Wonderland. I was so excited to take Addison and Fischer on some rides. They had several rides that kids their size/age could go on, as long as Scott and I went also.  It ended up being extremely crowded, so we didn't get to ride as many rides as I was hoping to because the lines were so long. Standing in line with 2 wiggly toddlers isn't much fun. :)

This is the first ride we all went on. Addison and Fischer had fun driving the trucks! Addison kept turning around to check on Fischer, who was behind us.

We also rode on boats, which was fun. All 4 of us got to go in the same boat. It was hard taking pictures, since I was holding onto Addison so she wouldn't suddenly jump out of the little boat. :)

We then rode a train around the entire park. Addison rode with Grandma K.

It was a fun day! I hope to go back when they are a little bit bigger so they can enjoy even more of the rides! Here are a few more pictures from the day:

Friday morning in PA, we woke up feeling rested and ready to go! Our only planned thing for the day was to go visit Scott's Grandmom. I think she enjoyed watching Addison and Fischer run around for a couple of hours!

Afterwards, we went to lunch, where Addison cuddled with her noodles. :) Then, we went back to the park close to Scott's mom's house and went swimming. The water was pretty cold, but we had fun once we got used to the temperature. Addison and Fischer still enjoy drinking pool water, which I always worry about. There is just no stopping them though!

Later in the evening, Scott's sister and her family arrived. Addison and Fischer enjoyed playing with their 3 older cousins. They were worn out by bedtime!

Here is Grandma K with all 5 of her grandkids. It's so nice for when they can all be together!
