The Hunt for Spiders
Yesterday daddy took the girls on a daddy/daughter date to The Factory for a spider hunt. The contest was for kids age 3-5. They put out pieces of chocolate candy with spider wrappers and hid them outside for the kids to find. Brooklyn went looking on her own and daddy took Sydney around helping her look. They both did great and Brooklyn one 3rd place collecting 27 spiders. Sydney collected 11. Brian said that Brooklyn probably would have at least got second if not first place had he helped her. The other kids parents were helping them look, but Brooklyn did it all by herself. The prize was a $10 gift card to any store in The Factory. They had a great time and were so excited to show me their bags of spiders when they got home. I have a feeling the spiders will end up in the Halloween bucket to hand out to kids so we don't end up eating them all.
Daddy Daughter Date
One of the fun things we like to do is daddy/daughter dates and mommy/daughter dates. It gives us one on one time with the girls. Tonight daddy took Sydney Kate to Dick's Sporting Goods to look for a reflective runners bib. He said she had a blast playing with the mannequins. He got some great pictures with his iPhone. Here is one of my favorites because I love her expression in it. This is just classic Sydney. Always smiling.
I stayed home with Brooklyn and we made ice creams sundaes. She had vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup and rainbow sprinkles. She loved smushing it around and watching the colors of the sprinkles turn the ice cream different colors. I didn't get a picture of it, but I wished I had.
Tonight when I was putting Brooklyn to sleep she said, "Mommy sorry for being mean today". Oh that melted my heart. She has the sweetest spirit about her, but she has a hard time controlling her anger when she is really mad. I am so glad she recognizes when she has done something wrong. The other night she prayed to Jesus and told Jesus she was sorry for getting mad. I love you my sweet Brooklyn. I so enjoy our times together. You too Sydo.
