Amanda and Alissa sing the hits

Funniest part is when Amanda tries to say “Thank-you” half way through.

Strange little people

With every day, the kids’ personalities and interactions become more and more interesting.

First, they’re becoming more and more “hammy” in front of the camera.

Second, they’re fighting more.

Third, they’re imitate us more and more.

Fourth, they’re developing physical skills like Ashley’s “hopping.”

And finally, when they’re not fighting, they occasionally will all play together.

Preschool summer program activities

Alissa’s preschool program does a lot of field trips during the summer months. All of the parents are pretty involved so there’s typically a healthy mix of kids and adults. That plus the fact that two of our friends have kids who go to the same school means that Bonnie has had at least a little help in those instances when she has had to bring all three kids along.

Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to participate much since I just started the new job, but I have been able to follow along at least through pictures Bonnie sends from her iphone. Here are some of the highlights:

Serra Bowl:

Apparently, the kids were only really interested for the first few frames:

Happiness is The Sticker Factory:

Bay Area Discovery Museum:

Carnival Day:

Also, here are a few other random shots from the last couple weeks.

Not sure why we’re all lying down on the floor:

Staycation video

I forgot to post this short video of a few parts of our staycation.

Alissa sings the hits + Amanda’s new doo

I’ve been trying to do some video lately… here’s a rehearsal session from Alissa:

Benita put Amanda’s hair up in a plume the other day:

Amanda gettin’ jiggy with it

Amanda and Ashley love their new musical grocery cart. They don’t really push it around, they prefer to stand in it. I guess the view is better from up there. And Amanda likes to dance in it. She bounces up and down and sometimes puts her hand up in the air like she’s raising the roof. Anyway, watch it for yourself.

Dancing babies

Amanda may be little…

… but she can hold her own.

Here’s my interpretation of what’s going though their heads.

Amanda picks up the book and says, “I’m gonna give this to mommy. Oops, I fell.”
Ashley, being the pain in the butt younger sister, immediately makes a move to get in Amanda’s way. “Haha, can’t get past me… I’m even going to arch my back so you can’t use the couch to get by.”
Amanda says, “Outta the way fatso!” and proceeds to throw her out of the way with a stiff arm before finishing her off with a hip check.

Ashley says, “Hi.”
