Sometimes they like each other!

I can tell you its not easy trying to raise 2 strong willed girls who are 2 yrs apart. They are constantly having a battle of the wills, all out WWE wrestling happens at our house daily. I know 20 years from now they will be best friends and depend on each other for so much, hopefully, like my sister and I. But good lord! can we have a little more cute kissing and cuddling and a little less biting, pushing, and hair pulling?!?

Book Worms

In the last couple weeks Olivia has become obsessed with reading. Pretty much since birth I have not been able to get the kid to read a book or watch 5 mins of TV. Now, all she wants to do is read, she carries her books everywhere! It's so crazy how all the sudden their little brains just start cranking out the words. She will look at me and point to her book and say, "apple", its so freakin' cute!!

Today, Barb and I took the girls to the zoo. After 4 hrs, 2 trips through the "coolest" dinosaur exhibit ever, we were all beat and ready for a nap!! The weather was absolutely perfect, it was so much fun this year, Olivia got so excited for everything and Jillian of course too. This summer has been so great weather wise, hope it continues!!

Yesterday I went to my 1st farmers market, I have never been to into vegetables to be honest, i only like the ones i grow in my garden so i figured why bother. But now that healthy eating is all the rage around here, i thought I'd check it out. My friend recommended West allis farmers market, and it was delicious!! Last night we had roasted baby potatoes, corn on the cob, tonite i made pasta with fresh sugar snap peas, we had raspberries and strawberries for dessert. I don't think i can ever eat a pick n save strawberry again! I'm going back tomorrow, or checking out south shore's one. Yum yum.
