No new posts in a awhile--Bronwen has been sick and now she has shared with me. I'll be heading to the doctor today to try to nip this thing in the bud.
Lila is finally getting some top teeth, which is exciting. I am fairly certain she has 4 top ones coming in at once. She has been wanting her pacifier more than usual, but other than that, she is as sweet as ever.
Okay--going to go get some Tylenol now.

BR Balloon Festival
It was hot--darn hot--but we braved the Baton Rouge Balloon Festival anyhow. Immediately we found a spot in the shade, and TJ, in true hunter/gatherer mode, went off to find some dinner. Lila, Bronwen and I had to entertain ourselves on a tiny patch of grass in the shade, but we managed until TJ returned. I admit I had an amazing turkey and mozzarella crepe sandwich--yes, it was in a crepe. Bronwen enjoyed a tasty hot dog, even though TJ had to remedy his grievous mistake of putting yellow cheese on the top of it (plain, only!), and Lila enjoyed whatever scraps we would throw her way. That sounds worse than it was, since she was the only one who had a snack before we left the house.
They had a children's area, but it consisted of activities that were either too old for the girls, or that had a ridiculously long line. We did go by the petting zoo area where they got to see ducklings, rabbits, chicks, and a baby goat, and they loved it.
Finally, as dusk settled in and it began to "cool" down, the balloons began to inflate:
I was really hot--don't know if you can tell :-)
Finally, the balloons are up!
Bronwen waits expectantly for the big finale:
Her favorite part, besides the glow, was counting down from 10 every time they got ready for the glow--she kept asking me to count down again and again with her:
Both girls stayed awake for the whole thing; we didn't stay for the 9:30 fireworks, but I have to say they were both so good on the ride home and for their late bath. I was especially impressed at how much of a trooper Lila was. She can definitely hang with the big kids!

Morning Artwork
Bronwen was up early this morning, and I told her she could draw on her easel until it was 7--the time when she is "allowed" to call for me. She came running out of her room into mine to inform me that she drew a tree. I admit I was a little shocked when I walked into her room and saw...
A super awesome tree!
I showed her the above picture, and she was concerned that I didn't get all the tree in it, so I took another. She pointed out that she made branches on the trunk. I am so proud of her--this is her first identifiable picture!

Playing in the Rain
During nap time on Tuesday we had a terrific thunderstorm. Bronwen woke up realizing it had rained and immediately asked to go outside to wear her new galoshes. Lila was happy to go too.
First things first--some puddle jumping:
Bronwen's method of playing? Running right through the middle of the biggest puddle she could find:
Lila, on the other hand, was a little more timid. Here, she checks out the water:
Gives it a feel:
Okay, actually she was not timid at all. T.J. informed me she saw the water and plopped herself right down in it and splashed.
Time to go home!

Part 2
T.J. was making me dizzy going around the island, so I made him go straight down the hallway this time.
