Crafts Fair At Lyndhurst and Park Playdate

On Saturday, the gang headed to Lyndhurst Castle- a short 5 minute drive to attend the crafts fair. Once Mommy and Daddy arrived, they realized they had been many years before when they came to visit Stef and Shon in Tarrytown (Mommy thinks it was pre-kids). It was lots of fun. Clara and Emma enjoyed lunch and music and visiting all the stands. Clara and Emma enjoyed bathtime. Emma refused to get her diaper put on her and peed on the floor of her bedroom. While Mommy and Daddy found humor in it, Emma had to go back in the bath and there was a nice mess to clean up.

On Sunday, Clara and Emma returned to the fair to enjoy some more music and walk around. It was such a nice day. The gang even bumped into someone- Elissa Kuber- a nice suprise. In the afternoon, Clara and Emma went with Mommy and Daddy to Home Depot.







Today, Mommy took the ladies to the gym and went spinning. Clara and Emma enjoyed showing Mommy how they can take their bibs off and wear them as hats- this is their new thing... After lunch, Mommy took them to the bookstore to get some books on parenting toddlers. Clara and Emma have both been very challenging when it comes to changing diapers and putting on clothes. Emma also is not very interested in being in the highchair and squirms around before screaming and crying. Clara expresses her frustration sometimes when being put in the stroller or carseat and tightens up and doesn't want to be strapped in.
In the afternoon, Mommy, Clara and Emma met up with Marci and Matt and Rachel and Sonya in the park. Clara enjoyed walking around and crawling some and eating a little dirt along the way. Mommy still can't get over Clara walking around. She still falls sometimes, but gets right back up. Emma also enjoyed crawling around and playing with the leaves. There was no doubt that it was going to be a bath night!
Tonight, Daddy came home early and played with Clara and Emma a bit before bathtime. Mommy and Daddy thought it was funny when Clara tried to help Emma take off her shirt. Emma enjoyed bathtime quite a bit as she picked up her beakers- one in each hand and watched the water pour out. She gets very excited! Mommy gave them their straw cups and Daddy read some stories before the ladies headed off to sleep.
