I've added some more pictures of us in Salt Lake City at the new Gateway mall. The fountain is amazing. It made the coolest popping noise when the water would squirt out of the little holes. All the kids there were having a lot of fun running through it. Hannah and Heather were a little young for it but had a great time standing in it with their Grandpa and Daddy.
We had Babushka's 5th birthday yesterday. Hannah decorated a dog bone with peanut butter (like she did with Igor) and blew the candle out for her. We made one for Igor too. Then we all had cupcakes in her honor.
Heather is now the age Hannah was when Heather was born. It is weird to think about it actually. I look at pictures of the two together, and see Hannah wearing the clothes Heather can now wear, thinking about what Hannah was like at that time etc. They look a lot a like at this age. Both are their own person, with different personalities though! I do see some shyness peeping through with Heather now. She likes to hide her face or close her eyes when strangers talk to her. It is cute. Luckily it doesn't seem to be as bad as Hannah's shyness. Hannah used to bury her head in my lap and I couldn't break free. Heather is a tad more physical and independant. She talks less too. But I bet a lot of that is just because she is the 2nd child. Nothing bad or good. It's just her! She is REALLY cute right now too, and I remember Hannah being so cute at this age too. Of course, she still is!
We've been thinking of Halloween already. Hannah keeps "reminding" us that we need to get chocolate eyeballs to give out. She will point out the store where we saw some once and tell me that we will need to go in there to get them. I got her a froggy costume. I haven't quite decided for Heather yet. I have a couple cute costumes (dog and ladybug) but are both too small. I was thinking of a princess to go with the frog. But I don't know. I think something a bit warmer might be better. Hannah insists Heather should be the kitty cat she was last year. That would work too. Heather is cute. I ask her, would she like to be a princess (or a ladybug)? She just shakes her head no. Then ask would you like to be a kitty cat? She says Meow, and shakes her head no. So far no help from her. I am sure she'll wear whatever I get her. LOL
