Ava likes worms

 Ava surprised us by picking up a worm in the sandbox today.  Then she told us that their teacher brought a box of worms into their class ("W" being the letter of the week) and that she had touched one there, too.   She found several worms and Harper dug new homes for them.  They flooded the sandbox when Rielee got home.  There was a crisis when they saw a worm floating around and they all suddenly went into high gear trying to find it and save it.   By the time they were done digging through the sand and water, they were totally messy and the fingernail polish I had just applied to their nails was long gone.

After a shower and an inside break to get out of the heat for a little while, they went back outside for a tea party at the kid-sized picnic table Papa built them. 

Ava and Harper told a funny story to us today about their birth. Ava said she was born first but Harper stayed inside asleep.  Harper said she stayed inside Mommy's tummy because she was afraid of the doctor.

The girls made cards for Auna and we took them over to her.  David gave them lots of good pushes on the swing and taught them how to do "trick sticks".
