Playing together

Times like these makes me think that it really pays off to have kids close together in age. Sarah and Mary are getting better and better at playing together. It makes it so much fun for me as I watch their friendship develop. actually Sarah takes very good care of both her sisters. One time we were at a play group meeting at McDonald's and there were some kids there that were kind of bullying Mary. They hadn't physically touched her yet but I was keeping a close eye on them because I knew it was going to happen. Well, the moment had come and I saw that this kid was charging and about to get Mary. Then out of nowhere Sarah tackles him!! He was a bigger, older kid and she took him out! Then she puts her arm around him and sternly adds, "You be nice to my sister, you say your sorry". Yes it was a very proud moment for me.

In this last picture they had been outside painting on paper I might add and they came in to show me how they had put on makeup and painted their nails. They looked like goth children when we went out later cause I couldn't quite get the paint off so their lips and nails were dark blue. hahaha
