For the past week, the temperature has hovered just below 100 degrees, and we've about reached the midpoint of summer vacation. How can I tell?
Well, instead of answering the question, how about some pictures? Do you know what this is? This is my kids occupying themselves when I'm trying to get some laundry and vacuuming done, and they're set up at the coffee table with scratch paper, craft supplies and their own ingenuity.
Front view. She's hamming it up, here, but still. That was a *lot* of tape her sister used.
So here I document for posterity, the fact that Rebecca is not always the passive one who gives in to the little one. She knows Jessie dotes on her and will do nearly anything she says.
And something else to remember: Sometimes a little creativity - and a roll of tape - is a dangerous thing.
Owwww! My two are quiet upstairs at the moment - and you're making me think I need to go and check on them Right Now ...

That's hilarious!! I always know the kiddos are up to something silly when everything is super quiet.

How funny! That looks like something my two girls would end up doing. :) Too cute! Isn't funny how little sisters will always do what big sis tells them.
Love your blog!

Your girls are adorable! I love the tape fest. When mine were little and we had a very tiny bank account, Santa would leave a roll of Scotch Tape in their Christmas stockings. Many years is was their favorite present to use however they wanted.

Well, it looks like the girls are going to be all ready for their first brow wax in a few years!

I absolutely LOVE the third photo (with the tape dispenser). The looks on their faces are priceless!
