Week 213 and Week 125.5 - National Day and Liam's birthday

CS and Erica were in town and we went to eat dim sum with them on the holiday.  We then of course took pictures with the characters and I took the girls to the Venetian for the first time (we usually just stroll through the shops on the way to a dim sum restaurant).  The girls had a great time throwing coins into the canals.  A great rainy day activity.

Later in the day we met Yaya and went to a barbeque in a beautiful park by the China border.  The girls ran around in their dresses and then played in probably the nicest playground I have seen in Macau.  It was fun.

Last week we went to a new friend Liam's first birthday party.  He is quite a strapping and sturdy young man, this Liam.  On his birthday he had his first sweet - a chocolate cupcake.  Kudos to Ardyth for not giving sweets for one whole year!

It has been a busy work week for me and the last 2 days there has been torrential rain.  Rain so heavy that they cancelled school today (and I went jogging in it this morning).  Not sure what the girls are up to today (so rainy it is hard to even leave the house) but I am sure it will involve making cupcakes.

A funny thing happened recently - Sophia is in a parroting mood these days - and Charlotte was being naughty at dinner and I was threatening the ominous timeout.  So Sophia starts to also threaten the ominous timeout - and Charlotte gets bent out of shape.  I ask her what is wrong.  She says that Sophia is giving her a timeout.  And I tell her Sophia cannot give you a timeout - she is your baby sister.  Just tell her to hush.  But it is funny like that - Charlotte will let her baby sister put her in timeout.  You think Char would be the bossy one but it is actually the reverse.

I know -we have 100 versions of these photos:
