Big Girls Don't Cry

• "Big girls don't cry" is now Lilly's favorite song. She sings it when she wakes up, in the car and pretty much whenever.
• They went to vacation bible school last week and have been since stuck on some new songs


• Boston was so much fun with Kirk. We toured around for 7 hrs both days we were there and hit up a Red Sox/Yankees game. It was a blast and demand that everyone put that on your "must do before you die list".


• Logan has decided that ladybugs carry cookies on their back. What else would the spots on their backs be?
• Here is a great difference between Logan and Lilly : going to the car wash. Logan was so excited to get the car washed and thought it was so neat. Lilly sat in her carseat gripping the sides saying "all done, all done!". She was so freaked out! Logan asked when we could do it again! So funny....

Mom and Dad time

• Kirk and I are headed to Boston for a few days. We are so excited to sleep in and spend some fun time touring and going to a Red Sox/Yankees game (thank you Hunter!).


• The girls have enjoyed going to the pool regularly. Here are a few pics of them in their watermelon bathing suits. One day Logan thought it was appropriate to wear boots and socks to the pool.
  
• Logan loves getting dressed by herself lately. Of course, she has some difficulty putting all the pieces together correctly and matching. We had a hard time heading to the park today because of her insistence that what she was wearing was too "itchy" or didn't match. She got undressed several times. Wow...teenage years with two girls may be interesting.....


• We went over to "Oma and Opa's" the other night (Grandma and Grandpa in German). Logan loved catching her first firefly and playing with the ski ball machine. She also planted and water some seeds in Oma's garden.

Deep thoughts from the Johnson Girlies

• "Stop talking on the phone and drive mommy"


• "Daddies panties!" (after helping unload the dryer)


• 6am: "I want to play with Uncle Hunter"! (instead of dragging him out of bed....we decided to put together the puzzle he gave Logan for her bday)
• "I don't like it when you tell me no Mommy" says Logan


• Hugs and kisses REQUIRED before Kirk leaves for work (or major melt down ensues)


• Lilly asks "why" when you tell her something (what one and a half year old says that?). When you explain to her "why", she says "ohh....okay".
• They call the grocery store "cookie" (because they get a free one) and Chick-fil-A "chickie"


• Lilly tells her own "knock, knock" jokes. "Knock, Knock". Who's there? "Daddy". "Daddy who?" (Pause)......"Knock, Knock". Who's there? "Daddy"......etc. Logan gets so frustrated because she keeps asking who's there and gets the same answer. Finally she gives up and tells Lilly to stop saying the joke.

Road Trip!

I(Becca) took Lilly and Logan to visit a dear friend Amber Porter and her 3 kiddos in NC the other day. It was a little over 7.5hrs from here. The girls did so awesome. There were a few moments of annoyance since Lilly has butterfingers and drops everything in the car and then yells..."I want it" or "Give it back!". It's not so safe trying to drive on the interstate and pick things up in the seat behind you and give it back all without turning around. At any rate-we arrived safely and it was soooo good to see our friends! 5,4,3,2, and 1 yr olds together in one house with two chatty friends. It was a great time. Logan slept in the same bed as Ella and Ava (right in between so she wouldn't fall out). Ella was looking out for her. I think on Wed and Thur they didn't go to bed until 11pm (put in bed at 8pm). Oh well- we had good convo, coffee and pie so what did we care?! We went to my new favorite store IKEA :-) Here is a pic of all of us loaded in the car and driving there and then the picture on the way back. Only Ella made it back to the house awake.
I was so proud of my little road trip buddies and am looking forward to taking them to Illinois sometime this summer to visit the fam.
