You know you have girls when...

We spent yesterday afternoon at Daniel's work Christmas party. Yes, I know it is May, but business is too crazy in December to have it, so they wait until the weather is nice to hold it in a park. It is always a nice time. They have barbecue, drinks, and a clown to distract the kids.

So, we get there not long after it starts and make our way to the picnic area where they have everything set up. Oh, the drama just trying to move the hundred feet there. Both Ava and Leila are wearing their cute white sandals they typically wear everyday. Only the ground there is covered in a lot of dirt that proceeds to make its way into their sandals. They both start flipping out over this insisting on removing their shoes for me to fix the issue. Only it keeps happening over and over again. Leila was particularly upset by all of this, so I spent most of my time cleaning out her shoes and calming her down.

The other drama for the day has to do with the outdoor creepy crawlies. Oh man, I have never seen kids so upset by an ant three feet away. At one point, Leila walked a few feet from where we had set up our chairs and was watching some people kick a soccer bawl around. Suddenly, she turns around with a look of horror on her face and begins to move back toward us crying. Apparently, a bug had flown up and landed on her arm. Of course, it had flown away by the time she reached us, but still....

Oh, the joys of having girls...and not just any type, girlie-girls.
