Trouble in Paradise

Lizzie and Iris have had a lot of fun together, but they are also fighting and competing a lot. Last night I had a girls night with my mom, Codi (sis-in-law), and Emily (soon to be sis-in-law). We enjoyed dinner and tax-free shopping. My brothers, Scott and Dave were in charge of the kids though it sounds like Scott took care of most of it. When Codi called him to check in he said that "all hell" was breaking loose. Turns out it was bedtime and the girls had fought over who got to do things first, things like: getting to the top of the stairs, getting out of the tub, and saying prayers. They also had issues with bedtime stories and songs. It all seemed to start yesterday afternoon when the girls fought over who got to ride on the back of Willa's stroller. Still despite their recent quarrels they seem to be enjoying each other's company overall.
Scott and I took the girls to a local bounce house for an afternoon of fun (somehow we haven't gotten out of house very early any day).
Codi and I spent an afternoon at the zoo with the girls. Favorite activities/exhibits included: carousel and train rides, bird house, aquarium, and dipping dots icecream.
