Daddy had some friends from camp over tonight. They didn't arrive until after 9 PM, and the girls were very tired beforehand. They wanted so badly to stay up and meet everyone (and undoubtedly to perform and show off their nutcrackers and watches), but alas, both of them fell asleep about 10 minutes before everyone got here. They will be very disappointed tomorrow to wake up only to Mommy and Daddy. I guarantee M will ask, "Are the friends still here?"

Tonight we did a lot of Peel and Stick. M loves it and can do it for hours on end. ("Mommy, do you like how patient I am being?") A has less patience for it and usually moves on to other things, like hiding inside the fort I made her using a blanket and three chairs. ("Mommy, where do you think I am? Don't guess the fort.")

Here is Peel and Stick:
