As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, there’s a reason Chloe and Sophie are wearing the same outfits in this photo. The thing is, we still don’t know why.

Fireflies
Sophie went on a firefly collecting rampage this evening. Papa gave her a container and with the help of our 8-year old neighbor, she caught a whole bunch of them. And boy was she proud.
A Surprising Hug
Chloe and Sophie hug each other a lot when they’re not fighting. But this particular hug came as quite a shock. Sophie was upset the other evening – she had slipped and fallen on the floor. Wasn’t hurt, mind you, but she probably scared herself a little bit.
Sophie the Party Planner
Our Button Table
When I went to pick up Chloe this weekend, we did some arts & crafts together. Yes, I know, hard to believe. I think it was the influence of being with my aunt, who is very crafty. It was also the influence of being in the country. This is the kind of thing one does in the country.
Chloe, Chloe, Chloe
I drove 213 miles to reunite with Chloe in record time – less than 3 1/2 hours. And she ran out of the house to greet me. And I got a really good hug. That was about 9 hours ago. In that time, she basically didn’t shut up, and we decorated a table with buttons, played the card game Spit, went to the supermarket so she could buy some bulk candy, went to the park and ate dinner. A great day. Until a little while ago.
Sophie, Sophie, Sophie
There is no doubt that Sophie has thrived as the only child this week. She eats up the attention. Happy as a clam not having to compete with her sister to get two words in edgewise. Happy to get lots of hugs and cuddles from her mom and papa. Happy to stay up a little later than usual.
I Don’t Think Chloe Wants to Come Home
Chloe is in heaven. Every time I’ve spoken to her this week, which usually lasts no more than 3 minutes, she sounded so happy and so enthusiastic, it’s terrific.
Having Fun or What?
Well, it certainly sounds like Chloe and Sophie had a great time with my mom and aunt and uncle last week. Chloe, who’s still up there going to day camp, is having a fantastic time. Apparently, she’s been having such a great time that’s she’s taken to walking the dogs with my uncle every evening – a two mile promenade!
