Cousins

Trish and I happen to go grocery shopping the same day and around the same time each week.  Thus, every Wednesday when we reach Wal-mart the girls ask where Aunt Trisha and Ari are.  Usually we see them in the produce section, by the bananas.  The girls get sad if we don't see them each week.  If we don't see them in the designated meeting spot the girls then insist that I call Aunt Trisha to see where she is in Wal-mart.  They are super cute.  They seriously enjoy finding Aunt Trisha and Ari each week.  A few weeks ago was the best week ever.  Trish was late starting her grocery shopping or we were early anyways we got to play hide and seek with Ari and Trish.  We each continued our shopping trip and the girls would keep their eyes open for Aunt Trisha in hopes that we would run into them again.  Ari was playing hide and seek with me while we were both in the produce section and she would get a HUGE smile on her face every time I spotted her.  We went our separate ways and every time they would hear a squeal they would declare that it was Ari.  We ran into Ari and Trish several times that shopping trip and the girls thought it was fantastic!  I'm thinking Trish and I need to do that more often.  The girls had the most fun they have had in a long time going grocery shopping.

Trish watched the girls for me on Friday when I went into work.  When I went to pick them up, Trish was telling me about a good clothes deal at Target.  The girls and I went shopping afterwards and we saw a shirt/pants that both Ari and Halle had.  The girls were so excited that they declared they wanted a shirt just like Halle.  I bought the outfit and took it home.  Today Eve was so excited when she looked in the dresser and saw the shirt that Halle had!  She declared she had to wear it.  "Like Halle" she kept saying it over and over again.  I think it is SUPER cute that she wanted to just be like Halle.  I texted Trisha about it.  When I dropped off the girls for Trish to watch, as Ben and I went car shopping, Halle bounded down the stairs in her matching outfit, even though she had worn it the day before.  I thought it was so cute that she would wear her outfit again just so she could match with Eve. 

We sure love living close to cousins!
