when pappa is away, the girls will play

thomas has been working all kinds of crazy long hours, including nights and weekends.  we miss him terribly, but do not let it spoil our fun.  so when monica called up and said their pipes were clogged.  we happily opened our bathing services to them.  though we got lovely company in return.  the girls had a great time together.  since thomas and i have been working so much, we have not had time to meet up so it was a fun surprise.  the girls of course hit the field for flowers...

 then we made dinner, zoe and maya made the salad all by themselves, and it was really delicious.  they were pretty proud of themselves, as well they should have been, yums!

 it worked out pretty good for me as well, as i had a fotoshoot that evening, and they watched the girls for me.  luckily it was timed just right and we missed the rain, the pics are on my foto blog.
 and i could not help but put this one in,  anya took full advantage of the bathtub and accessories.  cracks me up. thanks family österström for all the fun!
