So last week, I decided to send one to choir alone, and keep the other with me. I was just curious to see how they would do without their other half.
At first, this idea was not well-received. Before I could even explain it, they were both in tears. "But I don't want to be by myself! I wanna be with my sister!! I'll miss her!"
But I did it anyway.
Catherine went to choir alone last week, and Grace got to stay with me and pick something fun to do. Just the two of us.
This week, Grace went to choir alone, and Catherine and I spent time together.
Surprisingly enough, neither had a major meltdown. Or even a minor one. I think Catherine might have been a little sad last week, but they were both fine this week.
Last night, Catherine and I dropped Grace off at the church before heading out on our own. As we turned to leave the room, Grace caught up with Catherine to say goodbye. They hugged and kissed and each one told her sister that she loved her and she'd miss her.
Grace and I had a great time last week, and Catherine and I had a blast this week. They both told me how much fun they had alone with me.
But as much fun as we had together, they were delighted to see each other again once our time was up. And the whole way home, they talked like they'd been apart for days!
And what did each of them choose to do with Mommy? With endless possibilities, they both chose...Target. I guess the apple really doesn't fall far from the tree!

Aww, that makes my heart melt. Such sweet girls!!!
So sweet. That is my choice of activity for me as well! In fact, that is what Jack and I did this morning without Natalee!
I can only imagine how strong their "twin" bond is! However, how fun for you to spend time with each one alone.
Cute picture!
They have GREAT taste in stores! Well done, Mom!
They are just beautiful!
such sweet little girls, and so cute.
My boys have done good being seperated during school but every now and then they have their moment where you would think it was longer then a couple of hours since they had seen each other.
So sweet.
Oh Leslie, they are SOOO cute! For all of our twosome's "battling" as late, they DO miss each other and "reunite" with great glee.
And Target? ALWAYS a destination! :)
Such sweet girls..and what a fun treat to have some alone time with you!
It was good to "talk" with you yesterday morning via Facebook!
Oh my gosh! That's so sweet! And it's great that you're doing the alone time with them. It's awesome that they both chose Target. And - oh my - have you seen how tall your girls are getting? When did they grow up?
