all together everyone...awwwww

mom had a bad cold, dad took the girls to the zoo

I think they had a great time, I seemed to have caught a short but hard hitting cold or flu starting on Friday and it killed my whole weekend. Scott was so sweet and took the girls to the zoo on Sunday so I could rest and get some sleep. They are SO loud that you can't really sleep when they are home. It was a beautiful warm day as you can tell, I think they had a great time except the petting zoo was closed for a special event.

artwork...on the floor!

too bad they didn't have washable crayons when we were kids--having kids now is so forgiving sometimes!

honestly, it's so nice to not have to worry about stuff like this, I can give them crayons and do the dishes or make dinner, then just clean up with a paper towel! yipee!

baby. BAAAABBBBYYYYY

It's so cute that we can't even get mad over the whining. The girls suddenly LOVE their babies. especially Tilly, she LOVES baby. yesterday in the car she dropped baby and I had to pull over go fish baby off the floor because she just cries and cries for BAABBBYYY. In the meantime, Scott has taught the girls to say baby A and baby B, and they understand who is A and who is B. We are waiting for yet to be named babies to become baby A and baby B. Now, back to the babies--the babies get diapered. The babies get put to bed. The babies get fed. The babies get their eyelashes pulled out too, and they get wild, wild rides in the stroller too.

Halloween 2008

Let me start by walking down memory lane with a picture of the girls in Oct. 2007.

And here are the little ladies out and about on Belvedere Lane on Friday night. What cute little bugs they made, and they weren't afraid to go up and ask for a treat--after some initial help from mom and dad. Poppy especially really liked getting something put into her pail, which daddy bought for them because mama forgot! And yes, they got to eat some of their candy--I couldn't resist!
