Sparkle in the house

It was a rainy morning, I took Ava to school today, she had stayed home yesterday with a cold, so it was an unexpected treat to pick up a Christmas gift package she had made on Monday. A potted ivy cutting, a painted bulb and this sparkly candle that took center stage at our dinner tonight. She is so proud of her candle, wants me to light it all the time and then she belts out her version of happy birthday. The first of many Christmas gifts brought home by one if the girls! and I love it! Isla, well all the lights in the house are a magnet to wandering little legs and a growing reach.

Crayon collaboration

First combined crayon coloring collaboration between the littles. Do I have the artwork to show for it!? I don't know! I'm pretty sure this scene ended with paper thrown off the table, crayons being eaten, someone got hungry, or no wait, quick move the table! The Christmas tree we won is here and going in that spot!!

Molly's birthday party!

We love a birthday party!! Especially one with a princess bounce house. That seems to be the standard these days for our sweet little gals. It was just Ava and I for the party and I had the best time with her, she bounced and waved to me, we ate morning donuts together, she played dress up and I was able to help her make her fruit loop necklace. Party on!! Yay for little girls birthday parties, Happy 3rd Birthday Molly Joy.

Whoa there's a princess in my kitchen

She's a princess of many stools, she stashes her stools all over the kitchen and whips them out at a moments notice, she likes to mix, stir and poke her finger into the batter, yummy! she sings. Waffles were on the princess menu this particular morning, with raspberries, one on each finger, is how she likes to eat them!!

A trip to the garden

Our little world has been so out of whack for the last couple of months, and we hadn't been to the botanical garden in a looooong time, grand parents left early this morning and I felt like I needed a little outing, just me and the girls! We could have played in the bamboo the entire time! They both loved the BLACK dirt that laid below the bamboo leaves, we had 20 little dirty finger nails to prove it! Ava loved shaking one bamboo stick against the others to make knocking sounds and hear the leaves rustle. She also had to get her daily climb in, so we headed to the tree house. Successful climb and great outing! We need to be hanging out there more for sure.

This little turkey, ate turkey today

She pawed at turkey and Cheerios, while big sister napped through thanksgiving dinner! Oh well, we are thankful for nap time in this house.
Happy thanksgiving!
