Rainy Days

Our table is always a big mess of colors, scissors, paper, and tape. Adie is singing along to The Little Mermaid soundtrack here.




They spent a few days decorating and then protecting their kitchen. This was before all of their polly pocket dresses were organized on top by color. I made the mistake one day of picking one up and setting it on the kitchen - without realizing there was a system. You can't really see all of the necklaces and tiaras they have taped up on the top...only beautiful stuff according to them




so I spent a fair amount of time distracting Ashlynn so she didn't destroy the decorations







They still get excited to go to Gilbert House even though we've been going for two years





They all love the new vet clinic and get into character when they're playing in there "ok so you call and say Oh No, my cat is sick please help me right away"




Eliza is showing me where my cat has a sliver




















Today they were laughing and talking and in the van I can't hear what they are saying back there. When I asked what was so funny one of them said, "Oh, we were just talking about what if we were ALL pink, like pink hair, and pink faces and even pink eyes? Wouldn't that be cool?"

Anyone who knew me as a child might find the humor in this, since it is so opposite of the way I remember being

Ashlynn at work

Cousins

We've been enjoying our last week with the Sierra-Nisly's before they head back to Guatemala. It's going to be a sad good bye - these girls have a blast together. There was a lot of playing with Polli Pockets

Making trains and boats




warming up after a bath


Slumber party - one of the girls came to me "you've gotta come see this and take a picture, it's so funny"









playing outsided



































Chuck E Cheese













We noticed Eliza has a pretty good follow through

Ashlynn

She likes dressing herself these days



and she doesn't like me putting anything in her hair









I was laughing pretty hard taking these pictures - she would go pose then say "see it" and come look at the picture, then go back and do a different pose
