Child Play

Well, I haven't been a good blog poster recently. First and foremost because Tawna introduced me to a whole new world out there called Facebook. Amazing! Second, because when I sit down to the computer Ava comes along and knows exactly what button to push to shut the whole thing down. She turns the computer off as soon as I'm not paying attention to her.

Third, I'm a mom. We are out doing a lot of fun little kid things every day. Here are some pics of the girls at play.

We have an annual membership to the aquarium. It's not much, but it's very close to our house and ballet class. We went after ballet class last week and it was just enough for Brie and Ava. They love seeing all the fish, finding Nemo, trying to pet the sting rays, watching the sharks be fed and running around the under the sea climbing area.
Every time I'm in the kitchen, Brie wants to be on a stool "helping". Boy, does she help. She helps get everything everywhere, but it's fun to have her. We made DELICIOUS molasses ginger snap cookies and she got to roll the balls of dough in sugar.
The girlies eating peanut butter and jelly sandwhiches and LOVING them!
Our playgroup with church friends is THE BEST! The kids always have a good time playing and the moms have a great time talking. Last week we had a Safari Day. The kids made binoculars out of toilet paper rolls and then got to decorate cookies.
Ava with the two girls exactly her age. This made me realize how bald she is.Ava LOVES listening to Tawna's iPod. She keeps it in her ear listening and then puts it in her baby's ear to let her have a turn too.
Brie's friend, Daxton, came over to play on Monday. I realized it was Groundhog's day! Yeah! So we made little groundhogs and then we took them in a dark room with a flashlight to see if they saw their shadow. They did. We also watched the real groundhog in PA on the computer.
When the Groundhog's Day celebration was over, Brie decided to change into her "wedding dress" so that she and Daxton could get married. He was very excited about it. The interesting part came when they "went to bed". The layed together on the couch for a long time pretending to have gone to bed. What a wedding night huh?Today was our first day of doing a co-op preschool. It was fun and I think we'll like it. The kids made the coolest craft by sprinkling shaved crayon on paper and then ironing it. Very cool.
That's my life. Me and two little girls. And I love it.
