2 Girls and a worm...

This past weekend it was so nice and sunny outside.  D was digging a "tunnel" in the yard and was bound and determined that it was going to end up on the other side of the privacy fence so he could spy on the neighbors.  Well, I guess the digging looked fun, because the girls decided to join in.  Everyone was having a fun time playing in the dirt.  I had to open my mouth and say "Hey, there's a worm!"  This was not a small worm, he was about 5 inches long.  So the girls got antiquated with "him" and put him in a cup.  They were holding him and showing him their sidewalk chalk, brought him in the house and he saw it all.  They wanted to give him a bath, so I had to explain that he is an "earth" worm, not a "water" worm.  He likes the dirt and that is how he lives. 

Fast forward 2 hours... I was not feeling well... (I had the stomach bug that has been going around) and started to get sick.  In between instances, I was sitting on the couch and could see into their bathroom that A was holding the cup the worm was in and was filling it with water.  I asked M, "Where's the worm?"  The response was, " We put him to bed."  (thinking that they put him back in the yard, I said OK and sat with my eyes closed and tried not to be sick again)  Then I asked, "Where'd you put him to bed at?"  M shows me that he is lying on the pillow of the bed nicely covered with their baby blanket.  "Ssshhh Mom, he's taking a nap!"  The worm was in the bed, stretched out on the pillow, covered with the blanket taking a nap! 

I love it that they have an imagination and I love it that both girls are interested in all kinds of animals and insects.  They used to be scared of spiders and flies and worms... now, they like to "baby" them and play with such things.  It is fun to watch them grow and to have stories like this to tell on them!  :)

Sharing Old Photos...

I cleaned my pictures out of my phone so I'd have room to take more...

These are just some of what was on there.

 Last summer on a very hot day!!

A and her makeup!

For Christmas, the girls got makeup from Santa.  They are constantly wanting to put it on, so when I say "Yes", I have to be sure that we aren't going anywhere for a little while.  Every color is used and when they do each other's, it can look like they should be working under the Big Top.

This day, A was putting her make up on all by herself.... and well, you can see for yourself. :)

She was really into pink that day.

So pretty!

Some days she likes to use blue and that gets hard to clean off.

I don't have any pictures, but the girls also like to paint their nails.  So, I put a towel down on the floor and tell them to have at it.  I have about 20 polish colors and they are usually occupied for 30 minutes or so.  They paint one hand one color and the other another.  They stripe and glitter and take off and redo.  I like having them enjoy girl time and do girly things.

Having fun and being "So Pretty"!!

Losing Teeth...

M was so excited to lose her first tooth back in October.  She actually pulled it herself!!  Then she lost her second tooth in January, so about everyother day, she is saying that one of her other teeth is loose.  A has asked several times, "When I'm M's age, I'm gonna have a loose tooth and pull it too.  OK?"  These girls keep me busy...

 First Tooth Gone

Second Tooth Gone

Just waiting on the 3rd...

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday Marcus!  We love you!!! 

Today is my husband's birthday.  He is 29!  Last year to be in your twenties babe... but I'd have to say from experience, my 30th birthday was much, much harder for me to overcome.  Now that I've past that point, I don't think I'll have a problem again untl 40!  : )

We hope you have a fun filled day and a GREAT 29th year!!  Love C, A, M and D

I'm Back!!!

I've started a new blog... stay tuned for updates.  I'm going to have to remember how to do this!

Hope everyone is having a great 2011!!!
