Test

 
Just checking to see if I can post again

 

Because I couldn't bring myself to post....

 
a picture of my poor sweet Andi! She has had a bad two days! She had a 24 hour stomach bug (and parental sleep deprivation test), then she had a major head bonk tonight. Oy! I just couldn't take a picture because she is so cute and sad. I can't tell what in the world happened to her ear, but she keeps touching it and she let me put neosporin on it. Maybe I will be able to look at it tomorrow when all swelling has decreased.
In other news, Tenna is a dressglut right now. She must be wearing a dress at all times. Tonight she was resisting bed so around 9:30 I go in and she is naked and wants to put on a dress. I finally get her to compromise and wear a dress OVER her pajamas. My kids!

Fun with whipped cream

 
Well Grandma Miller came over and brought us a half gallon of whipping cream so, of course, it was time or crepes! The girls ate some of the savory crepes, but when the dessert crepes came out all they wanted was the cream and strawberries!

Princess lessons

 
 
 

Tenna was teaching Andi how to curtsie. It's hard work, Andi lost interest though.

Shinanegens

 

After dancing the girls decided it would be fun to have a game of chase. Andi would follow Tenna around calling "wait princess." It reminds me of earlier this week when Tenna and Al were playing chase. She couldn't quite catch him so in exasperation she yells "I have tiny legs!"

Tired princess

 

Something Tenna is working on...

I shall only say that blueberry throw up is not beautiful, but it is a good thing my kids will do anything to get every last bit out of their bowls. Tenna was preparing for a role in a new movie as....



























The Joker! Creepy huh?
 

Random stuff

 
 
 

Zoo time and WWF toddler style. It has been a fun week, can you tell? The girls new thing is to strip Andi's crib down (even remove the memory foam, yes our kids are spoiled)and use it as a trampoline/ultimate fighting ring. Ahhh I love youth!

A few things I love about summer...

 
 

Mischief and Nasty faces

 

This week has been one to remind me that Andi really is a toddler and is turning two very soon. She has become so much more mischevious. She also kills me with the faces she pulls. For such a cute kid she can pull a major raunch mug.

 

Maybe three year olds aren't all that bad...

I know that I have sometimes complained that Three is a much harder age than Two was, well this conversation made me think twice...

Andi: Mama, I scared, monsters! Monsters!
Tenna: It's ok, don't be scared, Jesus is here. You're safe, Jesus is here.

Tenna repeated this mantra for a few minutes and calmed Andi down without my intervention. I later heard her singing to Andi when she began to fuss again. I think those are the moment that mothers are given to show them that some of the good things we do really do sink in, and they know that they are loved.

The Hat

 

Yesm Andi really does love to accesorize herself. I made this hat a year ago for Sarah-B, but I don't think she will ever be able to have it. Andi wears it out at least once a week. She just makes me giggle, who knew I would have such a girly girl!

Beautiful healthy girls

 
I am so grateful for my strong healthy girls. They love playing in the sunshine! I am also grateful that I am strong and healthy enough to keep up with them (as much as anyone can with toddlers that is). That said...I want to direct everyone to the top link on the sidebar. Albert and I have signed up to ride the MS150 in Logan, and we need sponsors to help us get there. I hate to be pushy, so I don't want to send out mass e-mails, but if you are inclined to help please do. It is for a great cause, and it's tax deductable!
