Trip To The Pumpkin Patch

Arcade

A local pizza place has a small arcade for the kids. We went and let the girls check it out after lunch one day and they loved it. Hannah was all about the dinosaur but Hailey (surprise, suprise!) was kicking it into the gear with the car racing games. Believe it or not she's a decent driver for a 2 year old.

Riding With Our Poppy

I'm A Slacker!

I've been slacking on my updates lately. With so many different ways to update you think I would have them flowing like water! I promise I will be getting better.

We <3 Poppy!

My Dad was coming home from a week long trip so we wrote him a message (the girls colored over some of the letters to help) that said "Mommy, Hannah & Hailey love Poppy!"

Peek-A-Boo

Our First Fish Tank

Today the girls got their very first fish tank with 6 little goldfish. They love to watch them swim around and enjoy feeding them.

Last Days of Summer

Our 1st Fort

Today we built our very first fort in the living room. The girls had so much fun running in and out of it and "hiding" from me. They even tried to take a nap in it. Ha!

We Love Horses

Snakes

The girls went with their Daddy to the Jr. Museum. He said they had a lot of fun and got to see and touch real live snakes! Hannah is a little squeemish of them but Hailey showed no fear and jumped right in.

Beautiful Girls

Today we went and had our bangs cut. Aren't we cutie pies?!?

Playing Dress Up

We're playing dress up in our hip white sunglasses and b-e-a-utiful jewelry. Hailey is sporting the necklace and Hannah is rocking the bracelets.

That's how we roll!!!

Tastes Like Chicken

Lunch time is always interesting because you never know what the girls are going to want to eat or if, day to day, their tastes have changed. While eating a yogurt Hannah asked if she would have a "chicken yogurt". That's right folks....a chicken flavored yogurt. Gross!

Flips

Hailey had been trying for some time now to figure out how to do a somersault. Well, she finally got it! Hannah watched her and is slowly getting the idea. Although she is able to go over she doesn't get enough momentum behind her to go straight.

First Night In The Big Girl Bed

This evening the girls asked if they could sleep in the big girl bed. I didn't think that even for a moment they'd actually fall asleep but I decided that it was worth a try. They laid down side by side at the head of the bed, I gave them their kisses and then turned out the light. I was shocked that I didn't hear a ton of talking and giggling like I normally do. I was expecting them to come waltzing down the hallway at any moment. About thirty minutes passed and I went to check in on them and I came to find two beautiful sleeping angels.

Hailey was a little too close to the end for my comfort so I picked her up and moved her to the foot of the bed. I just sat and watched them for a few moments in awe at how peaceful they were and how proud I was of them for falling asleep so well.

I wish I could say they slept through the night in the bed but they did not. I was not too keen on them staying all night without a bolster and was also worried about the hyjinkx they would come up with if left to their own devises if they awoke in the middle of the night. So now, my sweet angels, are tucked back peacefully into their cribs. I want them to be my big girls...but not quite yet.

We Don't Have Enough Bouncy Balls!

I don't think we have enough bouncy balls. What do you think?

My Little Pony

The girls watch only one thing on the television for two reasons. 1. Because I do not allow them to watch much tv. and 2. Because it's the only thing they'll watch! Now mind you, at their Dad's house, they will watch other things but not at home. No...that'd be must to easy and less mind warping for Mommy. They got the movie from Aunt Tes with a pony for our birthday.

Now, don't get me wrong. I love the ponies as much or probably more than your average Joe but when I have it memorized and I think I hear it when there is no television on; that's a problem! I have literally watched My Little Pony-Meet The Ponies over two hundred times in the past few months. Without ponies life would be boring and without ponies there are meltdowns across the board. I am defiantely in a love/hate relationship with My Little Pony.

"POOOOONYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!"

A Good Photo with Four Kids...Amazing!

My friend Gabby and her daughter Bella have come up to visit us. We went over to see Aunt Tes and PJ and eat dinner last night. Since we were over so late we bathed everyone. We were actually able to get all four kids on the sofa for a photo!

Hailey Loves Her Aunt Tes

Our Day With Antonio

Today I watched Aunt Becky and Uncle Ismael's son Antonio for them. Although the day started out a little rough due to him being a new place with new people it went wonderfully. He is such a joy to be around and the girls absolutely loved having him around.

Me holding Antonio with Hannah in my lap and Hailey standing.

Hannah loves babies and she couldn't get enough of him. Every time he made a noise or moved she would run to his side and make sure he was okay. She also would give me status reports and tell me when I was doing something she thought was wrong or that I should do a different way.

Allow Me To Introduce...

Hailey's stink eye. I get this look a lot lately because, unbeknownst to me, my daughter is both smarter than me and is really a teenager in toddlers clothing.
