April 30, Day 93

This girl LOVES q-tips...  She had a handful of them tonight and was trying to stick them in her ears.  She's very serious about having clean ears.  She gets very angry when you take them away.  I have to pry them out of her grubby little fingers.

April 29, Day 92

So BJ is at war with the dandelions...  I think he is losing!

April 28, Day 91

That's my girl!  Ava LOVES these shoes.  I think it's the shiny black bow they have on them.  Anyways, tonight she put these on (on the right foot, even!) and walked around.  It was so cute.  I can't wait to go shoe shopping with her!

April 27, Day 90

Our lilac bush is blooming and smells wonderful!  Well, I can almost smell it... I have a horrible cold.

April 26, Day 89

Tonight, my mom came over and helped me pull up ornamental grass.  It was threatning to take over the entire flower bed, so I wanted it out of there...  It was tough work - considering there was a layer of weed protector (I don't know what it is called) and the grass had attached itself to the top... nasty stuff..  Thanks mom!

April 25, Day 88

Here was tonight's entertainment...  Ava gathered all her most treasured possessions and put them in the laundry basket, along with herself.  She then read books, played with her baby, dropped BJ's keys out the side, said "uh-oh" and leaned over to pick them up again, and got in and out, over and over... what a funny girl!

April 24, Day 87

I got my first pedicure of the year tonight.  I missed you, Amy!

April 23, Day 86

I read this story at least 10 times today.  I am ready for Ava to have a new favorite, I'm thinking about hiding this one...

April 22, Day 85

Ava is a climber girl and a bit of a daredevil...  She climbed on top of her rocking horse several times and was very proud of herself...

April 21, Day 84

Usually the sight of brown bananas grosses me out and I throw them away.  Instead, I turned them into banana bread.  Ava had some and she kept grunting and pointing for more, so I'll consider it a success!

April 20, Day 83

I've been working on my resume in the hopes of finding something for next year...

April 19, Day 82

I got to play Nertz again tonight, and I won!!! For the first time in 2009!

April 18, Day 81

My least favorite thing:  BJ's cell phone...

April 17, Day 80

Ever since Ava came around, Max has been one of my least favorite things.  Sometimes I feel sorry for him, sometimes he pees on the floor.  Then I don't...

April 16, Day 79

Two things I like the least here:  repeats and that since moving back to IN, all my shows are on an hour later... if you know me, you know I like to go to bed (as Amy would say) early..  I can't help it I need 8 hours of sleep!

April 15, Day 78

Ava waking up happy from her nap is one of my favorite things.  However, Ava waking up grumpy from a too short nap is one of my least favorite things.  She refused to sleep longer than an hour...

April 14, Day 77

Running out of toilet paper is definitely one of my least favorite things...

April 13, Day 76

We are doing another theme this week.  This week is our least favorite things.  Here is one of my least favorite things - cleaning Ava off after she eats.   She always manages to make a mess, no matter what she's eating!  And it always seems to get in her hair... yuck!

April 11, Day 74

My favorite children's series.  I've read them so many times!

April 10, Day 73

I played Nertz tonight, which is my all time favorite game!  Here is a picture of Michelle, who is the biggest CHEATER of all!  Do you see that hand she has?
I didn't take this one, but I'm posting it anyways - we had a lot of fun tonight, especially watching Dave 'zoom in' with the camera!

April 9, Day 72

Ava waking up happy is one of my favorite things!  She slept the day away - 9:30 to 1:30 and then 3:30 to 5:30!  I hope she sleeps tonight!

April 8, Day 71

My favorite kind of ice cream!

April 7, Day 70

Tuesday is my favorite morning of the work week.  Why, you ask?  Because BJ meets with some high schoolers and brings me home a delicious decaf peppermint mocha (my favorite starbucks drink!)  Yum!

April 6, Day 69


This week, we decided on another theme week.  This week's theme is favorites.  Here is my favorite thing to do on a cold night - have a fire!

April 5, Day 68

Adi had her 2nd birthday party tonight.  As you can see, she was very excited for her cake!  She just couldn't wait for a fork!

April 4, Day 67

Scrub-a-dub-dub... Ava in the tub!  I'm a little disappointed with myself.  I had many photo opportunities today - BUT no camera!  I guess I need it with me at all times!

April 3, Day 66

Our neighbor gave us some plants.  Ava and I were directing Ben-j where to put them.  It was funny watching Ava, because everytime BJ would use his foot to push down the shovel, Ava would too.  Then she would mimic how he lifted up the plants to put them in the hole.  So cute.

April 2, Day 65

Ben-j made us french toast this morning for breakfast.  He also covered his in sugar, yuck!  It was crunchy - french toast should not be crunchy!

April 1, Day 64

Amy, look what Ava and I had for breakfast this morning!  Of course, we didn't eat breakfast until 10:15 - Ava was a sleepyhead!
