Well.. I tried to put my picture on from yesterday, and I accidentally uploaded the same picture twice.. so.. another day. All you get is my blurry picture of True - he loves putting on shoes... he put on the ones I wore today...isn't he cute? he also knows that the magazine he's holding is baby bug. He tried to say it when we read stories tonight.

Ava was still sick yesterday, BJ ended up taking her to the doctor in the morning. Doctor just said she had a really bad cold with lots of drainage.. ugh.. I took a half day and stayed home in the afternoon. Poor girl. She slept from 1-5:30 and was back in bed at 9! She even slept all night in her own bed. I hope she's feeling back to normal today!

Since Ava took a marathon nap, True and I had some play time. It is rare that he gets this amount of time to be the star. Even when Ava was awake, she was a listless pile on the couch. True baby was dancing, running around the room sans pants, turning in circles. He was cracking himself up. So cute. He is very into trucks and tractors right now. He had this tractor and police car that he was moving around.

They went all over.

Then he found out that they move better on the kitchen floor - he laid out and was pushing them around. Then we pushed them back and forth to each other, which he thought was awesome. Sad that my Ava is sick, but thankful for some extra True baby time.

One cute little True baby (with an apple, this kid always has an apple!)

One little girl who was running a fever tonight.. can't tell by looking at her, can you? She does sound a little froggy when she talks, which is pretty cute.. Hopefully she'll wake up tomorrow feeling back to normal. She is already sad that she doesn't get to go to preschool (which is where she probably got this in the first place!).

Ava laid out her outfit for tomorrow... woah.. color pink explosion. She will not actually be wearing that outfit, but she was very excited to lay it out and get her picture taken with it. Until she was attacked by her brother.

Ava went on her field trip for preschool today. They went to the apple orchard (ugh, not the right one!). I was a little sad not to go, but decided to save my days off for a class party. True was excited to get an apple out of her bag... He tried his hardest to eat it - look at all those teeth marks!

Going in for the kill...

BJ had to help with a funeral for a 15 year old girl that went to our town's high school. What a tough day for a family. So, I hugged my babies a little tighter tonight.

p.s. Renee' - show this picture to Eli.. 2 babies sucking their thumbs! tell him to join the party.

My new computer! I got a new MacBook Pro... my old computer was dying a very slow, painful death. So I sold my Nook, saved my money, and got a new one! I'm very happy!

Emily has much better pictures of the girls and True (no surprise there). But this picture just made me laugh. They are both looking down. Don't know why. Funny. I'm very glad that we get to see these friends every so often... Looking forward to a Springfield visit sooner rather than later, I hope!

We got out this inflatable horse that had been hiding under True's bed till he was big enough to handle it. It was quite the favorite toy of the night... Ava wouldn't do anything that required her to get off it for fear True-baby would nab it away.

True-baby enjoyed it quite a bit (sans pants).

Two cuties off on an adventure.. okay, not really. But they did walk to the bush and back... and aside from one little accident on Sunday night, Ava has been dry since last Tuesday. She still wakes up wet every morning, but I'll take the dry days! She got up tonight and told me she had to go potty... maybe she'll start having dry nights sometime in the near future! I can dream :)

True baby didn't want to wake up for lunch! That little stink-pot!

This was my picture from yesterday. I completely forgot to post it. That is occurring more often lately. Anyways, they were playing and laughing and having a good time together. It is fun to watch them.

Here's my Ava girl on her first day of preschool! Woo! As soon as we stepped foot outside it started misting.. so the pictures are not the best quality.

Another all Ava pose!

Ahhh... thank you Labor Day for an extra day to spend at home with my babies! I ended up going to Walmart twice... ugh! I don't even like to go to Walmart once in a day, let alone twice.. but that's the way it went. On the second trip we got this nightlight for Ava-Bean. She picked it out because it had princesses. She told us now she won't be scared of the dark. We'll see if it keeps her from joining our bedroom in the middle of the night!

On Saturday, we got some pears at the orchard. True baby ate it up! All he left was the stem and little bit connected to it.

Ava got to have a sucker because she did a good job when we were at the grocery (this included telling me as we approached the checkout with a full cart that she needed to go poopy... so we quick paid for the groceries and then bee lined it to the restroom... sigh.. it is no fun grocery shopping as the only adult with two little kids) . We made it in time and had success. Now if only I could tell you she stayed dry the rest of the day. She did not.

True baby is starting to be more interested in books.. He did the ole 'give her a book and back up into her lap' routine. I love that... when they just back up into your lap and plop down, ready to be read too!

He lounged on the couch with his book making the appropriate, "I'm reading this mommy, pay attention."

We got to see Renee' and family this weekend, which is always fun.. even though Ava and Teagan had about 30 seconds of interaction which ended up with a car thrown at a face.. sigh.. one day they will love each other!

Ava also got to go a last minute s'more party.. even though she did not get a s'more.. she is super excited to spend the night over at Eden and Adi's.. Uncle Brad, we got her packed up with some extra underoos and she'll be there in 10..
