April 29, 2012

 It turned out to be a decent afternoon... so we played outside for a while.  True likes walking on the blocks.. he also likes tromping right through the flowers.  There is a set of True sized footprints through my phlox.
 True and Ava got a soccer ball.  True really likes kicking it.. although he picks it up every time Ava gets close because he doesn't want her to get it!
 Ava enjoyed running and jumping on her swing.. until she flew over the swing.. then she was done! (and her momma was glad, a little scary seeing it in action!).  I love how True is in the background kicking away...
True is the ultimate copycat right now!

Only 17 more school days left... can you believe it?!

 Tonight Ava read a story to True.  It was so sweet.  I'm so glad that sometimes they have moments of sweetness (and that I'm there to witness it).
My favorite thing about bath night.  BJ wraps True up in a towel and he walks around like a mummy.  It's so cute...

Once again my pictures are out of order... grr..

The one pretty picture I got of Ava showing off her new Fancy Dancy (as she calls them) book...
We had Easter lunch over at my aunt and uncle's house. True found Tait's new bike... He climbed on it all by himself, then Pop-Pop got suckered into pushing him all around the yard.
True fell asleep from all the excitement about half-way home (it is about a 7 minute car ride.. boy was tired!).
I tried to get Ava and True together for an Easter picture. As you can see, Ava was not having it. I love the sequence of these pictures... First, she shows that she is irritated that she has to get her picture taken by crossing her arms and being grumpy.
Then, after I tell her to uncross her arms and smile she puts this grimace on her face. True, by now, is simultaneously sucking his thumb and picking his nose (talent).
And then he goes in for the kill. Gives Ava a big old hug. She hangs onto the grumps for a little bit longer but then he attempts to kiss her and she starts giggling... This leads to brother chasing sister around the room... At least they're becoming friends!

April 7, 2012

It has been a while! I really don't know where the time goes, but here I am. We have been busy, always busy.
These pictures got a bit out of order.. we dyed eggs today and then let the kids hunt for them (it was a redneck egg hunt. Both kids already had baths and so we just put shoes and jackets on over their jammies... so redneck, but no one else saw us!) This is Ava on the pounce...
This is what True does when he gets hold of an egg... throws it until it breaks apart. Then he is disgusted...
These are the two that he pounded together... then the shell started to fall off..
The first egg True found.
Here is Ava dying the eggs.
True watched... he wanted to get in the action, but we decided it was a bit to messy for the boy to try...
