Too much going on
Sorry I've been a bad blogger lately -- we've had too much going on and the girls are keeping me busy, even in the late evening when both of them want to fight sleep simultaneously. I'm not having a very fun life, so what's there to blog about, really?
I do have a few pictures to share from the last week, but I've actually been a bad photographer lately too. Hopefully things will slow down and I'll be able to waste hour upon hour typing about nothing interesting again and photographing every little unimportant detail of my (usually) mundane life. It's amazing that I get so many hits to my blog everyday. I thought mommy blogs were boring?
Last weekend we spent a few hours trying to teach Avery to ride her tricycle:
She was more interested in the spikey balls that Jed was picking up that had fallen from our trees, however, and started a campaign to haul them all out of the yard.
She walked back and forth collecting spikey balls one at a time and putting them in the little 'trunk' on her tricycle. It never occured to her to either a) collect more at once, or b) move the tricycle closer. We're working on those problem solving skills. Jed was just grateful that his dream to have children to teach to do yardwork was finally coming to fruition.
Later in the week, Avery wanted to play dress up, and fortunately Ainsley was a willing spectator, but she mostly looked puzzled at the whole ordeal. First we started with just the dress up clothes, which we don't have too many of, and then we added some other silly articles of clothing for an all over "weird" look. Avery was totally content to strut her stuff for her sister.
A few nights ago we actually got to get out of the house to celebrate a friend's birthday at Buca di Beppo. It became apparent to me why I'm having trouble dropping this baby weight after a friend sent me her pictures. I should probably work on that.
That's about all I can share. Oh, and it was 80 degrees at my house yesterday. Yes, January 8th. I guess Al Gore was right. And he created the internet. Whatta guy.

First of all, I'm probably 80 of your hits each day. I get bored when Grace is napping and instead of doing housework or napping myself I check your blog. So, your not that popular--it's just me. ;)
Next, very cute pics. Avery struttin' her stuff on the pool table, urrr, catwalk is adorable. Rob would KILL me if I put anything on his precious pool table (that gets played maybe 2 times a year--great investment). Shhh...don't tell him, but I use it as a backdrop when I'm taking pics of stuff to sell on ebay.
Finally, you look great! Eat all the damn cake you want. Oh and it's supposed to be in the 70s in Texas tomorrow, but a chance of snow on Sunday? WTF?

ok, so judging by your ankles, you are not fat, not even chubby, so shut up, and let those that ARE chubby, like mysself, do the moaning :) oh, and you are not big in the cake picture either.
I cant believe you are getting over 100 hits a day, I am lucky if I get 10!!!!!
But on a serious note, I know how busy it can get with 2 girls, so dont worry, the rush and all will go away.

You work it, Avery! You look fabulous! I think the purple gloves really make the outfit.(Ainsley does look a little perplexed.)

You look awesome Allie, not big at all.
Avery is so cute, I don't ever think to have Maygan play dressup. She doesnt even have dress up stuff. Ainsley does look a bit in awe. LOL So cute.
What I'd give for an 80 degree day. It's currently 1 degree here. Woo hoo lol
