Election Day 2012

This year on Election day, I thought I would be smart and vote while Addi was in school. Little did I know that drama would ensue shortly after she got home when she realized that sister went with me to vote and she didn't get to come. I am putting it in writing right now for all of you to witness. Addi is coming with me in 2016 to vote for the next POTUS.

Anyway, our voting center is right next to a park. We couldn't rightly just walk by the park without stopping and playing for a bit. Paige is in this new phase where she has started to playing pretends. My favorite thing that day was when she would get up to the top on the other side of the rockwall and pretened that she was a princess in need of being saved. I love this girl so much!

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday to the smartest, kindest, most loving, friendliest, beautiful, adorable, precocious, well mannered, fun, clever, sweetest little 5 that old! I am so glad that you are MY princess!!!

Who's Excited?

Addi had a little bit of a tummy ache, so she decided she needed a warm tubby to help make her feel better. Apparently, Paige felt that she needed a tubby as well!

Boxes!!!

I am still scratching my head at my own silliness. I don't know why I buy my children toys, when they clearly would rather play with the box they came in. These little boxes have kept these little girls occupied for many, many, hours. My brilliant idea is when Christmas time rolls around. Santa will bring Mommy gifts and the girls will get the boxes.  I see this as a win-win situation. What do you, my dear readers think? Will the little munchkins fall for that?

Don't you just love this little stinker? She wants to be just like her big sister. Whatever big sister can do, she thinks she can too!

 I thought Addi did a fantastic job decorating her box. She made sure to include her family, some friends, and of course, her Papa's sailboat. 

There is even a scene on one of her flaps that has Randy and I going out on a date in our church clothes. Where are we going you ask? To Chili's Bar and Grill via a waiting taxi. (??? - it's her imagination!)

Bathtime fun!

As I was putting dirty clothes in the laundry, I hear "Mom! Mom! Mom! You gotta see this!" from the bathroom. Apparently Addison was doing Paige's hair.

I love that these girls love each other!
