Two Girls on Tuesday

I know its not Tuesday, but just pretend.
Not much going on this week.  We got everything gathered for the girls' costumes for this upcoming weekend.  They are going to be...Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf!!!  I just couldn't resist.  It's going to be epic.  As for the girls this week?  Well..

Lydia - is watching her sister's every move as we are coming to find out.  This week she found her sister's camera, held it up to her eyes and walked around the downstairs saying "cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese" over and over again.
   She has also started "going places" like her sister.  She grabs Emma's backpack and walks to the back door saying "bye, bye, bye" over and over again.

Emma - has started saying all sorts of silly stuff.  I need to start writing them down sooner so I can remember them.  So far, the ones I do remember were
E: Mom, you play blocks with me?
Me: Sure.
E: I'm SOOO Happy!!
(Guess I need to play with her more often)

Then tonight she hit her lower back on my bed frame.  She was hysterical and when she was calm enough to talk (but still hysterical)...
E: I....show...grandma....my....bum.....
Me: You want to show grandma your bum?
E; Yeeeessss.....I.....show.....papa (grandpa).....my....bum
E:  I.....show....Davis.....my......bum.....
(Guess we need to work on what is appropriate and what is not appropriate!)

Emma also fell in love with Enchanted this past weekend.  She loves all the songs...especially when she can dance with daddy. :)



So cute!!

Two Girls on Tuesday

Ugh.  You never realize how much you depend on a computer until you don't have one.  Not a tablet, not a phone, a computer.  I've really been stuggling.  It takes me forever to find all my favorite recipes, I can't save anything in nice organized folders...or really save anything.  Ugh. Oh well.
I have figured out that I can probably have the laptop on Tuesday mornings/afternoons, so here is to hoping I can post at least once a week.
So...here is what's been going on at our house...
About 2 weeks ago we went to Wheeler Farm with our besties, The Potters.  We had fun riding a wagon, petting the animals, a hay maze, and picking out pumpkins.
 I just love Sydney.


 Why yes, she is picking the goat's nose.  I have a disgusting child.  I know.
 She couldn't make up her mind.


 Emma was very proud of her pumpkin.




Many of you have seen this next story on facebook or instagram, but I still have to put it here for posterity sake.
So 2 weeks ago when it was magically cold for one day I had the girls put their jackets on before we left home. Emma's is a hot pink almost red and Lydia's is a light blue.  Emma put hers on and immediately says "I'm Little Red Riding Hood!"  Then looked at Lydia, "and Lydia's the wolf!  Ah!  She scary me!"  So then I told her Lydia was a nice wolf and she replied with, "Lydia a nice wolf, but she scary me!"
And now, whenever we put our jackets on, we have a similar conversation.

 Lydia the scary wolf.
Little Red Riding Hood


For family night we painted our pumpkins.  
Emma had a ball. One of her favorite activities ever is painting.

 Lydia preferred to just suck on the paint brushes.




 Emma's finishes pumpkin.  She's very proud.
 Our finished pumpkin.



Please excuse Emma's HORRIBLE hair cut.  She doesn't know the meaning of "sit still" so every time I would go to cut she would jerk and so I would try and fix it and it just kept getting worse and worse until I finally gave up.  At least hair grows back right?  Ugh.
