Painting and Poison Control

The girls and I had a paint party this week in preparation for Scott's Birthday....the party was over when I turned to help Jane and saw the foam end of the brush in her mouth with paint dripping down her chinny chin chin. This was a VERY controlled activity...but Jane is always on the move...and up to something! Luckily Poison Control was helpful (as always) and assured me she would be just fine....I don't think she swallowed much.

After the taste test....with a yellow hue on her tongue.

...Back to business...

Ava LOVES every minute of crafts...she was very particular about her painting.

...she is looking so grown up to me and changing very day...

Sitting Pretty

Jane has a new obsession with sitting on the potty! She doesn't go potty...but it's definitely her favorite seat in the house!

...another new favorite is having Daddy swing her in the doll carrier....

Book Nook

The girls have found a new place to read....alone! Every morning, they pile every pillow in Janie's crib...and a mound of books.....The mess is worth the silence! They LOVE it...and their Mama does too!

First Days

Ava had her last first day of Pre-School this week.

She loves Ms. Lisa and has a really sweet class!

...My big 5 year old...
