The Melting Pot

The girls and I went to Dallas a few weeks ago. To celebrate Mum's retirement, we went out for fondue. It was a yummy 4 course 3 hour meal with no little kids!

One of our dessert pots...

Spring Pictures

The girls and I were part of a Mother/Daughter picture project for one of our babysitter's school photography project. It was lots of fun!

Ava's Program

Ava's Pre-School program was last Thursday. We are nearing the end of pre-school and it has been a sweet time in Ava's life.

...Singing and having fun with her class... ...more songs and motions...

Kindergarten.....We're coming your way...and we're excited!

Dentist Drama

Ava and Jane's big trip to the dentist finally arrived this week. It was all and more Ava hoped for! Not so much for Jane. Grammy came with us to help out. While we waited...

...the girls played in the theater...

...checked out the fish...

...played tic-tac-toe...

...Then came Jane's turn to get her x-rays...

Oh boy! She was not having anything to do with it. She wiggled and called the hygienist "mean" and "scary." So...no x-rays for her...none.

This cute sign welcomed the girls to their spot for cleaning...

First up was Ava...she savored every minute and didn't want to get up from the bench.

Jane made it on the bench with her sunglasses and that was the end of her visit. No pictures of the drama because I was holding her down so the dentist could at least pry open her mouth to make sure things were okay...and they were. She told the dentist "I am too big for this and you are scary."

The girls got their coins and traded them in for a prize. Just as we got in the car Jane said she loved the dentist. Ava said she wants to be a dentist when she grows up....Jane wants to be Elmo. Perfect.

We went for ice-cream to celebrate no cavities. :)

I think it's safe to say Jane won't be making a countdown chain when her reminder comes in the mail this Fall. :)

Tea for Two

We had a quick tea party before heading home yesterday...

...Grammy serving Ava... ...Scott serving Jane... ...Every tea party needs oreos...double stuffed is the only way to go!

...savoring every last sip...

Hide and Seek

We spent the weekend at the lake....The girls found lots of hiding spots for hide and seek...

Where's Jane? No hints here... Where's Ava?

Dessert

We went out for ice-cream last week. The girls loved every last drop. ...Yum...
