Fireworks!

Alessandra asked for fireworks when she knew Grammy and PopPop were coming...Isabella was not too happy about them this time. She got scared and had to be taken into the house away from the noise.

The girls enjoy cuddle time with Grammy and PopPop.

Caught in the Act

Alessandra loves getting into the cabinet...Yes, this cabinet is for the girls. It is the only kitchen cabinet they are allowed in. It has a few plastic dishes in for them. Their favorite activity is taking all the dishes out of the cabinet and taking turns sitting in the cabinet.

Early Christmas Present

When Grammy and PopPop came to visit, they brought a Christmas present for the girls to share (the key word is share). A kitchen to cook in. Maybe they will stay out of Mommy's way when Mommy is cooking!

A Wagon Ride

A friend came over to the house to play

and they all enjoyed a ride in the

wagon.

Dress Up Time

Alessandra, Isabella, and their friends dressed up the past few days. They dressed up on Monday for Mother's Morning Out and on Tuesday for Story Time. Alessandra enjoyed being Tinker Bell and Isabella did not care that she was Piglet as long as I did not put the hood on her head!

A Story About Isabella

Our little Isabella. She is unbelievable! Yesterday, I was showing Alessandra some snails. Alessandra was enjoying picking them up and holding them. Billy and I left the kids get wet in the rain and as they were playing, Billy looked at Isabella and noticed she was chewing on something. (Isabella puts everything in her mouth) Anyway, in her hand was a shell, yes, just a shell of a snail. So, you can guess what she was chewing on... You got it! Yes, a snail!!!! As Billy was trying to get the mush out of her mouth, he had to pound on her back because she was choking on the slime. She was still gripping the shell in her hand! She did not seem to mind the taste of the snail, but she was mad that Daddy was getting it out of her mouth!

Picture Time

Can you believe Alessandra took this picture of me? She loves using the camera, but she does not always aim right - there are plenty of pictures of the floor and random things, but she actually got me.

Frog Anyone?

Alessandra loves looking for frogs. One evening we had about 5 frogs hopping around. Alessandra loved it! She loves chasing the frogs to pick them up. The frogs did hop away once she left them go, but who knows how long they lived afterwards!


She still does not always want to give up that nukie! One day, they just might find their way into the trash can!

Trying on Hats

Alessandra and Daddy are having fun wearing hats.

Easter Carolina Agricultural Fair

We went to the fair on Saturday. Alessandra enjoyed holding the real money - not a stuffed animal! We all had lots of fun on the rides, looking at all the animals, and going to the petting zoo.

The Petting Zoo

Here is the petting zoo. They had some strange animals there that I think were untypical of a Petting Zoo, but the girls loved looking at them...so did Billy and I.
