Ella Grace loves to draw/write/doodle ... it does not matter to her the medium. She leaves her mark (haha) on walls, dolls, books, legs/arms of both she and her sister, mirrors and anything that will accept a "mark" .....but she looks so darn cute ... love the ponytail that lasted about 1.243 seconds after this picture was snapped!!!
Look Maw ..... there's pee!!!
The girls love love love melon ... watermelon, honydew melon, cantaloupe ... you name it. The other day they ate an ENTIRE mini seedless watermelon in O.N.E. day!!! I know. Crazy!!

Gosh has it really been 15 days???

WOW ... I just realized today that I haven't posted a thing here in 15 days!!! Goodness ... it's not like we haven't been rolling in barrels of fun though (sarcasm). These girls are taking the terrible twos and running with the phenomena!!! They (mostly Ella) kick, scream, push, pull hair, etc.....FUN.AND.GAMES.
It's great fun though because they are both starting to talk ... ALOT!!! Ella is a little chatterbox ... just one more reason that she is JUST like me. I do NOT pull hair though ... I have been known to kick and scream. It really is amazing how much they each favor us. Ella is a mini me ... she looks like me when I was a child, she is left handed, she is bossy, whiny, talkative, etc...
Edie looks JUST like Jon then and now ....right handed, laid back (mostly), etc.....
They are fun ... just loads and loads of work. Good thing they are so cute!!
I know I cut her eyes off here but I still wanted to share this picture ... she is so stinking adorable when she cracks up!!
The other day Edie brought this puzzle piece to me (you can string laces through it) and said, very matter of factly ....Pish !!!! I assured her that she was correct that is a fish. Well, later as I was walking up the stairs I looked down into the fish tank and ......there it floated!!! In her mind ... fish belong in fish tanks!!!
Shopping .....
So serious ....
Our back yard is looking fantastic these days .....when the sun is out anyhow. It is very out of the norm for us to still be getting rain this late in the year!!!
These are two things that Ella carries in her purse .....at all times!!! My old cell phone and her cool Gap shades!!!
Edie ....isn't she adorable!!! They have a new love of band aids ....if they have ANY spot on their skin ....they will point and say over and over and over and OVER .....owie!!! Until I put a band aid on it. It's not uncommon for each of them to have an entire box of bandaids on them at any given time. Not really .... I do draw some lines .... but at least two per arm.
Sick little sweetie .....highest fever yet. 102.9. YIKES!!!
I'll tell you one thing I haven't been doing. Obviously!!! And that is cleaning out my pantry!!!

Fun in the sun ....but it rained today!!!

We have had a really nice streak of sunshine lately! Of course it rained today ... but we still had fun. Since Jon works every weekend night we did a little Mothers Day dinner on Thursday ... it was delicious!!! Steak, corn, asparagus and lemon cake with lemon icing!!! Who doesn't love lemon on lemon??? Ella Grace of course .... I am beginning to wonder if she is really my daughter. First cotton candy gags and now this ..... the outright refusal to eat lemon cake. The kid will eat rocks, drink water from the outside sink ... the same one she dumps dirt into to make "soup" and the same one Rubi loves to drink from ...... but she won't touch lemon cake. Oh well more for me!!!
I tried to edit this picture .....FAIL!!! It's antiqued and all .... I love those little t shirts!
Now back to the lemon cake!!! Can you tell I LOVE me some lemon cake??? Edie and Ella did help me with some stirring ......you can all just about imagine how much "help" TWO 2 year olds would be in the baking process. But we had fun ......
While the cake baked we ate our dinner outside. I bought this awesome garden bucket thing for all the yard work I really need to get started on .....well Edie, as I suspected, had other plans for it.



After reenergizing with some corn she was off to do some gardening!!!
It tasted much better than it looked!!!
