Rub A Dub Dub

Two girls in a tub
And who do you think they be?Why, Ruby and Cora, dressed all in flora,
On this blog who else would you see?

Cora's Antenna

Ray regularly tells me I should just put two little ponytails in the front of Cora's hair so she will look like a bug. This day she escaped before I could finish her hair, so I took a picture for Ray.

Mmmm, cookies

We made chocolate chip cookies this afternoon. The girls LOVE chocolate chip cookies. We gave them a few small pieces of cookie and figured that was good. Then when I went to bag the cookies they wouldn't all fit in the bag. Ray said, "You don't need to worry about extra cookies, Ruby and Cora will take care of them."

When I was making dinner I set the extra cookies on the table. The girls were playing in the kitchen. I was rushing around trying to get everything taken care of and didn't even notice when the girls left the kitchen. I also entirely forgot that I set cookies on the table, so I never noticed they were missing.

Once I had everything under control in the kitchen I realized the girls were gone and decided to check on them. I found them lounging on the stairs, eating cookies and drinking milk, happy as could be. Ray was right, they did take care of the extra cookies.

For some strange reason, they didn't eat much dinner...

Okay,

Lil is GRADUATING on May 2nd. If she was getting married wouldn't it make more sense for me to say "Congratulations, Lil and ____"?

Then again, I may have been taking advantage of the day I posted it to confuse you all. :-) Who knows?

I Have Some Red-Nosed Girlies

I have some red-nosed girlies,









They are always so silly
That if you ever saw them
You would have to just agree.










Sometimes their noses change colors
To black, yellow or green.
They always make me smile,
For us this is just the routine.

CONGRATULATIONS, LIL!!!!

When's the big day?

What do you do for fun?

We look out the window. Remember this? Well, here's a recent comparison:Note that they now lounge against the back of the couch rather than barely being able to see over it. (Random side note: I was quite struck by the difference in the amount of hair, even Ruby's.) Also, they now climb up there on their own. Then continue climbing:Looking out the window is not a pastime that is reserved for just us. Friends get to join in, too:
Always have to be on the lookout for any passing dogs (Ruby and Cora bark when they see dogs, Shalon said, "Dog, dog, dog" for quite a while) or maybe the mail lady. The girls' favorite is when Daddy drives up. They will knock on the window when they see Ray, to get his attention.
