Birthday Fun

I let Ruby and Cora buy each other birthday gifts from the dollar store. These dolls are what they got. Let's just say they know each other very well. I took Ruby shopping first. She kept looking at the purple mermaid doll before finally picking the other doll for Cora. When I took Cora she went straight for the mermaid dolls, picked up a red one, then put it back and got the purple. I didn't tell her anything.

Are you hungry?

 There's even dessert:

Happy Belated Halloween!

P.S. Note the sprinkles on Lil's costume. Those are mike&ike candies, hot glued on. Eda just knew they were candy. She tried at first to pull them off. That didn't work. Then she went straight in with her teeth. Much more effective. I don't know if she ate any glue before we caught on, but she ate into quite a few of the candies. Luckily this all happened after Halloween.

I'm not the only one...

who gets their names mixed up. I overheard this today:
Ruby, "Eda, stop!"
Cora, "I'm not Eda! I'm Ru-I'm Cora!"

Super Negotiating Skills

After a disagreement over what to play with next, I overheard this gem from Cora, "Ruby, we need to talk about it and if I don't want to I guess you don't, either."

They DO grow fast!

Can you believe they're already turning five? I'm having a hard time with it, myself.
