Helping Daddy

Eda took it upon herself to draw on all the drywall scraps. She worked on it quite intently. When I looked at what she was doing I found she'd been writing names.

If you can't read it, it says: Eda, Ruby, Ruby, Cora, Lil, Daddy, Daddy, Me, Addie, Adei, Scott, Me, Meg
The duplicates are because she messed up and tried again. Both of the ones that say Me are the start of Meg. I think it's funny she writes Daddy for Ray and Meg for me.

It only took me two months..

to actually take some pictures of Lil's baby. She is a cutie! The girls are funny with her, especially Eda. She really doesn't know what to do with a baby that can't talk or go anywhere.

Pretty Hair

For their birthday Cora and Ruby got a plethora of hair supplies. The next day Cora decided to use them all in her hair at once. Quite creative, and I thought she did a pretty good job. But taking it out was not so much fun.

She really gets into her work.

Birthday "party"

For Ruby and Cora's birthday we were going to have our annual birthday playdate with friends, as usual. But between friends being out of town and two other kids from Ruby's class having parties the same day it was a little hard to find anyone who could come. Then another option presented itself: visit cousins instead. Ruby and Cora had been planning on the playdate for so long I wasn't sure how the suggestion would go over. I didn't need to worry. They didn't even hesitate, going to their cousins' house definitely topped a playdate at home. So we went. And took cupcakes, to make it officially a birthday party. They had lots of fun and I didn't even have to clean my house first. A win for everyone. :)
