The Children's Museum

We went to the Children's Museum a while back and I'm just now getting these pictures up.


Ella didn't care much for shopping.
A determined little shopper.
Kate cleaned out the produce section.
Watch out Jim-you may have some competition.


Why is Kate so happy??
Because she has the beverage of champions-sweet tea!! A girl after my own heart!

Kate with all her accessories-sheep {of course}, two bracelets, and a new headband.

Mommy's Little Shoe Fiends


These girls LOVE to try clothes and shoes on, especially Ella. We were going through shoes to see which ones we could wear this fall and the girls were in heaven!

Two of a Kind



There Was a Little Girl With a Little Curl.......

Oh, how I love these curls on my baby girl!! She just has oodles of ringlets that I just love to run my fingers through. I have a feeling though that these same curls are gonna cause quite the drama in the teenage years. I can just see it now-Ella wanting Kate's straight hair and Kate wanting Ella's curly hair.

We needed to be out of the house yesterday while the maid was there, so the kids and I went to the germ pit that is McDonald's playland. I don't usually like to take them somewhere like that by myself because I like to have an extra set of hands in case all hell breaks loose, as it has before. But, everybody was on their best behavior. And after a little bit of playing and a gallon of hand sanitizer later, we were on our way home.

Kate and the Sparkly Shoes

Kate has started to have quite the opinion on what she wears. Today we were trying on shoes that Murry Catherine gave us and Kate fell in love with this pair. There was no going to bed without them.

Sweet Sisters

This is how I found the girls when we stopped at the grocery store. Aren't they sweet? Well, I guess it would be sweeter if Kate wasn't picking her nose.


The Flying Nun




Potty Time??

Don't think they're quite ready but they love playing with the potty chairs.

Jack is in Winona for a little while so it's just the girls and me. I attempted to get a good picture of the two of them but it's so hard now.


Kate signing "more" for more Elmo and giving me "the look" we're all so familiar with. Guess I wasn't moving fast enough for her.



kate and the Sock Puppet

Kate found Jack's sock puppet he had made and went nuts over it. I must have put that darn thing on her arm 1,000 times!
