YUM YUM

Yesterday at Darcy's 4 month appointment, the pediatrician said we should start giving her rice cereal. All I can say is,"SHE LOVES IT!!!"

Pirate Treasure Hunt



This week for family night I thought it would be fun to go on a treasure hunt around the house (thanks for thre idea Rachel). Since Ava can't read a map, I thought I would do a photo hunt. I went around the house and took pictures of things she would recognize: refrigerator, fireplace, dishwasher, etc. We started at the refrigerator, inside was a picture of her toy chest. We headed to the toy chest and inside was a picture of Darcy's dresser . We went to about 12 different places in the house that ultimately ended at the refrigerator where her treasure was, a big bowl of ice cream:) We also ate a hearty pirate dinner of....pizza and hot dogs! Atleast we ate them on pirate themed plates and drank out of pirate cups:)

Ava loved the Pirate hat until the elastic strap snapped her face


Darcy slept through most of it. I managed to get a picture of her smiling but this was actually taken the next morning with the flash off . Ava loved the hunt so I saved the pictures for something to do on a rainy day.

A Halloween recap


I know is is very late, but I guess it is better than not posting anything. We had a fun, yet busy Halloween. Ava was Snow White and Darcy was a flower fairy. I have very few pictures because I forgot to charge the battery in my camera. I just have to say for the record, "I hate my camera". Okay, I will move on.
After taking the girls to my parents, we stopped by Sonic to enjoy 50 cent corndogs and grape slushies (my favorite). Then it was off to Trunk or Treat. Ava got loads of candy and was able to make a really cute necklace. We then stopped by one of our Pastor's house who barbeques hamburgers and hot dogs in the front yard and passes them out to Trick or Treaters. After that we went home and took Ava Trick or Treating down our street. When we finished that the girls went to sleep and our friends came over to play Canasta. It was a very fun day and I slept really well that night :)
