a whole lotta pictures.

we've done a lot in the past few days, and all that action makes me sleepy and not in the mood to write much. zane had another snow day today (snow, rain, ice, yuck...) and the girls were in rare form, so we're just zapped. instead, a cop-out picture post. which is probably what some of you would rather anyway ;)


(i can't remember if i posted all the hat pictures here as well as facebook.) nola loves to wear hats (as long as she's the one who picks it out and puts it on), and the other morning she chose the cowboy hat for breakfast. note she has a spoon in each hand, so as not to mix yogurt with oatmeal. dare i say she's becoming as particular as her sister and dad?

avery and marley were hanging out in the sunroom. i heard avery yell "mama! look! and take a picture!" (a nicer shot than the other picture she demanded i take today, see below....)

nola is our funny little clown. pair that with teething, tantrums and maybe a lingering ear infection (?!), and she's completely unpredictable and irrational sometimes. i sometimes am worried about silence, and i'll walk into a room to find something like the above scene. i walked over to her and she giggled and ran away.

avery got a ballerina dress-up outfit, complete with ballerina slippers. she's in love. we put our cds on random the other night and when tom petty came on, we were not disappointed. as the music was playing "you belong among the wildflowers", avery was flitting around and twirling and bringing tears to our eyes :)

since i know who sees this blog, i can share this picture :) after she went potty this morning, i came into the bathroom to find her posing next to the toilet, grinning. i still have no idea why. there was nothing in the potty, nothing different in the bathroom. she just wanted a picture taken. so i took one. and then she made me get her camera so she could take a picture of me. i haven't uploaded that one, probably wont share...

since avery got a new dress up outfit, now nola can get in on the action and wear snow white. she had 3 layers of clothes on under the snow white costume and looked like a football player. add the french inspired hat and it's quite the combo ;)

avery's latest drawing of zane. complete with beard. :)
