So happy to see Santa!

Yep, it happens every movie night.

Who is in your family?

In Aynslee's class this week they were learning about families. They were asked, "Who is in your family?" and to draw a picture of the people in their family. Aynslee drew her sister and this is what she told her teacher.............

"This is my sister Avery, she's always grouchy and she be's really naughty and she is bad and goes to time out when she hits someone, that's what she doos." Aynslee 4yrs Sept 2009

Chloe

I bought the pattern for this sweater @ nevernotknitting.com.

It's super cute! Isn't it?

I still need to finish weaving ends in and put the buttons on.

I think I'm going to make one for Avery too.

I have a lot of yarn left over to probably make 2 more.

Ballet

What she did this week........

They learned about the letter "M."
She is so proud of her school work.

First day of school!

I survived!!!!

Avery was very upset when we dropped

big sister off and she couldn't stay.

That is probably why I didn't cry I was to busy trying to get

my screaming toddler out the door.

Aynslee reported that she loved school and can't wait to go back.

Daddy was able to call home tonight to talk to her.

That made her big day even better!

Sundress

My Ballerina!

Aynslee modeling her ballet outfits for dance.

napping

Ayslee fell asleep in daddy's chair yesterday.

She started out like the above picture.
She woke up for a few seconds sat up and then went back to sleep like this.

row, row, row your boat......

My imaginative child.

"chores"

Isn't this cute?

I had asked her to pick up her toys she scatter in the living room.

When she was done she asked me if she could vacuum,

of course I let her.

I'm not about to turn down a kid you actually wants to do something.

Other than picking up their toys (usually with help)

my girls don't have any set chores.

But now that Aynslee is getting older and is able to help a lot more

I realize that I need to start letting them learn how to do things.

Do your kids have chores?

What are they?

Aynslee has a memory like you wouldn't believe.

If you tell her how to spell something once she rememebers it.

She wrote this yesterday all by herself.

I didn't even know she knew how to spell mommy.

She amazes me!

Allergist Follow up

We had Aynslee's follow up for her allergy testing today. She is allergic to eggs. We have to do a major overhaul on her diet. NO chicken nuggets, or pancakes or cookies, etc.

I went into Whole Foods after we left his office and got her some egg free nuggets, cereal bars, waffles and pasta. I also got some egg replacer so I can make her cookies or cakes from time to time.

We will have to carry an epipen with us and leave one at her school.

She still doesn't qualify for the medical exemption for vaccines so I will need to get a religious excemption from the state. I'll tackle that next week.

Wish me luck I really don't want to deal with the people at the Health Department after my phone call with them a few months ago.

Happy Birthday, Aynslee!

My oh my how times does fly!

Can you believe this girl is 4 YEARS old today.

Happy Birthday to my beautiful girl.
I love you!

climbing a mountain

Aynslee is climbing Mt Trashmore. It was a landfill they covered and turned into a park. 

It's pretty cool. The park area is really nice and the girls had so much fun. 

Aynslee's 1st fish

Josh took Aynslee fishing and she caught her very first fish. 

She had lots of fun fishing with daddy!
