Spring is here!

Hi all, the snow is finally gone and weed season has begun! Here are a few photos of the girls and you'll see in the background some shots of our recently finished basement (yay, my main floor no longer looks like the toy aisle in a department store after a Boxing Day sale! Now my basement looks like the toy aisle in a department store after a Boxing Day sale).

Below are the girls after picking them up from daycare last night (usually I need to start the DVD player before I can get them into the van). Last night I showed them how to blow the seeds off a dandelion - A managed to ingest a few before she got the hang of it). When we got home, I found the remnants of the stem in E's mouth, A confirmed she ate hers as well - apparently dandelions are a tasty toy.















The girlies putting their shoes on this morning - notice E's intense focus in getting the job done and A waiting for Daddy to do it.
















A dialing for pizza while shopping with her dolly in the basement.
















E plays "peek-a-boo". Meanwhile note A in the background in the next shot calling Grandma M.
















Thing 1 (A) with bus and Thing 2 (E) with plane















A hides behind her umbrella while rabbit-ear E opens hers. A working in the construction zone.
















E takes a picture of Dad (thankfully she can't post hers - yet).
















A (left) and E enjoy their new flutes a little too much (Ah Tylenol work your magic....)

















The girls in their Sunday dresses (not so easy to get them to sit still for pictures anymore).

















E wearing her lovely robe from Great-Aunts in NB (not so easy getting them both to wear robes at the same time - "no want it" is a phrase I hear a lot these days, usually followed by the flinging of whatever item they "no want" across the room).





















A has also mastered logic at age almost-three. One day at the table she pronounced "I no push E, I no sit naughty chair, I be happy!" If only she took to her own advice. A is a bit of an agitator - if she is bored she will tap E to get something started. E will occasionally start something but mostly it is A. Sounds a bit like my mom and her older sister...

Happy Referral Day

Hi all,

Last Monday was the 2nd anniversary of the date that DoT and I received our referral for E and A. So, as a tradition that I hope to carry on yearly, I took their pictures holding one of their referral photos.
Uh, yeah, so for those of you who remember last year's post on the anniversary of the day we got them (See the July 2nd post in the archives - http://andstillwaiting.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html) you may remember that I wasn't clued in enough to comb their hair for the photo. Let's just say, some things never change....



K..
