Jack Frost comes to Visit

It's snowing in Georgia! It didn't snow a lot, but it was enough to throw snowballs and make a snowman. Allie has never seen snow on the ground before. She loved it. Avery was pretty funny. She didn't know what to think. The girls played outside for a little while. We all threw snowballs for a while. Then Chris took Avery inside, while Allie and I built a snowman. Here are a few pictures of our snow adventures. It was really fun today, but I don't know if I would like to live where it snows often.

8 Things

I really like reading the 8 thing blogs. It is interesting to see all the personalities of the kids. Well, here are 8 things about my girls.

8 Things About Allie

1. I love to play with my friends and am very social.

2. I am very independent. I like to do things on my own. I am very proud that I can call daddy on his cell phone all by myself.

3. I love my sister and am very protective of her. I don't like for her to get in trouble, even if she is mean to me. I like to boss her around. I have lots of things to teach her.

4. I don't like to sleep. Never have. I can play in my bed for hours when I am supposed to be going to sleep. Most nights mommy has to clean out all the toys from my bed after I fall asleep.

5. I will try most any food. However, my very favorite food is chicken nuggets and french fries!

6. I change my clothes about 5-10 times a day. I love to dress up and I love to wear pajamas even if it is the middle of the day.

7. I am a daddy's girl now. Almost every morning, before I say anything else I ask if daddy is home.

8. I love to play with Barbie dolls.

8 Things about Avery

1. I love ketchup. I dip everything in it, including my apple slices!

2. I don't like juice. I only drink milk and water. I do like to drink a sip of mommy's diet coke if she will let me.

3. I try to do everything my big sister does. I love her, but if I get mad I pinch her.

4. I have a temper. If I don't get what I want, I find something to throw!

5. I love to get kisses. At bedtime I lay in my bed and get lots of kisses from mommy!

6. I love to dance. I dance when ever I hear music. I like to dance with Allie.

7. I love to play with baby dolls.

8. I don't like to have my clothes changed. If I see new clothes coming, I run away and laugh. It is so funny when mommy and daddy have to chase me.

Allie has been saying so pretty funny stuff the last few days so I thought I would share.
- She was very mad at me, because I wouldn't let her go out and play with the neighborhood kids. She was sitting at the window pouting. She said, "Nobody talk to me, not you or Avery". I was happy to not talk to her, since she had been whining for 10 minutes about not going outside. However, in about 30 seconds she asked me a question about going outside and I answered. She didn't like the answer. She said "Mom, don't talk to me. Even if I ask you a question, just don't talk to me".
- Today Allie and I were playing with the doll house people and she was telling me their ages. I thought it would be interesting to see her perspective on age. So I asked her how old is someone who is old. She said, "Do you mean they have a stick they walk with?". I said " Yes, how old are they?". She said "20"!
- She was talking about New York City for some reason. I told her I would take her there someday when she is older. I also added that Daddy doesn't like New York. She asked, "Is it because there is a lot of shopping there?" Oh how she knows her daddy.

Crazy Kids

This morning, Avery came out of her room (I thought) and was pointing and telling me something I didn't understand. She lead me to the bathroom and this is what I found!

This picture was after we came out of the bathroom.

She sure looks guilty!

Here are a few more funny pictures of Avery I have taken recently.

She found all of Allie's play jewelry and put it ALL on.

This is Allie and Emily putting on a concert for us.
