The girls begged for colored bubbles when we were at Target the other day.

Pink for Ava and purple for Mila.

But when the bubbles drip, they both look red instead of pink and purple.

Like drops of blood every where. All over the sidewalk. All over the girls.

Who invented this stuff?!?!

Teeth.

Such a big girl.

Brushing her teeth all by herself.
IMG_2323

And a few silly faces too.

And when she is done, she proclaims “All gone!“.

Wisteria.

May 12th, 2012 by mama marlene

Today is the fifth (and final installment) of our Wisteria posts.

You know that pretty plant that blooms two weeks a year around Easter time.
IMG_2372

You know the one where I try to pose the kid(s) in front of for an awesome picture.
IMG_2382

And I never get the “perfect” picture.
IMG_2388

But we have lots of silly memories of us trying to get that picture.
IMG_2390

And I guess that is the whole point of it.
IMG_2394

I sure hope the girls remember these happy times under the Wisteria.
IMG_2396

Because I will always remember. Always.

Sharing.

May 12th, 2012 by mama marlene

These four friends haven’t seen in each other in awhile.

So instead of running around the whole time, they happily took a break and shared a blanket.

Ahhhh.
