Teeth 3 and 4 by Alison

Tooth #3 February 19 - I was chewing on some popcorn and it hurt! Then I pulled it out.

Tooth #4 March 7 - I was in my bed wiggling my tooth. And, I pulled it out!

When it's too quiet in our house we know Merilyn is up to something. Some days it's not too bad! This is an example of, "It could have been worse." She found one of Ali's little stamps and gave her doll a little make-over. She was quite proud of her handiwork!

I would like to take a minute to thank Uncle Ross his fabulous birthday gift for Alison - the HSM 3 dolls. {Can you hear the sarcasm in that?} Merilyn love-loves them! She plays their little song button repeatedly and sings along. It might not be so bad if it played a little longer than a few seconds of the same thing... over and over and over... And, yes, Auntie KC she also love-loves the Hannah Montana microphone just as much. Thank you for that as well.

She's Feeling Better

When I got home from work today Miss Meri had a temperature of 103.2. After some baby Tylenol and a little nap on the couch, she's feeling a bit more like herself.

Daddy Time

After school Travis took the girls to the park for some play time. It was a very nice afternoon! Alison loves her Daddy time so much... she usually makes him quite a "to do" list. After the park, the two of them made yummy apple dumplings. Their specialty is krispie treats... but tonight they took on a new challenge. They were so good!!

Of course...

Merilyn wanted to help with my painting project.



Can you see the little footprint in the lid of the paint can? And then the little footprints all down the hall... and I hadn't even started to paint yet.

A Little Crazy, Maybe?

As you may know, we've been having a few sleep issues in our house. Even with the bunkbeds, I still end up with both girls in my bed by morning. I made Ali a deal... if she could sleep in her own bed for a certain amount of nights, I would paint her bedroom. She held up her end of the deal {groan} so that meant I "got" to paint. It turned out pretty good, {if I do say so myself} Ali is very excited, and promises to sleep in her own room. While I painted I listened to Tallgrass. Having the audiobook turned out to be great for this weekend's project... and now I'm ready for book club this week!

Now it's my turn. I've been thinking about painting the office for awhile, and now that I have all of the painting supplies dug out of the garage, I just might do it. Any thoughts on which color would be best? They look very similar in the photos... but the asparagus is quite a bit darker.
