Street Fair & updates

We made our way to the street fair today and I was very impressed with the whole thing. Lots of booths & they had a bounce center set up for the kids to play at. After we walked around & shopped a little we spent the rest of the time bouncing. That was a good thing since it wears the little ones out. Here are some shots we got of the girls playing. Ava cracks me up at how she thinks she is as big as Ella. She can do just about anything Ella does.

Ava had to watch Ella 2 times to learn how to master this slide. Then we had to drag her off.




I was surprised that Ella went on this because she is afraid of heights :(

on to some updates....Ava likes to sit in the jeep when we pull into the garage everyday & turn on the radio. Lately when she has been getting into the jeep she has figured out that the silver square thing on the floor will make the jeep move. So now she likes to push the pedal. Needless to say she wants to drive this thing instead of ride. The past few days we have be playing outside she has been trying to drive & had been doing ok at it. With a little time she will have it mastered. She is learning so much these days. At her last Dr.'s visit he told me to start teaching her where her body parts are & pointing at things in books and asking her what sounds they make. She already knows where 10 of her body parts are located and when we ask her to show us things in books she knows exactly what to do & she knows what sounds go with what animals. We have a counting book she loves too and she can already count to 4. Ella was counting to 10 and could say part of the alphabet by this time. She follows directions very well when we ask her to do something but you better watch out cuz if she doesn't get her way (and this is ONLY at home) the tantrum starts. When I say only at home that's because she NEVER does this at daycare, church, or in front of most people. It's like we make this stuff up. We don't this child has a set if pipes on her that could crack all the windows in the house. Ella is also doing very good. For some odd reason her eating habits have slowed down but she is still growing well. She humors us with the things that come out of her mouth on a daily basis. She has picked up (from somewhere ) yes ma'am & yes sir. When we ask her to do something she will say "yes ma'am" ....uuummm ok ! Was my first thought when she said that. Both girls are learning & growing so much so fast. They make our cup overflow with joy everyday.

I did get my fall decorations up this week & they look so pretty. The girls loved helping with that. They were so excited. Ava calls everything that is round a ball. So all of the pumpkins to her is a ball. Ella told me that the mums were "beautiful & smelled so good". She really has a way with words. I did 2 fall scenery's this year. I did one out by the entrance of our driveway & the other in the front yard. We live so far off the road that you can't see the one in the front yard so that is the reason I decided to put one by the driveway this year. I will post pics. later.
