The girls have seen very little of Daddy over these last couple weeks, so when he is home, this is about as far from him as they want to get. They are working on letters here...typical second-born treatment I guess...before Avery was two she could identify all the letters, Amanda's been two for months now and still doesn't have a complete handle on them...totally our fault for dropping the ball with her.
June 8They stopped in front of my "decks" (desk) and asked me to take a picture.
June 9Avery took this picture after Amanda had applied chapstick by herself.
June 10My sister Bethany dropped by and brought over a couple things for my girls that her girls had loved but were done with. This princess castle was one of the things, along with a barbie for each of them. They escaped to their room for the rest of the day. They call the barbies princesses because they live in a castle...makes sense to me.
June 11After leaving the house at 7 AM, this is the time Shaun rolled in (PM). He's been doing this pace for several weeks now, trying to get an apartment ready to be moved in to, and its wearing us all down. Its all part of being a landlord, and though I'm thankful for God's provision and for Shaun's abilities, its tough being in the middle of it. But...it will be over...soon.
June 12Avery greeting me first thing in the morning. This doll has gone with her everywhere lately. Kinda cool because it was one of my favorites when I was little.
Later, Shaun's mom had us over for dinner, complete with brownie sundaes and the girls got to play with Cousin Jared.
June 13
Avery and I went to my niece Madison's dance recital. She was in five different numbers and she was also honored for 5 years of dancing, all at this studio. Here she is the leader for the little ones.

I'm exhausted listening to Shaun's day! The girls are as always so cute. Have a great week!
ReplyDeletethe chapstick picture cracked me up!! I have a pic of Alyssa that age with chapstick she got at Xmas....we didn't know it turned RED after a few minutes....we found out after she applied it to herself AND me....we also found out it didn't come off easily and I had to go to church like that! ha!
ReplyDeletebtw, you never get rid of plastic....it just gets bigger!! sorry!

that would have been a favorite of mine too...a castle!!
fun times 4 sure
prayers hubby gets lots of rest
it's great that you are with the girls so Shaun can do what he's got to do. great pictures as always! i love that princess house!
ReplyDeleteHow do you get them to "let you" work at your desk??? My two are so jealous of my desk and I am hardly ever at it during the day... they just want to sit on my lap the whole time!
ReplyDeleteI have worked from home ever since Avery was a tiny baby, so they've had to learn when momma is working and its time to self-entertain. I try to work as much as possible when they are sleeping (morning, nap, or in the evening when Shaun is around), but sometimes there are things I HAVE to do.
ReplyDeleteThey've just grown up with it and for the most part they understand it and are really good about playing by themselves.
Your girls are so cute in these pictures and the chapstick picture is adorable. And I love that clock!!
ReplyDeletereally great and cute pictures!
