Halloween

Here's a picture from the Halloween Party - this was right at the beginning - before Syd had realized that she would get candy for every game she played. Also this is the best picture to see the backside of Syd's costume.


Here's Ashlyn aka Baby Batgirl. Baby Batgirl was very content to watch all the older kids play games - and just before we left she decided to pass out in her stroller.


Sydney got a Dora costume when we were in Canada last year and she told me daily for most of October that she was going to be Dora for Halloween. This is one of the only pictures with the hair on - as soon as we had our backs turned it was off.

Twins?

I remember hating that my mom dressed my sister and I in the same outfits. There are 22 months between us. The outfits were endless, everything from pjs, dresses, snowsuits, and anything else you can imagine. Our hair was cut the same way, we had matching baby blankets and this matching seemed to go on at least til I was 8 maybe even longer. We were mistaken for twins so I'm told - how I don't know.


Here you see the same hair cuts and matching bathrobes.


Here we are in the same snowpants and the shirts underneath apear to match as well.

I remember swearing that I would never do the same to my kids and look what has happened. Nana sent them matching dresses - this is the result.


There is more of an age gap between them they are 2 1/2 years apart. But I do have to admit they look pretty cute even if they're in matching dresses.


I blame the matching entirely on my mom - so when the girls are older I'll tell them it's all their Nana's fault.

A Rainy Saturday

What do 3 girls home alone on a rainy Saturday do?
Make cookies - that's Sydney answer this morning.


Here is a picture of the bakers courtesy of Sydney and her photo skills.


So we made and painted stars, moons, and cars sugar cookies.




Sydney decided that she also needed to make a cookie in the shape of her hand.


Here she is showing off her cookies.


While we were busy in the kitchen, Ashlyn spent the entire time asleep in her swing. What a hard life she has.

Can you tell the difference?

Can you tell which one is Sydney and which one is Ashlyn? I'll reveal the correct answer next Saturday the 7th of August.
Answer: Ashlyn is the top picture and Sydney is the bottom picture.

Cucumber Monster

Here in Germany we seem to have a problem with Cucumbers this year. They never seem to make it home in one piece. This one did make it home - but then the monster walked into the kitchen saw the cucumber and stole it right off the counter and took a big bite out of it.

Baby Blanket

Seeing as I only have 5 weeks or so left I decided that I needed to finish up the Baby's blanket. Sewing with a 2 year old is definetly not easy - seeing as she wants to help. Thursday was a holiday here so I took advantage of David being home and finally got it done.
