After 8 weeks and 4 days, Ava is out of a cast!!!! We went today and the bones look good, so no more cast. She is supposed to take it easy for the next two weeks (no playgrounds, bounce houses, etc.). I told the Dr. "You mean she wasn't supposed to be doing these things with the cast?" She told me no, but Ava has not slowed down one bit and I confessed I was a bad mom and let her go wild as usual. Oh well, it healed anyway. She had her first bath tonight without having to hold it out of the tub with plastic wrap and she was in heaven. She got so mad when she had to get out and laid on the bottom of the empty wet tub and threw a little tantrum.

First Day of School

The girls started preschool on Tuesday. A much needed break for me. They go from 9-12 on Tuesdays and Thursdays so I can get some cleaning and errands done ALONE!!! They did really well, no tears that I know of, but I also dropped and ran w/o saying goodbye. Not sure if that is the wrong way to do it, but it works for me. They used to be in daycare, they go to the church nursery, and have each other, so I don't think they minded much.

I was so excited I got a couple of pictures of them. They do not like to cooperate these days and are hit or miss on letting me do their hair. You will notice they have their princess flip flops on. They are obsessed with these shoes (thanks Carrie)! They did not actually wear these, but they always have to put these on until we get in the car. They then take them right off and when we get to our destination I put on the shoes I want them to wear. I love these, but they are a little big and they don't walk very well in them for every day wear. Anyway, the pictures (out of order)!

The girls really wanting to take their pigtails out. My girls seriously have bangs in their eyes 99% of the time, and they refuse to wear bows. :(
Cate in the car (still in the garage) saying "No Picture!" Notice the shoes are already off.

Ava saying "Cheese!" Shoes also off. About 5 seconds later Ava had both her pigtails out. Drives me nuts!!!

A little nervous. Ava twirling her hair and Cate biting her nails.

"Here we go!"

Sweet girls! Love them!

Ava still in the cast. Hopefully it will come off on Monday.

Halloween Costumes

I saw these costumes and thought they were perfect "coordinating" costumes for the girls. I can't wait for Halloween so they can wear them.
