The Braves VS the Phillies

Here are some pictures from the baseball game that we went to. I would have taken more pictures but Allie was asleep on my lap. The stadium was completely sold out (40,000 seats). They handed out little towels for everyone to wave and Sadie really got into that. We had a hard time explaining that she was cheering for the wrong team. We wanted that braves to win. She threw the biggest one time because everyone started cheering and she couldn't find her towel to wave in the air. She ended the game lying on a blanket under our seats watching Cinderella on the video ipod.

A day at the farm

So I was able to find a farm about 5 minutes away that let us pick our own raspberries, apples, pears, and pumkins. So we went on Saturday morning. However, there had been a slight early morning rainshower which made all these really annoying little nat like bugs come out. We discovered if you stayed close to the ground (like Allie) you wouldn't be attacked. But these were literally swarming, which is why Sadie had her hood on. The bugs kept flying into her ears. Needless to say, we hurried as fast as we could and didn't take very many pictures.

Back seat driver

One day's lesson for Sadie was that red means stop and green means go. I decided that was a very bad lesson to teach. Now as I am approaching a stop light Sadie will yell, "Stop mom! Stop! Red means stop!" Then when is turns green I hear "GO! Green means go!" So the other day I was at a red light turning right when Sadie madly yells out, "Mom Stop! the light is red! Don't turn!" I found myself trying to explain to a 2 year old why I can turn right when the light is red. I didn't expect this problem for another 10 years!

Binky?

Allie has found an alternative to her binky. This is a fence post from a toy and for some reason she loves to suck on it. So she crawls around the house with it in her mouth. She will also go into the kitchen and suck on the door pulls on the cabinets. She is crazy...definately takes after Todd. The other day someone told me that they looked exactly alike. When they are in the double stroller people always ask if they are twins!? These two kids are SO different and don't look anything alike! I guess that is part of the fun of having kids...you never know what they will look like or what their personality will be.

One lone little piggy

Allie wanted a turn getting her hair the other day so here is the result.

OCD?

Today has been a bad day for the potty. After retraining her once we moved I thought we could move on, but alas this is a persistent problem. So after the 2nd accident before noon, I was so mad I told her to go upstairs and get some night-night panties. I gues I should have been more specific...After I finished feeding Allie I turned around to see what she as doing and this is what I found. (For once in my life I caught her in the act on camera!) I wonder who she gets this from? I thought needing the closet doors closed before crawling into bed (remember Emily) was just part of keeping the room clean, Todd informs me that it is OCD. Oh well, at least she is clean and orderly!

Torture or Beauty?

I feel like my life has come full circle. I can now torture my children the way that my mother tortured me. She actually sat quite still so that I could put the curlers in and then was very sad when it was time to take them out.
