-So Sadie was lounging on the new couch we got for the girls. We got a couch and an easy chair, both made with wood and upholstered in purple. We were on our way up the stairs so Ruby could play in the playroom and we could watch a movie. I said "C'mon Sadie we need to go upstairs." She responded with "Okay, okay. I'm coming. I was just chillin'."
 |
| They were so excited to get these! |
 |
| Ruby likes them too :) |
-We were at the table eating dinner and waiting for Daddy to get home. Once he did and sat down with us the girls started in on their 10,000 questions and everything they did that day. Sadie starts off with "Hi Papa Bear." Lilly then goes into explaining that she has decided to call Daddy "Papa Bear while he is at work and Daddy when he is at home." Then she proceeds to ask, "Daddy do you tootie (fart) at work?" If we weren't at the dinner table we would have died laughing.

| She loves sitting with Daddy. |
-Steven put together the walker that Sadie had when she was a baby for Ruby. She is really getting mad and frustrated that she is not mobile yet so it was perfect. She picked up how to use it the first time she was in it. The next day I was making dinner and Steven went to the Turkish commissary to get water. We put her in the walker because lately if she is in her high chair she better be eating. She has decided the high chair is only for eating and not playing. Well she got really quiet so I turned around and she had followed Sadie into the bathroom. She comes back to the kitchen and starts opening drawers. The first one she opened bonked her in the head so she opened a lower one. It just happened to be the one that we keep ziploc bags in. She started ripping them out so I just let her play with them. Next thing I know she is trying to pull trash out of the trash can. I clean her up and move her away from it. Next thing you know, she knock over the entire trash can. She just laughed....
-Sadie walks into our room tonight and walks up to our bed. In hushed tones she tells us the aliens are coming and they are coming in a fire truck.

| Lilly loves sitting in her rocking chair and reading books. |
-In other news, Lilly surprised us by spelling her name! She was playing with a magna doodle and she started squealing "Look I wrote my name!!" Sure enough she spelled Lillian.
-I washed a long crocheted blanket that my mom had made. Steven brought the clean laundry up and Sadie spied it in the basket. She just kept oohing and ahing at the basket and saying "Oh wow!" She pulled it and said "It's a BIG Yiayia blanky." She calls her blanky her Yiayia blanky. She put the blanket over her head like a cape and ran out of the room.
-Ruby has a favorite song. It's called "Trashin' the Camp" from the Disney movie
Tarzan. Everytime she hears the song, whether we are playing it on an iPod, watching the movie, or someone is singing it, she starts dancing. She is so cute, she'll wiggle all over the place or if you help her stand she has this crazy leg thing she does.
-We have some Disney World vacation planning DVDs. They also come with a pamphlet about the park as well as a map of the park. Sadie sat down and was looking at one of the maps. She had an epiphany. Both Lilly and Sadie have been asking to go to any Disney Park. While she was looking at the map she said "That's how you get to Disney, I have to tell Daddy!"
 |
| They can be so sweet to each other, when they want. |
 |
| This how they were watching TV for a while. |
-As much as they fight they love to play together or just be together. They will start fighting and we'll separate them so they are no longer playing and they will yell at us for doing it. We will be eating dinner and they sit next to each other and they will scoot their teachers together so the chairs are touching. One will start bothering the other so we will push the chairs back to where they were. Before we are can even move the chairs they start yelling for us to stop. They want to sit with their "sissy".
 |
| They were amazed at how big they are and loved eating them! |
 |
| She thoroughly enjoyed her marshmallow. |
- Yiayia found some enormous marshmallows at grocery store near her. Knowing the that all 3 of the girls and Steven love marshmallows, she sent us some. She filled the box with lots of different goodies, including some baby snacks for Ruby. One treat was Gerber cereal bars. I took one out for Ruby and broke it into small pieces.She smooshed them back together to make one big piece then took the other half that was unbroken and ate it all. She will just take the whole cereal bar now and eat it like any other "big"person would. They all loved the marshmallow. Ruby took a whole one and just held it in her hands and took small bites of it. Now if she sees some one else eating one without her, she'll yell, scream, and squawk until she gets some.

| Tearing apart their "Yiayia box". They love mail :) |
-I asked Lilly to go downstairs and get the bag of things we had just bought at the BX. When she came back up she only had the screws that were in the bag. I told her to go back down to get the back and she asked why. I told because their were things in there I would like to get out, like the books they just got. She goes back down again adn come back up with just the books. I asked her to go downstairs aagain ans get the back. She sighed and asked why this time. I said I had asked her twice for the bag downstairs and twice she came back up without it. She says 'aw man!' and heads dowstairs again. She has been doing this a lot lately. Ask her to get something and she comes back with something else. She is a crazy girl.
The girls are keeping us busy,but they are so much fun :)
