Oops I did it again....

So over the last, oh, 4 months or so.....



Avery turned 5!



We hit up Calaway Park a couple more times...



Avery started Kindergarten. She LOVES it! She was so ready to go.



1st day of school!



We are AFV fans. We saw a video called "Cookie Face Race" - you put a cookie on your forehead, and start stretching and squishing your face trying to get the cookie down to your mouth. The girls wanted to try it. I didn't have any cookies, so we used Ritz crackers. Avery was really focused.



Mayson working it in...





SCORE! Avery's didn't really move :)



Roewyn wanted to try it - she pretty much just slid it down her face with her hand.



Avery and Roewyn get some quality time on the days that Avery doesn't have school.



Roewyn figured out how to do her own pony tail...she gets all her hair in now :)



Side view...



They play really great together.



The girls hunt for ladybugs all the time



They've discovered the joy of climbing trees. There is a good one behind our house, and the girls wear helmets when they climb it, "just to be safe".



Playing in the leaves...



On days when BOTH her sisters are at school, Roewyn gets pretty creative..



And expressive.



If you see Trey, you see Avery. He's rarely NOT having his face kissed.



The girls wanted to have a sleepover in the basement. Which meant stay up til 11:00 watching movies, then Mayson and Avery come sleep in mom and dad's bed. Roewyn copped out after the first movie and wanted to sleep in her bed. Good girl. I don't know how soon we'll be doing it again. But they look happy right?



Avery pretty much taught herself to ride sans training wheels. She asked Jon to take them off, and she got her helmet and said "I just want to try it". I was putting Trey to sleep at the time, and Jon had to run out and do some work stuff, so she went to practise for a bit. I got Trey to sleep and came outside to see how she was doing, and I found her doing this.



She said "Mayson is way faster than me, but I will get it". What a clever girl :)





I LOVE NOT having a dishwasher (hear the dripping sarcasm). Last sunday afternoon, Mayson said "mom, I'll try doing the dishes for you, cuz I know they are not your favorite". So I got the water ready and she went to work. She did a great job and it was a service that was greatly appreciated. What a sweetheart.

Wow - I finally return to the blogging world and it seems that I'm not alone. What beautiful little girls you have! I loved bumping into you at Costco. We'll have to get together sometime!

Love the Playing in the Leaves picture! So sweet of Mayson to help with the dishes.
