Week 11 (March 11-18, 2011)

11th

We went to downtown Kaiserslautern today to poke around in the shops. While in one of them, I stumbled on a very interesting wind chime. I suppose it was a sexy merman wind-chime, LOL! Here is one of those mermen.  

12th

 While at the "sexy merman store", Ava found this little bobble head doggie. Today she named it. This is the first thing that she has owned that she has given a real name to (other then cat or dog). 

What's the name you ask? 

Nah-Na

13th

I bought these stamps forever ago but we have never used them until today. Ava decided to help me clean them off afterward.

14th

We have a cool little contact paper chalkboard out on our balcony. Ava didn't care for it much last summer but she loves it now. Today she wanted me to draw Mickey. I drew his head then she colored in the eyes and added arms and legs. I think it's pretty impressive!

15th

Today was my 3rd aniversary so I should have a photo of my husband and myself....but I don't! I didn't take any pictures today.
Fail! :(

16th

Ava decided to line up her goldfish around the edge of her plate.

Ava's first (mini) corndog! She hated them! Haha

8th

We picked this rose in our front yard! LOL Okay, so maybe not!

9th

Lucy is getting her hair cut for the first time on the 17th. I am posting a pic of her today because I am not sure that I will get around to taking another "Before" photo.

10th

Ava put this Tupperware bowl on her head then explained to me that she was on a mission. For what? Who knows! :)

Week 9 (Feb. 25-March 3, 2011)

Still SOOC over here! Some of my shots this week are a bit underexposed. Please bear with me. :) It is taking longer then I had hoped to resolve this editing situation (although I do hope to someday be able to "nail" most of my shots in camera).

25th

It looks more like fall around here then (almost) spring. Here's Ava crunching leaves.

Ava and Lucy

Lola loves a good box! :)

Paging Doctor Ava!

1st

Lola's newest favorite toy, a spoon from Ava's play kitchen! She carries this thing all around the house.

Don't you hate when your meds make you feel worse then you did to begin with, Blah!

3rd

Ava with her homemade binoculars!

I cheated and posted 3 for today.

Week 8 (Feb. 19-25, 2011)

 Well my editing software is still on the fritz. It's totally dead! I am thinking about buying Elements 9. Does anyone else have that version? What do you think about it? I tried to download the free trial version so that I could test it out but for some reason it won't download. Blah! So all of my shots are SOOC this week.

Feb 19th

This is what happens when a toddler finds hand lotion and decides to help herself. 

Feb 20th

 No more paparazzi please!

Feb 21st
Ugh, more construction! I am so tired of all the noise they are making! I totally overexposed this shot but it kind of looks cool.

Feb 22nd

I told Ava that she could have two of these mini doughnuts. When I returned she had taken every one out of the bag and had taken one bite out of each! Haha!

Feb 23rd

Ava latest flower arrangement from the local florist. I think she has a knack for it!

Feb 24th

Looks like someone tired themselves out with that feather stick!

Feb 25th

Ava was trying to show me her Jessie doll from the Toy Story movie.

Week 6 (Feb 5-11, 2011) and Week 7 (Feb 12-18, 2011)

I'm still alive! Sorry about missing last weeks post! Something is terribly wrong with my editing software so any of the pics below that are not watermarked are SOOC. 
 

Feb 5th

Yippee! New big girl bed! Well we finally did it, we bought Ava a bed. She isn't using it yet though. She I am not quite ready. But we have it and when the time comes it will be here!

Feb 6th

Blah! Why do we all still have this cold? It has been 3 weeks! Well we are stocking up on vitamin C around here. Hopefully we can finally shake it!

Feb 7th

A pre-Valentine's treat!

Feb 8th

Paper plates are so much fun! We were cutting plates to make Valentine's wreathes.  You can see more Here!

Ava's hair is finally long enough to braid! Now if I can only get her to sit still while I do it!

Lilly, looking out the window



Feb 12th
Ava said that her Pluto toy was being mean, so she put him to bed!


Feb 13th
For the past few days, Ava has been trying to spit after brushing (like she sees us doing). I got her some little cups to help her out, but she was much more interested in playing with them.
 

Feb 14th
Happy Valentine's Day! <3


Feb 15th
The construction work is getting heavy-duty now! :)

I had to sneak into Ava's room tonight to make sure that I turned her radiator back on. This is what I saw!

Feb 18th
We decided that we could use a little treat tonight! Ava said she wanted "pink" flavor ice cream so that's what she got! lol
