Here's our little monkey and banana
(if you can't tell, Ava has on a yellow outfit with a blue "sticker" that says Chiquita!)
I have decided that being a mom is hard work - ALL the time! Even when we're playing. I absolutely love it, but for all of you who think I've got it all together, you're so wrong!! I try to find joy in even the hard times, though, because I know how fast time flies!!! I also know that we are not promised tomorrow, so even when I am about to pull my hair out, I know that I am blessed with two wonderful girls who I love with all my heart!
The hardest right now is when the girls have trouble sleeping at night (I need my beauty sleep - or something like that). Ellie finds any excuse to come get in our bed - she's "freezing cold" or she's scared - not of anything in particular, though. Ava must be cutting teeth because she's kind of had a rough week, but last night, she was too busy wanting to play duck, duck, goose! She would almost be back asleep and I would be rocking her...when all of a sudden, she would smack me on the forehead and said, "Duh" (aka duck)!! It was so hard not to laugh and tell her it was time to go night night - it was at about 1:30 this morning!!
Ellie has become a pro at Mancala. She wants to play the "ball game". I taught her earlier this week after Ava went to bed and we have played every night since...and she has beat me every night, fair and square!!
Ava is amazed by bubbles right now. She has never really cared much for them, but loves them now!
Hope everyone has a great Halloween!
