Sisterly Love, Part 2

Did I mention that I love it when Savannah is nice to Melanie and keeps her entertained?

Sisterly Love

The other morning I had the girls sitting on my bed. I just thought that Savannah was so sweet to sit and read to her little sister. And Melanie loved it!

Plus I thought it was really funny that Melanie's hair was sticking straight up and her tummy was hanging out of her pajamas!

New Dresses

I saw these dresses at Wal-Mart and was able to convince Savannah that it was pretty cute. I got a matching one for Melanie. I'm hoping to get their pictures taken some time in the near future.

Halloween Costumes!

I just love Halloween!

I've been talking to Savannah about what she wants to be for Halloween this year. I've finally been able to convince her to wear the little wings that I bought for her 2 years ago! So she wants to be a Butterfly! We went to a costume store today and finished off her costume by buying a pink leotard, pink slippers, and a wand. When we got home, she was so excited to put the entire outfit on. I thought that she looked pretty cute!


And I got out our old pumpkin costume for Melanie! She was so excited to put it on! I remember how much Savannah loved that costume! I eventually had to hide it from Savannah because she had grown out of it and still wanted to squeeze into it! But Melanie absolutely loved it, and will make a cute pumpkin too!

Sitting Pretty

I finally broke down and got Melanie a regular carseat. I think that she likes being able to see everything while we're riding around. Her and Savannah sure looked cute in their matching carseats!

And I'm just happy to not have to lug that infant carrier around anymore!

Cleaning the Yard

We have a small backyard and the previous owners left a push mower. So, since we don't have our own lawn mower, then Jon cut the grass with the push mower. Of course we didn't have a rake either; so we stole an extra one from his parent's house a few days later. When the time finally came, Melanie decided to help Jon rake up the grass. She was so cute!

Wild and Free

Does anyone else's children like to run around like little animals? Savannah hates having me do her hair and is always telling me that it's okay because she's wearing a headband. And on this particular day, she stayed in her pajamas until we went over to grandma's house (who then needed the help of my sister to wrestle some clothes onto Savannah) and her face was dirty with chocolate pudding too! Yeah, I took her to Grandma's house and left her just like this!

Story Time

Savannah and Melanie love books!

Melanie is almost always carrying a book around and trying to find someone to read to her. One night, before bed, Melanie managed to snuggle in with Jon on the bed and got him to read to her. Savannah loved the idea and joined in on the action!

The Airport

I've been trying to play catch-up with all of my pictures ever since our move, so sorry that these are a little late.

About 1 1/2 weeks ago I took my girls and my grandma to the airport to pick up my cousin. The girls got a kick out of looking at the airplanes, just from the parking structure. Savannah was so upset that our trip to the airport was so fast and that she didn't get to ride any airplanes.
