friends

these girls have been buddies since before their first birthdays and they are such cute friends.

 sarah watched the girls one day and sent me these pics.

cuddling friends? i love it!

a few weeks ago we got to watch abby and ellie.

ellie wasn't too sure about the whole thing, so she wanted to hang out by the stairs to watch for mama.

 laney was like, "let's dance!"

and then she got dressed.

 she was so happy to have a little friend over!

for our summer reading program we needed to read with a friend = perfect, we had a friend over! and i love how my two girls are making goofy faces and abby is smiling nicely. see, some kids smile nice for the camera!

they were all excited and ready to read some books!

even the little ladies.

addie got ahold of my phone, so these are courtesy of her.

and so are these.

there were several more abby close-ups, but you get the idea. :)

the lighting is terrible, but they were so cute reading at the little table.

abby loves chris, but ellie... not so much.

i sent this to sarah and told her that the aina girl love for chris ended with abby. 

i love her face!

bonus pic:

miss frankie frog got a little carried away with the sidewalk chalk.

i handed her a rag and she went to work!

teach 'em young!

but seriously, i'm trying to get mad less and let the natural and logical consequences take effect.

you wrote on the wall? okay, you know that's not appropriate, now clean it up. some days i remember better than others, but we're working on it. :)
