Nail polish disaster

I bought Lexi nail polish and put it on her toes and fingernails. The next morning I discovered she had snuck into my dresser and got it out and painted her dolls, herself, her binoculars, her turtle, etc. We're just all glad it didn't get on the carpet. :)

Special delivery

October 3rd - Kevin came over and played with the girls. He put Lexi in this box and brought it around pretending they were going to Africa and Australia. Lexi loved being given to different people.

She really fit well inside this box. It's funny how small she can get.

Suprise Grandma! I think we really suprised Grandma.

After we convinced Lexi the world wouldn't end if Lily got in the box too, she had fun playing patty cakes with Lily. Lily loved it!

My two cute girls!

Play date

So somehow these got out of order because these pictures were taken on the same day that Lily was playing with the dog. Oh well. Lexi went over to play with Keira. They watched some Dora the explorer and jumped and danced with her. Then they played/fought with Keira's toys. Then they went in the back where Keira had a tent set up. They had a blast playing in the tent.

Lexi probably stealing all of Keira's toys.

Wresting in the tent, running around the tent, running into the tent and jumping on the blankets.

Dennis tickling Keira.

Lexi chasing Keira around the tent even though you can't really see Keira in this one.

Worst day ever!

September 30th - So my day started out crappy. Lily awake at 4, put her back down, Lexi wakes up cranky, but we manage to get them ready. Just as we're about to leave a neighbor knocks on the door and tells me my car has been broken into. My purse and wallet gone, my window smashed out. I was so mad. I spend the next two hours calling all my cards to cancel them. Get to work for a decent day, go home to crazy kids, smash my finger, all sorts of bad luck. Why do people have to be so mean to others? Oh, and the past Sunday Jer and Rex's cars had been hit. The police say it's kids who must live nearby to repeatedly be hitting the same two streets.

Lily doggy time

We go to our friend's house who have two dogs, Chey and Rocky. Lexi goes to play with Keira, but Lily goes to get loved by the dogs. They lick her all over and she hangs her tongue out like a little dog herself. They just love her and go crazy whenever she comes over.

Lily petting Rocky.

Chey about to lick Lily.

Lily goes after the dogs sometimes too, here she' s going after Chey.

Picking Apples

September 27th, 2010 - One of our chores here is picking up the apples that fall under the tree. We had picked them all up and then we decided to just pick a ton of apples to save ourselves the trouble later. The whole family, minus Jer, came to help. We got two huge boxes and a bag of good apples and all the bad apples (2 X that) went in the garbage.

Lily and Lexi were quality control.

Colleen taking a round of bad apples to the garbage. Plenty more where that came from.

5K Mad Dash

September 25th, 2010 - Colleen was going on a 5 K walk/run for cancer awareness and Jer needed some sleep so me and the girls joined her to give Jer a break. We did great. We started last (Lexi had to go pee just as we were about to start), but we passed quite a few people and did okay.

Me pushing the girls. Lexi kept sticking her head out the side and upside down. Lily went to sleep.

The last bit we let Lexi out to run. Me and her ran together until she got tired. Then I had to piggy back her through to the finish, I got a bunch of cheers.

The big finishers. Me, Lexi, Colleen, and the top of Lil's head.

Me coming to the end with Lexi on my back. I came in about 50 minutes, which was good since we missed the start to take Lexi to the potty.
