The Great Protector

This is Jaden and Morgan's favorite game~ Jaden pretends to be the mommy & Morgan pretends to be the baby. They play it so much that I don't even respond to "mommy" being called out any more. When Morgan says it, she is usually referring t her "other" mommy.

Now, I have to share this little tidbit with you... Jaden asks some off the wall questions. I think it is a game to see how many questions she can come up with in one day! Yesterday's off the wall question was:

Jaden: "Mommy, If a mommy has twins in her her tummy. Then, does a mommy have a baby in her tummy and then the baby has a baby in HER tummy?"

Then, a couple of weeks ago, when she saw the mobilized shopping carts inside Target, she was fascinated by them. Like most kids, they look like cool cars, and she wanted to ride in one. I told her to get off of the cart because the carts are for people that can't walk. She looked confused. She got off of the cart, and said, "But, Mom, if they can't walk, how do they get to the carts?!"

Where does she come up with this stuff?!

Dear Santa...

Jaden cut out the pictures for both herself and Morgan

Morgan's letter to Santa (below)

We now have a Christmas tradition. Jaden asked if they could do the letters to Santa like they did last year. She remembered pasting her toy wish list to paper & mailing it to the North Pole... So, we did it again. This time, Jaden cut out all of the pictures, and then, Morgan and Jaden pasted and pasted and pasted until they ran out of toys to paste!

We put the letters in the mail with a return address, in case Santa want to reply (He did last year!)

The girls share their toys with the other girls

Maggie with her daddy Uncle Jeff

Jaden did a magic trick for Uncle Jeff. Now, Uncle Jeff is doing one back to her. It was hilarious! Too bad I didn't record it as a mini-video!

Maggie & Morgan decide to hug, and hug, and hug...

After living in this house for over 4 years, this is the first time that my brother Jeff and his family have ever come to visit. My girls (Jaden & Morgan) had fun sharing their toys with Jeff's girls (Emma, Bridget & Maggie). Yes, we both had nothing but girls! (so far anyway...) Jeff, Anne and their girls are now already back in California. Hopefully it won't take another 4 years before we see them again!

Halloween Carnival

The New Cool Thing to do @ Our House

The girls have just recently become fascinated with their dolls (the Barbie-like type dolls). Jaden got the house a few years ago, and Grandma Alice & Grandpa Bonnie bought her a lot of furniture to go with the house. However, she was only playing with it for a few minutes at a time here and there. Now, they are having a blast playing together!!! When I was younger, especially after my dad died when I was 9, I could play Barbies for HOURS!!! I love seeing them enjoy the same things that I enjoyed.

Oktoberfest

Isn't this precious?!

The INedible candy apple

German dancing

Dart throwing

Prize winning

Trying to ring the bell

And winning more prizes

I guess I didn't mention it was really HOT!! So, Morgan cooled down a little

I thought going to an Oktoberfest would be educational and fun for the girls. I know these pictures look exciting, but it wasn't that great. The main attraction was beer. That seemed to be what everyone had come for. Since we weren't interested in the beer, there wasn't too much left for us to do. So, we stayed for an hour, and then, we headed home.

The Flower Girls

Aunt Roxanne is getting married in November. She has asked the girls to be "flower girls" in the ceremony. They are very excited... They got even more excited when she and Kasey brought the dresses and shoes by our house to try on. Aren't the dresses gorgeous?!?!
