Never Leave 2 two year olds together...

Mike and Jed both had a church meeting to be at tonight so Jenn and I ordered pizza for us and the kiddos. After the kids finished, we were downstairs cleaning up when Tessa quietly and calmy comes down annoucing that Ally and Bella were upstairs playing with water in the bathroom. Jenn went upstairs, not thinking much about it. What did she find? The entire floor completly covered in half an inch of water, about a dozen empty, crumpled dixie cups lying on the floor and two drenched two year olds. They had been happily filling and dumping cups of water on each others heads for who knows how long. It took four towels and 2 hand towels to clean it up.

Positives and negatives of Ally's life right now...

Positive: She's potty trained.
Negative: That's her favorite excuse to get out of bed.

Positive: We finally got rid of the nighttime binky.
Negative: She tortures us with screaming when we put her to bed. What happened to 2 nights of screaming and then they're fine? That's what every other parent has said.

Positive: She's really taken off on her talking.
Negative: She can express her every wants, desires, and dismays in life.

Positive: She is so so so excited to now be a part of kids church.
Negative: She asks non stop to go to kids church and doesn't accept "there is not kids church today, that's on sunday's."

She'll be 3 and past the terrible 2's in exactly four months!

She does crack us up to no end though!

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Sorry, can't help laughing. She's just so cute! That earns her points every time! At least they were happily occupied instead of fighting, right?

LOL! Did you ask Tessa why she didn't come down right away and tell you? Kara cried for her binkie for about a month but it got proggressivly better, so good luck. You do know some times the three's are worse than the two's? As for kids church it seams to be quite popular as everytime we go near Rother Kara yells for it.

Hello from South Dakota! Cute story filled with a lot of memories. Kids are so cute. Kaylee misses the girls terribly so Mike gave me this website to keep up to date with your family.
