Operation playtime

Last Sunday we had a BEAUTIFUL day here (it was 72 degrees!).  We had so much fun playing outside.
Our commissary has a playground right outside and it is the perfect size for our kiddos.
Isabella was loving wearing Daddy's watch. :)

Here are a few things Isabella is up to lately:
Her new favorite color is orange (she still loves pink).
She loves her pink sweatshirt & sparkly pink glitter belt.
"ME DO IT" is a phase that often comes out of her mouth.
She can buckle herself into her car seat but MUST take off her jacket first.
She is 90% potty trained.


She has to sleep with her bear and blanket and those are the ONLY things that can be in her bed with her.
She is still really attached to her pacifier....we have made a few attempts to get rid of it but it is not going to be easy!
She is our morning person (she is ALWAYS the 1st one up of the kiddos, usually after Daddy)...her and Daddy spend many early mornings together.

All 3 kids have been playing really well together and have been into a lot of the same things.
Whatever Isaac loves the girls do too!

Isaac is doing SO well in school and we are so proud of him.
He has an easy going spirit and is always looking out for his sisters.
He is a great helper.
He loves to do art, help me cook, and play pirates.
He goes to a Church program called AWANA's on Tuesday evenings and he always gets really excited to go.
If we give him a gift or a treat he always says "is this for ME?!"

Ava is someone we always have to keep an eye on....you never know what she is going to do next.
She loves to wash her hands and continue playing in the water for long periods of time.
She grasps concepts that are beyond a 2 year old mind....we are curious as to how this will all play out.
She is a chatter box and can repeat anything.
She loves her bed full of everything when she sleeps.  She often will have at least 2 pillows, 5 stuffed animals & maybe a toy for good measure BUT she only wants one blanket. :)
She still sleeps with her Lulu (stuffed giraffe) and her pacifier.
She is also about 90% potty trained.

** A side note= you would never guess how much time I spend in the bathroom each day.  I think the game between them is called "Let's Keep Mommy Busy by Wanting to go Potty" all. day. LONG. :)

These girls are so sweet together (most of the time) and are always looking out for each other.  I can ask one of them what is wrong with the other one and they can always tell me.  

They sure keep me busy!

Our kiddos are growing up so fast but it is so much fun to watch them learn new things and develop such fun personalities!

**We will be out of town for a week but we have some fun posts scheduled so check back over the week!
