Caption Contest #15 Winner

And the winner is ... Ashley!



Claire: OMG, where is that smell coming from???

Grace: *smiles*

Claire 63, Mom 1

Shhhh.

Keep your voice down.

Don't you know what it's been like over here the past few days?

Haven't you heard??

Sure, there have been giggles here and there. But the crying. Oh, the endless crying.

It's Claire. She's having trouble napping again. Could be some more teeth. Or a sore throat. Or I did something to enrage the sleeping gods. But whatever the cause, she cries every time I try to lay her down.

But this morning, I won.

She put up a good fight. But in the end, I finally won.

Photo Shoot

We had a rare moment over the weekend. Both girls were in good moods. AT THE SAME TIME. Shocking, I know. So, I grabbed my camera and tried to capture the moment. I think you will enjoy seeing what a typical "photo shoot" is like these days.

Pictures of the week: Sept. 3





I was folding laundry while they were playing in their room, and they both were so intrigued by the laundry basket (and the laundry) that I let them try it out.

I'm hoping this means good things for our future. My aching back is counting on it.

Giggles

I'll set the scene for you:

Grace had just woken up from her nap, and Claire had been glued to me for a good 45 minutes. So, I went in, said hello to Grace and plopped Claire down. And then I took some dirty dishes to the kitchen.

But from across the house, I could hear them giggling. One, then the other. Back and forth. So, I snuck into the room with the camera and did my best to capture the joy without them noticing. You'll have to excuse my unsteady hand.

Toward the end of the video, Claire's laughing so hard gets the hiccups and then chokes herself up. Too funny.
