Four girls and some balloons

Wednesday, April 9th, 2014

As mentioned below, one of Avery’s friends just turned four. Her birthday party was held over the weekend, and the two girls grabbed their big sisters and a whole bunch of balloons for a post-party pic.

Frozen section

Tuesday, April 8th, 2014

At the grocery store the other day I told Q I was going to the frozen section. “I’ll go with you,” Avery called out and followed me. After I started looking at ice-cream, Avery suddenly stopped and said with disappointment, “Oh.  I thought you were looking at Frozen movie stuff.”

Nails!

Sunday, April 6th, 2014

Avery had the day off school on Friday, and the two of us joined a friend and her mom for a celebratory nail session. (It was the other little girl’s 4th birthday.) Avery had never been to the nail salon before (I missed taking her on her 4th), and she sat quietly and happily the whole way through. Just a few more months until Avery turns five and we can go again!

“She’s a nice little girl”

Friday, April 4th, 2014

The other night the girls were helping me clean the house. Avery and I were in the bedroom when Zoe called out from the dining room, “Should I sweep?” And before we could answer: “There are a lot of crumbs – I think I will.”  Avery smiled and looked up at me. “She’s a nice little girl,” she said.

More little notes

Thursday, April 3rd, 2014

And here are two recent notes written for me when I was away. One is an update of what Zoe did in my absence; the other a bedtime request. (I love the way she spells “bounce.”)

Little note

Wednesday, April 2nd, 2014

Zoe loves writing and is prone to leaving little notes around the house for me and Q. Here is one of her recent, very sweet, ones.

Guff

Tuesday, April 1st, 2014

I often, teasingly, tell the girls not to give me guff. The other night, after asking if she could stay up later, Avery begged me, “Please! I won’t even give you any guffs tomorrow.”
