"I just keep laughing."

I've said it before and I'll say it again.  Bonnie is hilarious.  And that's a good thing because if I didn't find a little humor in all of her antics the girl would be in a giant heap of trouble every day.  Or living with Mimi and Gramps on a more permanent basis.  Kidding.  Sort of.

A couple of days ago she was giving me trouble before her nap.  She didn't want to put her sleep sack on.  Then she wanted it on.  Then she wanted it off.  Then she wanted to put on her pajamas.  The Dora ones.  No the Princess ones.  After several minutes of the back and forth, I had had enough.

That's when I started threatening.  And that's when Bonnie started laughing.  You know, the kind of taunting laugh that makes the person who is upset more and more furious.  As I was mid "If you don't (fill in the blank), then I'm going to (fill in the blank)," she said, while mid chuckle, "I juth keep waffing."

It took everything I had not to crack up right then and there.  So much so that I had to turn around and hold my breath so that she wouldn't hear me stifling the laughter.  Tears welled up in my eyes.

My mom had to leave the room (Yes!  My parents are still letting us live with them).

What are we going to do with this girl?

Bedazzled Ballerinas

We may have gotten slashed by the Blades on Saturday, but game number #2 was just as much fun as the first.  And Bonnie got to make an appearance at this one, too.  

She didn't run out onto the field nearly as much as I thought she would, either.  She had a great time on the sidelines running around and kicking the soccer ball with Gramps, and would stop every now and then when Grace would call for her from the field.  

Today we were back to normal in our ballerina/princess get-ups.

After a preschool play date bright and early this morning, Bonnie went down for a long nap at Mimi's while Grace and I hit up Michael's for some arts and crafts supplies.  Grace is really into art these days, and I had a little project going of my own.


We spent the rest of the afternoon donning all of the new jewels Mimi bought for the girls.  And dancing to Swan Lake on the back porch.  LOVE this fall weather!

Random pictures from the last 2 weeks.

The lack of blog posts is definitely not due to a lack of pictures.  In fact, quite the opposite.  The girls pretty much think I have a camera growing out of my face.

My mom has been helping with the photography, too, so I have double the amount of pictures to edit every night.  Which is just fine by me.  I love looking at pictures of my girls.

We've been having quite a lot of fun these last couple of weeks.  The girls are really into playing dress up together right now, and Bonnie's favorite thing to do is to copy every single thing Grace does.  And also run around half naked.

Waiting for "eyeshadow"

Did someone get a new purple helmet?

A little cool weather teaser allowed us to bring out some fall clothes...

...and then temperatures rose so Bonnie was back to sheer fabrics and underpants only!

Meet Gypsy Rose Lee

It was back to school for Grace after having missed a day due to the croup.  Bonnie was glad to have her sister back at school with her!

Scorpions rule!

Bonnie woke up (again!) with a snotty nose and a warm forehead Saturday morning, so unfortunately she had to miss Grace's very first soccer game of the season.  For the record, this is her third cold since school started on August 23.

Her sister's absence didn't stop our little Scorpion from having an awesome first game, though!  Coach Dad wasn't too shabby, either.

When she wasn't chatting with her teammates, watching the grass grow, striking a pose on the field, or checking out the other girls' shoes, Grace almost scored a goal!  The ball bounced right off the goal post.

And while we didn't keep score (the Scorpions totally beat the Pumas 5-3), all of the girls did a great job and looked absolutely adorable to boot.

A visit to Pinkberry after the game for some frozen yogurt was definitely the cherry on top of the afternoon!

Scorpions RULE!

Hey, cute shoes!
