Vampire teeth.

January 29th, 2012 by mama marlene

Mila found a set of vampire teeth the other morning, stuck it in her mouth and ran around the house making scary sounds.

This blink during the picture made her look even spookier.

But I can stand on my own. So there’s that.

New Years Eve.

January 26th, 2012 by mama marlene

On New Years Eve, the girls got to hang out with their little buddies. Barba Dan was eager to show the kids how to play his new video games.

Mila was really into it. This pictures cracks me up!

Michelle whipped up a fancy meal for us all. Ava picked out this dessert for the kids table. Yumm.

The kids did their best to stay up super late but by 10pm they were wiped out and asked to go to bed. But not before playing with some poppers.

Happy New Year!!

We stayed up past midnight. Obviously.

And they woke up bright and early. I guess they didn’t get the “please sleep in” memo.

She spent a good chunk of her morning drawing the perfect picture.

A picture of exactly how she wants her hair cut today.

Good job, Ava.
DSCN9751

All ready for her second real haircut. (Mama’s haircuts don’t count!)
DSCN9752

Let’s do this!

Mila was waiting patiently… while repeating “Mila no haircut” over and over again. She is not ready to give up her curls, I guess.

All done. So cute, Ava. Just like the picture.

And if you want to go down memory lane like me, here is her first haircut :)

Mila’s biggest fear.

January 25th, 2012 by mama marlene

Mila is our brave little girl. She is a tough one. Not scared of anything. Well, almost anything. She is scared of little babies. She doesn’t even want to look at them.

It’s a little silly how she reacts to them. Some people seem to think it’s going to be trouble with another one on the way. But it’s just a phase. She will outgrow it soon enough. And newborns don’t move as much as these two little boy cousins :)
