long overdue...

i am still not sure why he was wearing my beads in the first place... but they really go well with the fuzzy pink heart blankey... don't you think?

my little Martians...

 as Official members of the New Boston Braves Eva and Cora ran their very first marathon

The Martian Marathon...

stretch it out..

 Arms too...

getting ready with the other thousand or so kids...

She's a serious Athlete " i only walked 10 times!"" she told me...

Thats Cora's Game face... she means business.

i promise Eva ran too, she was just way futher ahead...

a martian medal! woo hoo!

{by "marathon" i actually mean one mile... they were supposed to run during the month and keep track of how many miles to add up to a marathon... it sort of happened}

She's an Actress...

 here she is!!! Co-starring as Witch #2 in her very first off-broadway performance!

and then stealing the show in a supporting role as the Rhino...

 she kept the mask on her face to stay "in character"

 sissy liked the show too...

She's a "Cooker Girl"...

Cora's latest pastime has been working on her culinary skills...

she trains with the best chefs at the Foodnetwork Culinary Institute

...located right in our very own living room...

sometimes even Bobby Flay is her instructor...

Mmmmmm... Tortilla, Carrot, Pretzel, Noodle goodness...

birthday girls...

monsters.

they had a great day... {two months ago} 

about an hour into their party i saw Eva just sitting on the edge of one of the inflatables with these sleepy looking eyes... we were at bouncing off the walls for pete sake! so i asked her what was the matter and she told me she thought she just needed to take a nap... A NAP! 

um... ok then its your birthday...

and then i realized

i gave her cough medicine just before we left for the party...

i drugged my own child...

she left halfway through her own party to take a nap!

sheesh.

Dear Cheese...

"Cheese, I'm in love with you cheese...

you know what,

instead of marrying a boy

I'm gonna marry cheese.."

~Eva

yes, i realize she is eating chocolate in this picture...

"go make your beds!"

and boy did Eva make that bed!

Cora on the other hand... well she's just Cora, She wouldn't be herself without completely ignoring me

honestly though, i am lucky the room looks this good considering they sleep like this
