Super Princess Ava!

We just can't seem to get enough of dressing up as a princess...Ava even gave herself a new name: Super Princess Ava!  Ironic, since her Barbie costume actually comes with a little cape...of course it's shiny gold and bright pink, but still...!

With Halloween coming up, we've been trying to decide what Ava should be.  She was stuck on Santa for a while, and then we hit the insect track (butterfly, ladybug, bee), and I think we've finally landed on Alice in Wonderland.  I found a really cute costume for her and now we're reading the AiW story at night, so she knows who she's dressed up as.  I'm just happy we escaped the princess theme this year...especially since EVERY day is princess day at the Goers' house!


She's got the over-the-shoulder look down!


Life doesn't get much better than this!



I checked on her last night before bed...looks like she fell asleep right in the middle of reading.  I feel a little bad for Black Bear...she's got him firmly by the nose.  Of course, as soon as I turned off her pink flower light, her eyes popped open and she wanted to read some more.



She's begun to say the sweetest things, like, when I tell her that I love her, she kisses me and tells me that she loves me the most.  However, with the sweetness comes that sass again...today I peeked in on her while she should have been napping. 

Instead, I found her playing with her Little People set, and when I asked her to lay down and take a nap, she just looked at me and said, "Bye!"  And she fully expected me to close her door and leave her alone. 

Every day it's something new with her...and we totally look forward to laughing (or try to hide our laughing) along with her!

Every family needs a Super Princess, and Super Princess Ava has my vote! BTW, glad you're getting started with AiW early...it's a weird and wonderful story even for adults. Great amusement when in Africa last year...but I'm not sure I understood everything I read.

Oh, I was looking forward to seeing Santa trick-or-treat photos! I think Alice will be cute, though!

Snuggly Warm

It's the time of year to be cozy, so there's nothing better than sitting in front of a warm fire, reading a good book/watching a good show, and enjoying the glow of the Christmas tree. Even Pria thinks so! Pria was avoiding the vacuum earlier this week...she loves to be on Ava's bed! Getting cozy inside of a little fortress After a fairly busy week at school, work, and extracurricular activities, we all enjoyed a night at home on Friday. G and I built gingerbread houses (they both look a little sad, but we had fun), and then we all played Tractoropoly for a few hours. Turns out that G was stockpiling money, so we need to figure out his secret on how to save! Love Ava's face and hand placement here And we can't forget all of the treats that George brought this week! Sunday, December 10 "Can you get a bullseye?" Monday, December 11 "I'm brining Christmas Cheer, by singing loud for everyone to hear!" Tuesday, December 12 "Don't be the o

Barbie & George

We had a fun week to wrap up November. Last Saturday, Scott and I enjoyed a nice dinner out, and then a spontaneous trip to Home Depot...and we got some new exterior Christmas décor! But more important was the time spent together. Plus, it started to snow, so the view from the restaurant was beautiful (but the drive home was a little sketchy.) On Tuesday night, Ava and I headed out to the Mall of America to experience the Malibu Barbie Café. We had a blast exploring the area, eating the yummy food, and then shopping for a bit. It was a wonderful night evening spent together. Even the drinks were pretty! My Avocado Toast & salad Ava's Paradise Pancakes On Friday night, my book club gathered for our holiday party and it was a blast! We had such a good time chatting, eating, drinking, and finished off the night with a book exchange. I cherish and deeply appreciate the friendships that have developed with my neighbors because of this book club. And to really kick off the holiday se

Last Week of School & Work 2023!

We just wrapped up the final school and work (for Dee) week of 2023! The kids both had spirit week/dress up days this past week, and there were fun parties for G, and a holiday assembly for Ava. Kirk Cousins (Vikings QB) was the surprise guest speaker at RHS this week. Ava doesn't really follow football, so when she texted me a few pics during the assembly, she said "The one guy is here. Football" Hahahaha! She mentioned she heard a rumor that SpongeBob was going to be there, but alas, just a pro football player. What a neat surprise for the kids (except for Ava, lol) I had a few fun events this past week, as well. We had a happy hour/celebration for a completed project at work on Tuesday night, and then my neighbors/book club headed out to the local winery for a cookie decorating event on Thursday evening. I'm happy we don't have a full calendar next week! Swimming was unexpectedly cancelled on Monday, which was A-OK with us. G has some congestion, so I was going
