A Rainy Monday

Play-doh!  Always a winner.

Ava got a lot of money in the Easter egg hunt at Aunt Jody's yesterday.  She was much more interested in that than chocolate.  She has asked many times since then if we could go to Wal-Mart to buy a toy.

Goofing off with Joel on his lunch break.

Playing in the rain!

Drying off the swing.

We worked on our alphabet puzzle.

Ava said, "How 'bout I wear 2 dresses?"  (And when she changed into pj's for her nap she said, "You 'member that time I wear 2 dresses?  That was funny!")

Fun with blocks.

Practicing their photography skills.

Reading time before their nap.

And BREAKING NEWS!!!

Ava slept with a blanket on last night for the first time in at least a year, probably longer.  She told Joel she was cold so he brought her this quilt and after much hesitation, she agreed to sleep with it on.  I used to cover her up with a blanket after she'd fall asleep and she'd either wake up during the night crying about it or I would find it on the floor the next morning.  But she slept with it all night and here she is getting ready to take a nap today.

Gracie wanted her picture taken as well. =)
