Random Pictures

We felt bad about the lack of pictures to post last week, so we tried to take some pictures of our uneventful week and here is the result. We use the little basket pictured below to store books on our main level. Ashley's favorite activity is to empty it out as soon as I put the books away. One day, I looked over and saw her emptying the basket and then work very hard to climb into the basket (another favorite thing to do) while is was still on the lower level of our endtable. She sat in there for a good 5 minutes and when I finally decided to take a picture, she climbed out just before I could get a shot. Alyssa, as usual, is happy to do anything that her sister does that we see as funny or picture worthy. So she climbed into the basket so we could get a picture of her. I think she was disappointed to discover that she didn't fit in that position as well as Ashley.
Here is Ashley on a different day sitting in her favorite basket. I'm not sure why Alyssa has that facial expression because I didn't take this picture.
I just liked this picture of Ashley because it shows that she really does have hair. In addition, that hair is also showing signs of being curly. She also just looks very happy.

Here is Alyssa with her breakfast of choice. She wants me to buy these every time we go to the grocery store and I finally got to the point of being sick of eating them. On this particular day, I let her pick out one donut and her choice was this blue sprinkle one.

I didn't take this picture either, but it made me laugh because Alyssa looks like a little tiger in it.

On a side note, in case anyone has noticed the condition of Alyssa's legs, don't be alarmed. She seems to take after me and bruise very easily. And she is still learning how to walk in her summer sandals.
