Nail Polish and Craziness!

As I sit here in bed, listening to Cooper poof fart next to me and happily watching My Little Pony with Morgan and feeling her tiny little fingers caress my arm and wishing that this is what heaven will be, I will say it again - today was a fabulous day! Although the day started with Morgan having a horrible tantrum because she wanted to play downstairs and Avery and I were upstairs putting laundry away (and yes, she screamed for at least 20  minutes in the basement and then finally relinquished and came upstairs), the rest of the day was a whole bunch of fun! We made a cheese omelette for Daddy and Avery carried it in to the family room for him (so cute!) and then we laughed and played with Bayley and all sorts of good times! But here is the cherry on the cake:

Nothing like a two year old with the patience and determination of a stalking predator and all of the artistic skills of a frog.

She desperately wants to be good at this, and granted, she is able to find her toes, but she finds every other part of herself as well!

Here she is, a tenacious little Picasso, abstractly painting a gloriously multi colored and feathered bird onto her foot...

Sydney's reaction to said artwork:

And then she moved on to her hands. Henna-tattoo-ish in nature and phenomenally detailed, she crafted a intriguingly accurate representation of the Mona Lisa.

Or was it Van Gogh's "Starry Night?"

Either way, Morgan, being the competitive sister than she is, had to totally out-do Avery. Here you can see the original impressionist work, "Steaks for a Valentine Present," on her foot.  So interpretive! What a creative monster!

And the two sloppy artists together. Avery is observing Morgan's creative process, intrigued by her insightful use of color and edgy strokes that give her work a definite "feel." Avery is still a budding young blossom who digests every meal that Morgan has to offer. However, let's not forget that Avery has schooled Morgan on a few occasions as well!

And now for some video of the festivities. (Oh...by the way...I had to use a ton of polish remover to erase their whoopsies, but oh well, we had fun!!!)

And Cooper has POOFED a stinky fart at least 10 times in the writing of all of this. Great. So glad she sleeps next to me.

So here are the girls watching "The Lion King!" Avery knows all of their names, and absolutely loves the beginning sequence!

Ah, the joys of life. Or maybe it was just the nail polish and remover fumes!
Either way, good time, good times!

POOF...11...
