Avery's Quote of the Day

Ah, little miss Avery. You just never know what she's going to say, even to the simplest of questions.

She and Morgan built a fort in the family room and they manage to coerce me into letting Avery watch one more show before bedtime. So the two of them cuddled up in there and I hunkered down in the kitchen to watch the season finale of "The Bachelor!" (Who will he choose?! Catherine?! Lindsay?! I say he lost his shot with a closet stalker - AshLee...yes, she capitalizes the L...as proven when she called him out on "The Final Rose - the Women Tell All" ..."Sean, you told me that you didn't have feelings for the other women and now you're sitting here lying to me and all of America...No, AshLee, I would never say that...but you DID Sean!" Ah, the melodrama!)

Anyway, as Morgan was bustling about, Avery was quiet as can be. So I was surprised when she came out of nowhere and exclaimed, "Hi, Mama!"

Me: Hi, Avery! Where'd you come from?!

Avery: (without missing a beat) The mountains (and this was not a huge exclamation. It was stated as a fact).

Me: Oh, that's great! What were you doing there?

Avery: Digging.

Me: Digging for what?

Avery: Kisses!

Morgan: Here, Avery, I'll kiss you!

Avery: NO MORGAN! I'm DIGGING!!!!!

I have no idea.

Here are some pics of Avery:

Laughing hysterically!

Trying to smile...awkwardly...

Trying the "I'm so pretty" pose!

And....half pulling her face off in the process!

And then the girls wanted to have a sleep over in Avery's room. I've never let them do it before, but they were playing so nicely, so I couldn't say no!

Here they are...

And a night night hug...

Granted, I had to go up a few times to get them to be quiet, find a toy, get Morgan to the potty, answer Avery's questions, and her statements, like, "Mommy, I want you to be green"

Yeah, sure, Avery, as long as you go to sleep.

Okay, Mommy.

Let's cross our fingers...
