Tea Party

A Tea Party...outside...at dusk. She was entertaining her "friends" with tea and cake with different toppings. By "friends" I mean her real friends, but they are imaginary at our house at all hours of the day and night. It is not uncommon for at least 3 of her "imaginary friends" to be eating dinner with us, playing in her room or riding in the car with us. Needless to say, I am exhausted by the end of the day- taking care of 5 kids is hard!

Play-doh art

She insisted that I take pictures of her play-doh art. I am telling you- when she is famous one day you will be able to say you knew her when.

Baton Rouge Zoo Field Trip

Today, instead of school, we all went to the Baton Rouge Zoo. And of course, Emerson and Oliver did not take a step without the other. They had fun and Emerson was asleep in the car by the time we got out of the parking lot. I call that a good time.

They could have cared less about the black baby rhino that was born here a few months ago.
I was not a good photographer today, but it was very difficult to catch these two standing still to take a picture.

Bag Lady

Monday, on what she thought was a cool morning, she dressed her self to go outside and play. Seriously, this is how she told me she was going outside the play in the backyard. Oh OK. All of this get up over her nightgown of course. After maybe 8 minutes outside she was burning up and came back inside to take all of this off. FUNNY.

School field trip to the Fire Station

Today was the school field trip to the Fire Station across the street from Jefferson Baptist. The kids had a great time and learned alot.

Emerson and Sawyer.

Emerson and her pal Oliver. Let me mention that this is the 3rd year they have gone to school together and they are inseparable at school. They toured the fire station today mostly hand in hand.

This is the one picture where Emerson and Oliver are not together!

Look at her hair!

I am not sure if you call this fashion forward or backwards, but Emerson insists on wearing headbands or necklaces, as seen here, around her head like a gypsy or something. She does her hair all by herself and is very proud of her accomplishments.

This was yesterday while playing around the house still in her nightgown at 3pm.

Eli Lambert Avery

LOLA IS A BIG SISTER! Her brother Eli was born on Sunday, November 1 and weighed 9 lbs. and is 21 inches long. Mom and baby are fine. As for Lola, she is not too impressed and would much rather have ice cream!
