so i had a great time on my trip and all. but i always miss the girls and jimmy so much when i'm gone. and i get super excited to come home that usually i cut my trip really short and try and take like the first flight out on the last day. i'm a sap like that, i guess. oh, side note.... i forgot to mention that jimmy did an amazing job with taking care of addie and ellie while i was away. he had help one day, but he took the kids to a birthday party on saturday and to church on sunday by himself.... bathed them, fed them, dressed them, fixed addie's hair, etc. so major props to him for being a great daddy! Thanks, Jimmy, you da man! anyway, i come home on sunday and hugged the girls for about an hour long.. hehe jk. and then we all lounged around together for the rest of the day.. it was nice.

so here is what they like to do these days. addison is trying to get ellie to play with her lately. ellie usually has no clue what's going on (so i think)... but i think after observing addison dress up so much, she's kind of getting into it too!



addison calls ellie "the assistant fairy". looks like they're going a trip somewhere. santa fe, maybe?? haha



playing superhero. the backwards apron on ellie is supposed to be a cape. hey, whatever works!



just chillin'. bought this hideous tinkerbell chair from babies r us. why, oh why, did addison talk me into buying this??? yuck. just when i thought i was done buying toys and kid stuff, i go out and buy this obnoxious purple, hard, uncomfortable arm chair which will be useless after the age of 5. sweet.



random picture... but just wanted to share. the best 1 cent purchase i've ever made. 1 penny gets you a ride on "sandy" the horse at meijer's.... made a little girl's day. :)
