The Fighter's

Imagination.  I love it!  And what I love even more...watching my girls start to use theirs. Check out this set up Ava came up with...using her own little thinker.  Lately she has been diving into the world of dolls....dressing them up, doing their hair, creating conversations between them...putting them to bed every night right beside her own bed.  Doug calls them creepy Ariel's.  Ha!  ...she made pillows out of rolled up socks, covered them up with her blankets and put her very own pj's on them to keep them warm.  She has since moved the bed down to the floor beside her bed, complete with pillow and blankets.  She is funny to watch...every night she has to make sure they are lying perfect distance apart and perfect height on the pillow:-)  ...and my favorite...a "closet" & "hangers" out of one of mom's wine glass charm racks.  See their little clothes hanging where wine charms usually hang at get togethers...  Keep u...

We have been cooped up this winter but the girls have been making themselves busy...playing princesses, dolls, coloring (LOTS of coloring), reading books, riding scooters in the basement (Ava held a scooter training class for Kate one day - I couldn't stop laughing!). They have even started to include Olivia. She runs around behind them...usually taking their stuff and pushing their buttons. But she has started to get the hang of playing with her big sisters...and when she's cooperating...Ava & Kate just eat her cuteness up! Loving this early sisterhood bonding. I keep telling Ava & Kate how lucky they are...not only are they sisters but they have their very best friends living right under the same roof with them. Permanent playmates (whether they like it or not:-)).  I absolutely love these pics of Ava & Olivia - the way Lou is looking at her big sis and visa versa!  Ava showing her the ropes on ring around the rosie.  And last but not least -...
