The Fighter's

The highlight of today… My team at work was having lunch at Steak and Shake, so I took the girls to meet them (keep in mind I work in the Finance department, and although a great group of people...we have our share of "stiff" personalities)! At first Ava was shy, and Katelyn just stared at everyone, but as the lunch progressed…my daughters kept it real... Katelyn’s diaper leaked while a co-worker was holding her. Oops. Ava began giving our CFO extreme force high fives (wind up included). He is a grandpa of 6, so I’m thinking he enjoyed it. But I had to tell her to lay off after a few heavy smackers. Katelyn entertained everyone by blowing raspberries (and peas) out of her mouth. Laughter only encouraged her and before I knew it, her face (and the table) was caked in peas.

Ava poutily runs to me and says..."Mommy...Daddy told me no, Daddy like Grumpy Bear" (referring to cartoon Care Bears).

It was a miracle considering we usually go there for a few things and end up walking out with a cart full! We went for blueberries & strawberries and came out with both those things + coffee. Not too shabby. Also stole a few shots of the girls in the grocery cart! Summer fun in the back yard baby pool. Ava likes to put her slide into the poo...

Love how enthusiastic kids are about simple things. We broke out the hot air popper tonight! Waiting... Anticipation... Popcorn!!
