Seen and Heard

Here are some of the things seen and heard around our house...

SEEN: 2 kids dressed in red, white and blue (or whatever version of them I could find in their closet)

We had a pretty low key 4th of July. We went to my sister's house the day before to do some swimming. Ava  decided that she was not going to like the pool on that day and Noah was so serious checking everything out. It was just nice to have a 3 day weekend with all of us home.

Heard:
Here are some of the things that Ava has been saying lately. They have come out of nowhere
"Mommy, How was your day?" (She hears me ask Mike that every night at dinner.)
"No, that's my butt" (As I try to pinch her naked bottom)
"I have to go pee-pee" ( We are officially potty trained, day and night trained, no more diapers, sniff, sniff)
"Boo" (She will greet daddy from behind the couch when he comes home and she shouts, BOO!)
"Mommy, are you coming?" (She will ask each person in the house when we get ready to go to the store.)
"That's mine" (Everything is Ava's)
"I don't believe it" (This came out of nowhere after I told her that we were out of some snack)

Seen: Mike built Ava a "spaceship". She put all her animals in it with the flashlight. It didn't last long as she kept saying there were monster's in there. (It was actually just Tex the Armadillo, who is the grey animal in her spaceship)

Heard: From down the hallway, Mike and I heard a door open and then a little girl's voice saying "Hey, where are my animals". It was Ava, who had gotten out of her bed from the nap we had just put her down for, opened her door and she came right out of room and was ready to play. Ummm. yeah... that isn't going to happen again.

Seen:  Bobo with his many band-aids from tripping. Every day Ava comes up to me and says Bobo has a boo-boo-owie and he needs a band-aid. When I ask her what happened, she says that he tripped. At one point we had 4 band-aids on his tummy and one band-aid on each of his feet.

Heard: Ava loves books. There is one book in particular that she loves and it is "Blue hat, Green hat" by Sandra Boynton. She reads this book to us. I love to listen to her.

Seen: Ava dancing like a fish. I don't know where she got this "fish dance" from, but it will make you laugh EVERY...TIME...

Heard: Mike and I talking about our workouts. We rejoined the gym 5 weeks ago and are loving getting back into it. Right now, I am able to go on the weekends and 3 days a week while my mom is here helping out. Once she goes back to school, I will have to motivate myself to work out at home, yuck!

Seen:  The 2011 Tour de France on TV. I love the month of July and I love the Tour. This year has not been disappointing either.
