Calling all Cowgirls and Cowboys

Mai and Ava were invited to a party that included hayrides and animals. I have posted a lot of pictures but they had so much fun I couldn't choose.

Cowgirl Ava ready for a hayride.

And Cowgirl Mai

After the hayride and some food it was straight for the animals.

Mai made it her mission to feed everyone.

She loved the Lama. Can't say I have ever been to a party with a Lama...

She wanted to feed the really little spotted piggy but the bigger black one was getting in the way.

She named him "Bad Piggy".

After everyone was fed. She decided she needed to pick everyone up.

She did take a short break for a pony ride.

Ava LOVED the pony - which given her history with animals surprised me.

She would have ridden the pony all night but had no interest in petting or feeding the other animals. She watched from the outside of the fence and was perfectly happy.

They let the kids help "catch" the animals to put them back when it was over.

Mai likes a challenge.

Gotcha

They even helped carry them back to the trailer.

It was a fun party and a great night!

You know they've had fun when after their bath they are still dirty!

Crazy Kid

This is what Ava looked like when she came downstairs from taking her nap at Lyndsey's house today. She apparently had some lip gloss in her pocket that Mai had gotten from a birthday party. Her lips must have been REALLY dry?

She might need some make-up lessons.

Silly girl.

This makes me happy.

New landscaping.

The best part is I didn't have to do it!

I would show a before and after of this bed in the back but the before was too embarrassing to share. I had big plans... that I never followed through on. They transplanted the things from the front to the back and I think it's perfect.

Yippee! So glad to have this done.

Big Sisters

With Certificates to prove it!

Mai and Ava got to go to a Siblings class at the hospital today. What fun! They made picture frames that we are supposed to take to put in the baby's isolate when the big day gets here.

Here is their finished product.

They got to practice diapering and swaddling their own babies.

I love how Ava got her baby all comfy

They also got a tour of the rooms where we would be staying. I think the favorite part was the visit to the nursery to see the babies! Mai was right up front asking questions and soaking it all in -

When we were leaving Mai told me she wanted to get her baby now. I told her it wasn't quite time we had to wait for the baby to get bigger. Her response- "I don't want a big baby I just want a little one".

I have a whole list of things that I need to get done to be ready but I think Mai and Ava are all set to be big sisters.
