Handbags and lipstick

Ava loves to help me put on makeup in the mornings. She is always so cute about it and sticks her face really close to mine when she wants some of what I'm using. Her favorites are the lips and my big powder brush. She's had a rough week of injuries (has a HUGE purple bruise on her cheek from falling into the rocking chair) so we went to Target to get her a set of her own...all plastic of course. She LOVES it! The set came with a mirror compact, lipstick, glasses, keys, a wallet with credit card, and a really cute purse. Well...the purse has gone everywhere since. She puts it on her shoulder while she rides in the shopping cart; even at 6:30 when we went to Albertson's to get Shaun some Father's Day donuts today. Check her out, a girl after my own heart!

Pinwheels ~ Ava's favorite thing in the world

Ava love love loves pinwheels!  Everytime she sees them at the grocery store she gets so excited and starts blowing in the shopping cart.  Lucky for me, they are usually only $1. We found these cute ones at Target and decided to stick them in the ugly dirt patch in our yard so Ava can see them from the window.  I think I will go to Hobby Lobby and surprise her with a GIANT one for the same spot. I'm sure Shaun and the neighbors will just love that.  :)

Playing at the park

We've been having so much fun with the kids back from Maui for the summer. The twins are so sweet with the little girls :)

Ava got a booster!

Ava has been climbing on everything lately.  Today I watched her climb onto the window seat in the dining room and then stretch out a leg to get onto her highchair!!  And she did it multiple times.  I'm thinking it may be time to put the highchair away so she won't get hurt on it.  We went to BabiesRUs and got a little booster seat that straps onto the kitchen chairs instead.  She seems to like it, so here's hoping! 

Aunt Becky brought a package of stick-on moustaches over as well...  :)
