I've been tagged by some friends that have blogs also. This means that I'm supposed to tell you 6 unique things about myself. However, since this blog is about the girls, I'm going to make it 6 unique things about them.

1. Addison bruises like a peach. I'm always finding strange bruises on her, and cannot figure out how they got there.

2. Emma is scared of animals. Dogs, cats, horses, dogs, you name it. But strangely, not bugs.

3. Addison is the better speaker, despite (or maybe because of) speech therapy. She had ECI workers come out for over a year to work with her in speech and occupational therapy. Now she out-talks Emma by a long shot.

4. Emma is the better athlete, but scared of her abilities. She can do anything physical after just a few tries. Addi on the other hand cannot, but thinks she can...it's scary at times.

5. Addison has bone straight hair. That's not really surprising. What may be surprising to some is that Emma's hair is actually curly. The longer it gets the curlier it gets. We brush it into shape every night, although at this length there's not a lot of curl to it.

6. They both LOVE chicken. Especially chicken nuggets! They don't normally want to eat at home (they get enough at daycare), but if nuggets are involved they chow down!

I would tag the 7 people who should do this...but I don't know anyone else that actually reads this blog. So if you're reading it, consider yourself tagged (or not).

No pictures this time, just a couple of funny things:

*My sister picked the girls up yesterday, and Addison saw a $5 bill laying in the seat. She picked it up and said "I got a dollar...let's go to the store!"

*I thought the girls would like going through the automated carwash with me today. I was wrong. They began to shake and cry, telling me to "Go! Momma, Go!"

*Addison just wiped her boogers on my arm. I got onto her and told her to go get me some toilet paper. She came back, not with a sheet of paper, but the twelve-roll package, from which she proceeded to hand me a roll, and go replace the package.

*A few days ago at the sitter's house, Addison started screaming hysterically. Rosemary rushed over to her and asked her what was wrong, to which Addison replied "The bugs bite me!!!" Rosemary looked down and there was a couple of love bugs on her. To calm her, she told her they were just kissing her. So now whenever they land on her she screams (almost hysterically) "They're kissing me!"

Quick Ice Skating Clip . . .

Jarrid's grandma (Nanou) and his parents gave the girls ice skating lessons for their birthday. Here are a few pics of the first lesson. I didn't get many because the girls were requiring a lot of attention. For any other parents considering this, my advice to you is to wear tennis shoes. I nearly had my big toe chopped off by miniature ice skate blades. The girls did really well, though. They stood up, learned how to fall, and chased toys on the ice.

more birthday pics.

Pictures of the girls birthday party. It was a "Splash" theme.

I haven't had a computer in a while, thanks to Total Zone computers. They've been repairing my computer for about 2 months, so I will do a wild recap. First up, pictures from the pool...

We went to the 4th celebration at our local park. They had free tattoos, moonwalks, etc. The girls of course wanted no part of the moonwalk. After dark we watched the fireworks...from inside the car with the windows rolled up and the radio on. They liked the show, but not the sound effects! I could only grab a couple of halfway decent pictures, so here ya go.

We have a share group every Sunday night, where the kids go to another room to play. Here's some pics of the mayhem.

Daddy's shoes.

We finally broke out the slip and slide today. The girls didn't really get the concept. I had to stop the video when the clothes started coming off.

We just got back from a day at the beach. I forgot my bathing suit bottoms, so I'm not in any of these pictures. The girls had a great time...I couldn't believe how excited they were.

Emma got a new haircut. I just couldn't take that shaggy stringy mess anymore. Here's the best picture she would let me take of it.

We got a dog...for a week. Then we had to give it back. This is some video of the girls playing with it.

We went to Camden's birthday party on Sunday afternoon at a local park. Michelle K. took these pictures since I forgot my camera.

Never mind my wreck of a house.

I can't believe I actually got a picture of them together! It's been forever since they let me do that (like since before they could walk).
