Between rain storms we snuck outside to get more tomatoes from the green house and let Avi wander. Avi enjoyed fresh tomatoes from the plants. After Gage woke up from his nap I brought him out and fed him in the atrium area- it was nice to sit with dahlias and snapdragons in October. Avi had fun climbing in and out of the chair next to us as Gage ate.
Gage is army crawling- he advanced quickly to a very proficient scoot. I am thoroughly impressed! It is so fun to watch him move around the floor. He is thoughtful and very directed in what he does.
Goodness I can't remember what I last wrote... did I mention that we are trying for the house again? same price- here we go again.
Avi was so cute playing with the Fisher Price animals today- I heard her say, "hello cow....." when I came over all the animals were in a circle facing each other, and later she was "sharing" her apple slices with a giraffe and a zebra. She loves to put on a bag and a hat and say "I'm ready to go!". The other day she got out a rag and told me, "I'm cleaning the floor" she was scrubbing away- I think it was great when scrubbed it with her foot, like her lazy mom does sometimes... Avi loves to wash her hands!! She has a little step stool that she can pull herself up enough to reach the faucet to turn on the water- and her favorite is the bar soap that she calls "baby soap"... I don't know why. She loves string cheese- if you open the fridge you are bound to hear a chorus of "string cheese, string cheese!" She is just such a cutie pie!! Yesterday I curled her hair for the first time. I didn't have any product and the bottom came out quickly, but oh well! she was still so cute.
Right now her favorite cousin is Lilli. She is getting to notice Darin a little more, though playing with him usually quickly results in tears.
Sweet and Sour chicken tonight from Mel's Kitchen Cafe site- it is the best recipe I found for sweet and sour so far- but it was a little strong on the vinegar- I'll have to try reducing it... I made black bean and corn salsa today as well- thus the trip to get the tomatoes from the green house.
We watched the final presidential debate tonight. I plan to vote for Romney. I don't love everything he is planning to do (like cutting education), but for the most part I think he will really do a fabulous job- if he can really do what he is planning to do. I love that he is willing to go through and do cuts- to really work to balance the budget. I believe it is critical for the future of our country. I also think his vice president did really well in his debate. I am pleased to vote for them after watching the debates.
