Similar, no?

Yesterday I spotted this story on NPR.org about music. Those who know me know that music isn't really my thing--odd but true.

However, this silhouette (sans ear buds and iPod, of course) has my same hairdo!How stylish I am and didn't even realize it! (Ha!)

Bank deposits

I'm amazed at what Lucy, our two-year-old, picks up from simply watching me go about my day.

I brought her to the car so we could run our errands for the day. She insists on getting in all by herself so I usually let her while I get Elizabeth into her car seat base on the other side.

Today Lucy climbed into the driver's side, sat down, and opened the console in between the front seats. She pulled out the Sovereign Bank deposit envelopes I keep there and found my pen.

Here is what she did while I finished up with Elizabeth.
I know I'm the mom, but I am a bit impressed.
Here is a detail:
Then I asked her to get into her seat in back and she told me that, no, she wanted to drive instead. Nice.

Sunday morning

Fall photos

I hope it's an expected indulgence that my blog has become a spot for me to show my two little girls---especially since Elizabeth is still so new and Lucy is such fun.

Yesterday we tackled the leaves in the front yard.Where'd Lucy go?
We plunked Elizabeth in the middle of the pile.Here Elizabeth sits in the yard with a leaf Tim propped in placed.
And then Elizabeth fell asleep. Ha!
And for fun, here is a photo of Lucy and Elizabeth in their Halloween costumes.
Lucy could have been a bunny or an alligator and she chose the alligator. Who would have thought?

On the sofa

Here Lucy and Elizabeth hang out together on the sofa.Lucy loves to be near her sister, 'Elizabeff.'

She was playing with a scarecrow.
And I do love how Elizabeth doesn't take her eyes off it!

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin carving

Lucy and Elizabeth have both been a little sick with coughing and sniffles, but still we've been doing all those fall-type things you should do.We have three carved pumpkins with one saved for tomorrow.Lucy even enjoyed "The Great Pumpkin" despite the oddity of the World War I flying ace.
I can't wait to get them in their costumes and get photos of that!
