Driver's Ed

This weekend was GORGEOUS in Charlotte. Friday we.....meaning Tom.... cleaned out the garage. Saturday he also cleaned both our cars. The girls loved playing in them while Tom was cleaning.

Audrey making sure the seat belt works.

Both girls buckled up for their "ride".

Audrey's manic steering. She drives like her mom.

Sunday I subbed in Nursery so Audrey got to come play with all the "big" kids. Between playing hard and having late church so no nap, she was exhausted and didn't even make it to the freeway enterance before falling asleep. She was so cute I couldn't help but snap this photo.

I thought I would also include a few Ella-isms for the week.

On Friday our friend Kelly was watching the girls. I went to pick them up and as I was strapping Audrey in her carseat, I noticed Ella was still at the bottom of the driveway. Their driveway has a slight slope, VERY slight. Ella started yelling at me "Mom, come help me!". I turned to ask her why and she said "I can't get up this MOUNTAIN! It is super high. Help! Help!" I couldn't stop laughing. My dream of taking them to Stuart Falls this summer was dashed in that one conversation.

Last night about a half hour after putting the girls to bed, I heard Ella screaming. I was going to ignore her but she has been pooping and taking off her diaper and throwing it over the crib, so I thought I should go see what was the matter. She had obviously woken from her sleep and was still halfway asleep. I asked what was wrong and she said "I's scared". I asked what she was scared of and she told me "I's scared pirates are coming to get me." Hummmmmm. I am not aware of her watching any pirates except an episode of Dora with pirate piggies, but they are nice. When I told Tom he said that pirates ARE scary.......
