Oh where, oh where, ...

... did my Auntie go,
oh where, oh where, can she be?

She's here one week, then gone the next,
then back again to see me.

And on each trip, we play such fun games,
of which I always win!!!

And yes as you know, she still tries to cheat,
which is always so funny to me!!!

Since playing silly games doesn't really matter,
as long as she's close to me!!!

And after many games, we both get so tired,
that we completely pass out asleep.

Busy, busy, busy ...

Avery taking a quick break from
her very busy summer

Things have been so busy this summer, I don't even know where to start ... here's a few video nuggets of what I've been up to so far ...

Too much to do, so I have to multi-task ...




And all the learning activities I must endure ...





And then all the arts and crafts ...

Singing Video-gram for ...

... well, you know who you are (I know you read my blog all the time).

Girly fun things ...

I've been having so much fun over the last few weeks just relaxing around the house and doing all sorts of girly fun things with Mommy, such as ...

Painting each other's toenails ...

... Mommy did a super good job ....

... relaxing poolside with a cool drink
(and lots of sun protection!) ...

... taking a quick dip in the mini-pool when
things get too hot ...

... and then even going to the big pool from
time to time for some super fun playtime!!!

Why is this better?!!??

Avery on her "Starter Potty"

I just don't understand the way grown-ups think. Who in their right mind would prefer the kind of "bathroom experience" where you have to stop in your tracks, search for the nearest bathroom, and then strip completely down to sit on some dirty seat that everyone else also sits on (again, stripped down them self). Does all of that really seem that much more civilized that being able to enjoy the freedom of having a "number one" or "number two" whenever and where ever you want?!!?? If you can't remember this type of freedom I'm talking about, here's a perfect example from a few months ago ... http://averyclaire.blogspot.com/2010/04/youll-never-guess.html

So really, if that's what it takes to be "all grown-up", than I would prefer to just stay the way I am!!!

Mommy and Daddy sooo happy
