Water out of the hose tastes good.

So guess who was up at 4am... all of us. Bethany woke up crying which woke Melody up. I tried bringing them in my bed to get them back to sleep. They kept sitting up and singing. The thing that got me to just put them back in their bed and let them cry themselves back to sleep, was when Ms. Melody reached over and pinched my nose and said "honk". Very cute, but not at 4 am. After I put them back in their own beds, they were asleep again within 10 minutes. Thank goodness!

Melody is off running to the swing.

They really do love to swing. They have gotten very good at saying "swing".

They were making a game out of reaching out and grabbing the other chain or trying to kick it with their feet when they got close to it.

Ahhhhhhh... Joe knows what she is doing.

Back inside to the toy room.

So our little Miss Bethany stuck Melody's toothbrush to the door.

I finally got pictures of "daddy" put inside a special book for deployed military parents. They enjoyed pointing out daddy.

Oh no....

I painted the first coat of pink in the girls room. The first picture is the trim.

The girls were dancing to some Michael Jackson.

Out to chase the birds.

They kept running up and down the slope inside the trailer.

Making the wind chime sing.

After I finished watering, they grabbed the hose and started to drink. At least they took turns so they both get whatever parasite is living in the hose.

Back to the swing... we do this several times a day.

They were pushing the bus from one side of the table trying to get it to fall of the other.

For FHE tonight we sung and danced to some songs. This one is of Bethany doing the wheels on the bus.

Melody honking her nose to the bus's horn going honk, honk, honk.

The teapot has tipped over.

Melody decided she didn't want to wear her pants for FHE.

After bath time, the girls ran all around their obstacle course of a room. I plan on painting the second coat tomorrow so why bother moving the furniture back just yet.

They were chasing each other throughout the house.

Melody ran an hid from me when I tried to get her over to get her pjs on. Do you see her peeking through the slates. She noticed quickly that she could hide behind her bed since it was pulled out from the wall.



Stripping in church

Don't miss the two links at the bottom of this post to watch the girls talking to daddy via the web cam.

Yet again the girls woke up way too early. What ever happened to the days they slept in until 7:30-8 am. We were up by 6:00. I brought them in my room and kept the light off. What Bethany is using for a phone is the control to my heating pad. My back still hurts from all the coughing I have been doing. She ended up pulling it hard enough that she unplugged it. I guess I was done.

They were done sitting on the bed. On my night stand I had the remote to the light and my phone. They each grabbed on. Bethany turned on the lights (I was not ready for the brightness yet) and Melody took off with my phone.

So I got them ready for church before I took my shower this morning. I came out to find their dresses on the floor.

Joe's mom was so sweet to make these beautiful Easter dresses for the girls. She knows how difficult it is for me to sometimes get the girls ready so she put Velcro in the back instead of buttons. Unfortunately, it is also very easy for the girls to take off. In church today, while I was bending over pulling Bethany's bloomers back up, Melody took off her dress. Several people noticed the strip show happening in our row.

 The girls really like their belly buttons. They were taking the cord from the toy bus and poking it in their belly buttons. I think Bethany started the game and it caught on. They wanted to do mine, but I didn't let them.

They were so cute in Nursery that I snuck a picture through the window.

Nursery must have worn them out. They passed out on the way home.

I brought them in the house and let them snooze while I made them lunch. They did not budge.

Melody found a new hat.

You would have been so proud if you saw how Melody figured out how to carry both baskets and the bus. She at first tried to carry them all separate, but it was too much to handle. She then stacked the baskets so she could carry them with one hand and the bus in the other.

Bethany was sitting in the chair first and did not like that Melody wanted to sit with her.

Bethany took the handle off the fire place door. Uh Oh... She tried to put it back on but it was "stuck"

Melody really likes these shoes of mine.

Here are a couple of videos taken while talking with daddy via the web cam. Enjoy.
