Bubbles....everybody likes bubbles.

Last weekend it was really pretty outside so we broke out the chalk and the bubbles. And since the girls were being so cute I broke out the camera too. Below is what I was able to capture on film...it was much more fun in person.

For about fifteen minutes, Morgan blew bubbles at her sister. Elizabeth loved it. She just squealed with delight whenever Morgan would blow them at her. By then end of it Elizabeth was covered in spit and bubbles.

See she is loving it.

After awhile Elizabeth tried to blow bubbles, but she wasn't nearly as good at it as Morgan was.

This picture was taken during the chalk portion of the afternoon. I was actually able to get Morgan to pose for a photo.

Then she was nice enough to pose again.

Miss Elizabeth.

Miss Elizabeth looking very serious. And yes she has a huge bump on her head. That was a whole different story.

Morgan blowing bubbles. She loves bubbles.

Elizabeth's Time Out Experience

We recently decided that Elizabeth isn't too young for short time-outs. Especially when she is hitting people. So last Saturday I was faced with putting her in a time-out for hitting her sister. The whole scenario went a little like this.....

For awhile they were playing chalk very nicely. However at one point Morgan took a piece of chalk that Elizabeth viewed as hers. For a minute Elizabeth sat there and said "No...No...No..." then she got up, walked over to where Morgan was and hit her on the head a couple of times. So fro that Elizabeth had to sit in time-out.

Since we were outside Greg put her on the step in the garage. Far away from all the toys...


She sat there for a good 20 seconds...

She then realized that no one was really watching her closely, so she thought she would get up. Immediately Greg made her walk back to her spot on the step.

What you can't see in this picture is the sad little face she was making. Tears and all. It was like she was doing the walk of shame back to her step. Luckily for Elizabeth her time- out only lasted a totally of 30 seconds. But she didn't hit Morgan for the rest of the afternoon.

The Elizabeth dictionary

For those that haven't seen Elizabeth in awhile you will be surprised to know that she is starting to speak pretty well. She knows quite a few words, but some need a little interpretation. So to give you a jump start on communicating with Elizabeth I thought I would provide a list:

Shue: Her shoes, she absolutely loves her shoes. If you ask her where her shoes are she will drop whatever she is doing to find them.

Uh-oh: Well that is pretty self explanatory.

Bebe: At first we thought she was saying Baby, and actually meant a baby- but we soon figured out she actually meant her blanket.

La Gooooo: This means let's go. Once she figured out you are going somewhere, she gets her jacket and says "La Goooo" really loud.

Buuuhhh Bye: This she also says really loudly and with a southern drawl.

Mine: This is a new word and she really loves to use it with Morgan. And once she declares something as "Mine!" you better not touch it.

Bawlll: No this doesn't mean ball- it actually means Belle, her dog. This and shoe were her first real words.

No!: Again pretty self explanatory.

Oww: I think she learned this from her sister. Now when I comb her hair I hear Owww.

Thank you!: She says this pretty much all the time. Even when she bring you something.
