Morgan....a self portrait

So once Morgan started Kindergarten Greg and I decided it was time to treat ourselves to new, fancy phones. Since we weren't paying for daycare every week we decided we owed it to ourselves so we both got new iPhones. While the phones do work great and keep us entertained they also provide numerous ways for the girls to occupy their time. They have their own set of games, they can watch videos and they can take pictures. One day I made the mistake of showing Morgan how to take a picture, so ever since then she loves to take pictures with my phone. At first all we got were pictures like these:

She spent a lot of time taking pictures of the back of my car seat, pictures of her sister, or random things nearby- blankets, food, toys etc. Then I showed her how to switch the camera around so she could see herself and take a picture. One evening I was scrolling through the photos on my phone and I realized that Morgan has been taking a lot of pictures! Below is what I found- I like to call it "Morgan- a self portrait"

There were about 20 pictures like this, so I only chose to include a few. And just last night I realized that she now knows how to take videos with the phone, so I'm sure there will be hilarious videos to add in the future.

We're Back!

After a long hiatus we are finally back! I blame myself for not updating more often, but between computer problems, the wonderful summer weather, work and keeping two little girls entertained, blogging took a back seat for awhile. But I'm recommitting myself to posting interesting tidbits about the Clark Family. Sooooo, you are probably wondering what we have been up to all of these months. I figured it would be easier to summarize our summer and fall in pictures because we have been busy!

We spend a lot of time playing with Daddy's tools. Some of the favorite things are the headlamp and ear phones. For whatever reason the girls love to put the headphones on and then deliberately not pay attention to what I am saying. They think it is hilarious.

We played dress up a lot too. Awhile ago Grandma 'C' and Aunt Kathy sent up a huge box full of dress up stuff. Now that Elizabeth is older, she and Morgan love to dress up. They even pick out shoes and hand bags to match!

We went out for ice cream a lot too. It always seemed to be the go-to event when we were out of ideas. And just so you know, if you take the girls out for ice cream don't plan on them sharing. I was always told "Mommy, get your own!".

We took advantage of the wonderful weather and spent some evenings on the deck of the Broad Ripple Drew Pub. The girls are regulars there and they love it. They even order for themselves now- Hot dog with Brew Pub chips and grapes. And lemonade to drink!

A couple of different times, we took the girls to pick apples at the U-Pick farm. They loved finding the right apples on the tree and then grabbing them. Once we got them home the girls and I made apple crisp for dessert. I think out of these trips I created apple addicts, because Elizabeth could eat at least an apple a day if not more!

We also spent a lot of time at the park or outside. While we have a big swing set at our house, the girls still love to go to different parks to play. I think one of their favorites is West Park in Carmel. They have a huge slide and plenty of open area to run. The girls love to swing, slide and run, and the park has a huge pond so the girls can see the ducks and geese that hang out there. One time we even took bread to feed the ducks.

We've been doing lots of things lately and I will have more specific posts later....I promise!
