It's Apple Pickin' Time!

 Happy Fall!!  It's apple pickin time down here and Daddy and Grandma took us to the farm!

 Uh oh!  What's wrong with this apple?

 Ewww, gross!

 It's rotten!

 Here's a good one for ya!

My vocabulary is expanding.  I now say: Shoes, No, Fight, Please, Cheese, Lilly, Anna, MiMi and...um...well I said "expanding" not "expansive."  Hard to believe I'm almost a bona fide year and a half old.  I'm not a baby anymore!  Mama has been in "baby mode" constantly for the past 3 years it's hard to believe we are out of the woods (almost for all intents and purposes).  It's all so bittersweet.  It all makes Daddy want to procreate again (back off, Dude).
Bedtimes have gotten to be quite fun (and long) since Lilly and I moved into the same bedroom.  Last night Mommy and Daddy heard the following exchange:
"No!"
"NO!"
"NOOOOOOO!"
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!"
Daddy rolled his eyes and looked at Mama and said, "Well are you going to go up there?  It's your turn."  Mama thought, "Eh."  But then after 3 or 4 long minutes of said exchange she walked upstairs and in her best Mommy voice said, "Okay girls, what's the problem up here?"
And Lilly looked at Mama and said in her best "duh, are you stupid" voice, "We're just PLAYING."
And Anna was sitting up in her crib smacking her hand against the rail saying, "Fight!  Fight!  Fight!"
And Mama said, "Oh, well of course that all sounds very good natured and fun.  Good night, girls."
And then Mama was walking down the stairs Lilly said, "Good night Mommy!  I love you, TOO!"
Mommy has been smiling all day because of it.  Except for this morning when we woke up and were major grouches because we didn't go to sleep until well after 9 o'clock and then Lilly had a nuclear meltdown because Daddy had the audacity to give her a peeled banana and I showed Mommy exactly what I thought of her orange juice (because we're out of milk at the moment) when I poured it all over the rug (not the hardwood of course, that would be easy to clean!)
Good times, good times.
Love,
Lilly and Anna
