This is the conversation I had with Emma last night:
Me:  You're silly
Emma:  No, I'm NOT silly.
Me:  Yes, you're silly.
Emma:  No, I'm NOOOT silly.  I'm BIG Momma!

She then proceeds to sing, "I love me, I love me, I love me!"

Play date with Stella

For once she let me put pony tails in her hair.

Emma & Stella playing in wet sand.

And then cooking their wet sand in the kitchen.

I couldn't resist these butt shots.

That's Emma saying, "cheese."

It may look as though this is a calm, friendly drink of water, but I don't have
pictures of the wrestling match that happened right after this.

Some pictures from our trip home

Fun in the sprinkler at Grandma & Grandpa's in Bismarck.

And no, I don't wear clothes when I don't have to.
