What I hate most!

Some of you out there may think I enjoy cleaning... this is not so! I do enjoy a clean house and this is were the cleaning comes to play. But I have the philosophy that if you do not make a mess in the first place that cleaning becomes less time consuming. The only problem with this theory is children! I try not to make too big of a deal about messes and try to keep food in the kitchen and soap in the bathroom... that sort of stuff. But what really gets me is when Ava decides to take toothpaste into her room when she is suppose to be in bed and proceed to cover her babies (animals and dolls) in it! This is the cleaning I truly hate and have a hard time keeping my composure. She also decided to paint her nails in the dark! Luckly that was in the bathroom and she did not spill the nail polish. But is seems that it is 50/50 whether she goes to bed with no problems or problems. And it is hard to know when she is being bad because she is quiet... kinda like when she is sleeping! So what ends up happening is I go up and down the stairs all night checking to see if she is up to no good or in bed sleeping. A couple nights ago she decided to paint my deoderant on the bathroom sink with Stella's toothbrush! I hope it will stop because I think I have hit my breaking point with this girls and her late night science experiments!

My girls at a year

It is funny to see how different yet how similar the girls are at a year old. The obvious difference is HAIR! Ava had a ton and Stella has practically none. But they do look very similar. They both have the same wing out ears and actually have the same teeth popping through! Stella is a petite baby while Ava was average. At Ava's party she made a mess of her first birthday cake while Stella used two fingers and was clean after she ate her cake! But they both enjoyed their cake.
I love this age! It is fun to see them discover and progress in life so very fast. I love my girls and I am so proud of them. I hope they can grow up together to be the best-est of friends!
