Partying with Princesses

So, talk about rejuvenation. Last week, I took a day off work and traveled up to Idaho to babysit my two nieces Sadee and Ava, who of course love me. Sadee had tried to sit outside on the porch all day "Alisa is coming, I'm waiting out here for her mom", but alas, she couldn't sit out all day until 10 at night when I arrived. So, when I got there, the excitement and hugs I get from these two little girls just made my day. Seriously, I am not a mom myself yet, but if it is ANYTHING at all like being an aunt to Sadee and Ava, I may die of feeling loved. Love just comes off those two girls for me, it was the BEST. Here are some of our adventures.

Ava LOVES this little blue hat. She walked around all the time with the blue hat. When we were outside, it was so funny to watch her try and not have it blow off in the wind.

Ava is now into this huge thing called "watch". She says Watch in the cutest way, and looks at you so you watch her do a trick. Literally, she would say "watch!" (left picture) about 10 times in a row, and even though I would be looking at her the whole time and after each rendition of watch I would say, "I'm watching you Ava", she still said Watch. Then after the 10th time, she says OK, and does the trick, which usually consists of jumping on the bed, or sliding off the couch. It was TOO hilarious.

This is Ava after you "watch her", of course all smiles.

Okay, so Sadee and I, during Ava's nap, printed off pages (her FAVORITE thing to do) from the computer and we color them. We also found paper crowns to print off, so we each printed off our own crowns and colored them.

Sadee colored her very own. She even took the picture of me in my crown (pretty good huh?).

And the reason why we have a full body shot of Sadee in the crown, is because, being the princess she is, she wanted everyone to see "her beautiful red dress". A true princess at heart.

Every time I go to visit, I have to "draw pictures" for Sadee. These always consist of the Princesses, Belle, Ariel, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderalla, etc. Sadee thinks I "draw good" and "pretty" but she is kind of Nazi about how I draw the people. Everything needs to look exactly like the pictures, so this picture was the first time I got the Beast so he "didn't look funny". I had to include it. Let me know if anyone is interested in purchasing said picture :)

During the sleepover, we had a dance party...which consisted of excellent dance moves by Sadee (see above picture---can't you just see her on the show So you think you can Dance?) and a few moves by Ava. Ironically, Ava loves dancing even more than Sadee.

So, this is Sadee eating "fire chips" otherwise known as Doritos. Now I call them fire chips. I asked her why she called them fire chips and she said it's because they are red and fire is red. Apparently, I know nothing about fire...

So, the picture isn't super clear, but this is Sadee on her bike. She only wanted to ride it around in the garage, but it was still cute :)

So, this was when Sadee and Ava and I ran races. As you can see, Sadee always outran Ava... her pants kept falling down because they were too big :)

As always, I'm REALLY looking forward to the next play time with my princesses!
