everyday life

everyday life may not be so interesting to others, but for us, this is our life, these are our adventures, this is part of our story. everyday baking. with both girls on the counter, one on each side of the sink, i literally have no room left for my bowls, let alone flour or any other ingredients. sophie is a big helper and puts each cup or teaspoon of ingredients into the bowl, then helps me mix. penny watches on from her seat. everyday reading. i had this romantic idea for a reading corner, complete with pixies, enchanted flowers and ribbons. i may have forgotten that a two year old and her sister would be using it! everyday marching and sock puppets. they seem to go hand in hand, not sure why. i have this tape, yes a tape, that i had as a child, and sophie can not get enough of it. everyday, over and over and over again we listen to "happy and you know it" as sophie calls it. so it would only be fitting that in everyday life, there is a section devoted to sophie and her tape. this is her marching up and down the hallway to "i will make you fishers of men" with her sock puppets on. everyday little girl. into everything, always. i was in the bedroom with penny and could hear a package being opened, you know the noise where it is fairly quite except that one thing that probably should not be making noise! we had just finished making blueberry bran muffins and i guess there were a few blueberries left in the package...but not for long. everyday with us...we roar like lions, we pretend tea parties, we potty train and have accidents, we cry, we jump in puddles after it rains, we do laundry, we dance, we cry some more, we eat..a lot, we laugh hard, we create memories and life together.
