You've heard of "Monkey See, Monkey Do", well at our house we seem to have "Sister See, Sister Do".

For quite some time, Allison has tried to copy the big kids. She puts her clothes in the hamper, puts her dishes in the dishwasher and stuff like that. Well, recently she has become especially enamored with her big sister. Whatever Gabrielle does, Allison has to do to, as you can see in the previous post with her having to have the hood of her sweatshirt on.

I always do Gabrielle's hair with her sitting on the bathroom counter with her feet in the sink, Allison has now decided that she needs to do the same thing AT THE SAME TIME. If you spray Gabrielle's hair with water, you HAVE to spray Allisons. The same goes for hairspray and everything else. Until the other day, I could get away with pony or pigtails in Gabrielle's hair and just putting a couple of barretts in Allisons. As you can see in the pictures below Allison was absolutely insistant on having ponytails too....she was shoving the hair rubberbands at me until I gave in. I started the task thinking it was useless, but low and behold I managed to get 2 tiny little pigtails in her hair. She is now so proud to be, once again, like her big sister.

Baking Cookies in our new Sweatshirts

On Saturday, I spent the day with 4 other friends from the neighborhood at the outlet mall in Howell, MI. We had a lot of fun. I got new sweatsuits for the girls and a couple of sweatshirts for Nicholas from the Carter's outlet. I got quite a bit of other things too, but that is besides the point. Anyway, Sunday when the kids found out what I bought they had to wear their new duds of course. We were baking cookies in the afternoon and Gabrielle decided to pull her hood up over her head. The next thing I new Allison did the same thing. It was really cute. Sunday afternoon, the kids and me usually do some type of baking, so I got some pictures of them helping add the ingredients to the mixing bowl.

Gabrielle has decided that the dust buster type vacuum we got to clean up the wood floors after meals is just her size. Recently, she has decided that she wants to vacuum after dinner.
