Front Stoop

My two beautiful ladies in jumpers, knee socks, and maryjanes, sitting on the front stoop before school.

And some "out-takes" that are maybe even cuter.  Amara started to cry, and Kiran calmed her down.

"I've been dealing with this for two and half years.  Just let our crazy Mama take a few pictures, and then she'll leave us both alone."

A hug to let Sissy know it's okay.

Fall afternoon.

Hopscotch.  When did she get big enough to learn to play games like this?!

Fun with chalk on the driveway.

Drawing.

Amara didn't even try to eat the chalk!

Ducks! Are! Yellow! Mama!

Very happy to eat the candy apple she made at school.

Totally jealous of the candy apple.

Eating a candy apple whilst riding a chalk-scribbled plastic duck.  Is there any other way?

Facetime with Mema

Facetime with Mema.  And a snake.

Sissies II

...And in Amara's crib this morning.  [Look who has enough hair for a whale spout!!]

Sissies

Sissies playing together in Kiran's bed.  Reminds me of playing with Tata when we were little.

County Fair

We took the girls to the Anne Arundel County Fair.  They loved it!

Here is Kiran with her balloon and her flag.

Buds LOVE horses!

Especially when they get to ride them!

"What the HELL is that?"

Kiran loved the goats and baas.

Pretty much sums up our life right now.  :-)

Petting baas.

A little nervous about the big cows.

That looks like trouble.

Riding a tractor.

"Up, down, up, down, up, down!"

Dada and Kiran on the ferris wheel.

The LAST TIME I will ever let Richard ride on a ferris wheel with Kiran alone.

Richard and Kiran on the big slide: Fun.

Erin and Kiran on the big slide: Abject terror.

Kiran driving the dragon.

Carrots!

Pulling up the carrots!

 Big bunch!

Look who's big enough to help pull the greens off the carrots!

Showing Sissy a carrot.

Pulling greens off carrots.

Very excited to hold a carrot!

So smiley...

More pulling greens...

Whoa, carrot!

Tiny carrots in a tiny hand.

Kiran's harvest.

"No, Mama, I've not been eating any dirt."

That's a lot of carrots!

My little farmers.

Inside, washing carrots.

Carrots for dinner.  Kiran's comment: "I picked this!"  Food comes from the ground!  Lesson accomplished!  :-)

Even Amara got to have some (steamed and pureed)!
