Today we took the kids on the metro train to the Ballston Mall for ice cream. It was the last place that Nathan wanted to be on a Saturday but Avalee and Lincoln loved it. We had to wait a while for the train to leave the stations so the kids enjoyed standing up. 
The other day Avalee was doing something she wasn't suppose to be doing. I told her I was going to put her in time out and started counting. I said, "one." Lincoln forceably yelled, "two." I started laughing so hard I never made it to three. I didn't know Lincoln was that smart.
Thursday morning we got in our car and it wouldn't start. We explained to Avalee that something was probably wrong with the battery. As we came back in the house, she ran to the junk drawer found a AA battery and a screwdrier and said, "My Avalee fix it." If only it was that easy!
