New Kitchen

We built our own new kitchen, for Sarah that is and the other kids too.  We painted two cardboard boxes and did some cutting. We even have toaster oven behind the cutting board.  It is complete with a sink, fridge (under the sink), oven, stove and counter top.  Dan thought painting made the "best day ever".

Who needs a lemon aid stand?

Abby created a craft stand in our front yard.   

 Daniel wanted to join the fun by selling dinosaur drawings and other animals he loves.  

Meme and Paca were their only customer's but I think they had fun.  

Welcome to Our New House

This is our charming new house.  It was built in the 1920's and full of character, and oh, we got it for a deal.  

If you would like the see the rest of the house, it is posted on youtube. 

It is a lot of videos and they are listed upside down.

The Black Marker

I was sorting through my spices, which requires a black marker to label the tops of the bottles. 

However, when I got up from the table, Sarah found another way to use the black marker, yet again.  

Although she thinks she having a great time when she finds a black permanent marker under a chair and decides to decorate it and the lamp shade next to it, she thought her skin would be more fun this time.  

Fourth of July, 2012

Happy 4th of July everyone from the Aiello kids.  

Sarah has turned TWO!

 Sarah got a new bike for her birthday.  

 She wanted to show off her new sunglasses and necklace at Meme's and Paca's.  

(She already had the costume on for the day and wouldn't take if off.)

 Cake and ice cream at the grandparents.

So, how do we describe Sarah at this stage of her life?  She is determined and a show off.  She loves to dress up to get attention.  She uses her face a lot to express her thoughts. She loves to follow Daniel around and now likes to make tootie noises and laugh at herself.  Aren't we so glad for his example?  She is also VERY loud when she is expressing her frustrations at anyone, much like Dan.  She loves to try to sing songs at home and says parts of prayers by herself.  She talks a lot, but isn't always very easy to understand yet.  She is a mama's girl and a Meme's girl.  Most importantly, she loves to smile and play with her brother and sister.  We love you Sarah.  

Smile...
