Friday Favorites

I have decided to occasionally post about Jenna and Ashley's favorite things (and few dislikes of course) as a way to share with family and for me to keep a record for the girls when they are older. I have thought about doing this for some time and just haven't actually done it. So, here goes.

JENNA:

Likes: (These are pretty constant and she has liked the following a long time) Boo, Anything My Little Pony, STICKERS!, "Maggie and the Ferocious Beast" TV show, "Little Einsteins" TV show, Ashley, Molly, playing with Molly and Ashley, ANYTHING to do with arts and crafts

Dislikes: Being told what to do (what kid likes that?), dirty areas, dirty floors

Foods: cheese, mac and cheese, pears, spaghetti-o's (in Dora, princess or just ABC's and 1 2 3's format), lasagna, "Cuppycakes"

Candy: Chocolate Kisses

Colors: pink and white

Toys: Boo (OF COURSE) My Little Ponies, Cabbage Patch newborn dolls (And now they have to use Ashley's bottles and we argue all day about why I won't put actual milk in there for them! Ugh)

Activities: Walking Molly, playing in the bath, shopping, drawing, painting, coloring, sticking stickers everywhere.

Below is a whale she drew on Sunday at the fellowship meal. We had no idea she even knew what a whale was, but there it is - blow hole and all and in the water...
Favorite places to go: the mall, Target (that's my girl!), the Zoo, church, school, "Nanapa's"

ASHLEY:

Likes: Hugs, kisses, her toys, her Jumperoo and walker,
Jenna, playing with Jenna, and Molly. She could stare at Jenna 24/7. She has also just started to wonder about Molly. Jenna was aware of Molly far sooner but Molly was waaaay more curious about Jenna than she is about Ashley. Now we joke that she's afraid that if she acts like she likes Ashley we'll keeping having babies. :o)
Dislikes: The sound of an electric kitchen carving knife (she screams in terror), the flushing of public restroom toilets (she again screams in terror)

Foods: Sweet potatoes, bananas

Colors: red, anything bright really

Toys: her two moo cow toys (she does have an updated "Boo" but prefers these other two instead.) My Little Ponies, doll babies

Activities: Playing in her walker, going for walks, going for car rides

Places to go: Publix, Sunday School class, the Zoo
