Tea Party and Leprechauns

Jared had a guys morning planned for Saturday morning so the girls and I had a tea party at home. They loved using special plates, napkins and real coffee cups. It is impressive that we didn't break anything! We also made some yummy cinnamon rolls. We missed Daddy but had a fun girls morning at home.

When Jared came back we all went out to run some errands. When we got home *gasp* a leprechaun had been in our house. Wow! We tried to trap him with a leprechaun trip Matney made at school but we didn't catch him. The girls were excited that he used their potty and left them each a green dollar. It goes without saying that we spent the afternoon going to the candy store. That dollar was burning a lollipop size holes in their pockets!

Phone dump

 Here are some pics of the past few weeks from my phone.
The top is HK and Robot going to pick up Matney at school.

The girls LOVE LOVE LOVE Cici's Pizza, esp the breadsticks. This day HK wore her best outfit and sunglasses. She wouldn't take them off and kept walking into things because they have stickers all over the lenses and she couldn't see.

When Jared is home in the morning the girls just want to cuddle with Daddy.


Jared was home early one afternoon so we had dinner at CFA. Both girls had to sit by him. I was all alone on the other side of the booth just eating my salad in peace. It was great!

One day when J got home we had a picnic for dinner. The girls thought it was awesome to eat on the floor!

Big Girl Beds

This is the beginning of the end...here are the girls in their last day in "baby beds". HK went to a toddler bed and Matney got a big girl bed. They were so very excited but I am sure feeling like my babies are growing way to quickly!

I also repainted that framed box about M's bed for the 10+ time since she has been alive. I cannot ever find a color that works but this time I think I got it right! Her new bedding has teal and takes some of the "pinkness" out of her room.

In case you didn't know, helping Daddy put together a bed requires a princess costume and a magic wand.

Will add finished room photos tomorrow. Sorry, Sassy. They are on my phone and I can't get them to upload right now!

Refinish project

Easter 2012 - con't

What a difference 16 hours makes...we went from Easter dresses to a TowMater costume in a short amount of time. At least we know Robot will always be included. We went to a Saturday night service that our church did this year so went spend Sunday at home playing together.

It was a beautiful day. We washed cars.

We painted in the garage.

We rode trikes and relaxed under trees.

Then we got on swimsuits and got ready to play in our new hopscotch sprinkler that HK got from the bunny.

We also made our Easter birds nests. The girls sure do love chocolate! It was an awesome day at home together. Jared and I spent time talking about how very blessed we are and how thankful we are for all that the Lord has done in our lives over the past 7 years.

Easter Morning

Happy Easter! Look, the Bunny came while we were asleep!

Wow! Great job, Bunny!

Look at that flying hair. She was so excited to get out of bed.

Bathtime Rapunzel and a bunch of lollipops...what a great start to the morning! Thank you Easter Bunny!

Easter 2012

Happy Easter 2012! If HK was going to be in the picture so was Robot. The longer I have been a mom the more I sure have learned to pick my battles.

These girls were not interested in pics with mom or dad.

Cutest girls ever!!!!

Chomps!

Meet Chomps! He is HK's "crocogator" and he lives in a "cage" under my craft desk. HK makes sure he is well fed. I have tried to move him to her room but he always shows back up. Silly girl!

Rescue

she is hard to see in the background but the princess has been rescued by spidergirl. Everyone rest well right now.

Trading

The girls have been so loud and not helpful for a headache that I think I will travel with Robot and Bunny from now on!
Just kidding, well not about their loudness, we cleaned the car seats today. They were sooooo gross and nasty. The fabric cleaned up in the wash and then I scrubbed the seats. I am seriously shocked that we haven't all died from some horrible bacteria because they were so disgusting. We have friends who don't allow their kids to eat in the car and I have never understood how they could pull that off. After seeing those seats I may need to figure it out! Before the seats went back in the car several of critters in the house got to go for a ride.
