Life Gets Messy Some Days

3:30pm

We made Chocolate Dipped Strawberries

Notice the drool all the way to his belly button.

Later that same day.....

Refried Beans, Fish Tacos, and Spanish Rice

Isn't life DELICIOUS?!



Color My World

We Love Color!!! 

What a family at the CRAZY T-Shirt Party!  Grace and Anne wanted to be "Yippies" so they had me do "Yippie Braids" for them.  We aren't quite hippies because we are lacking the bell bottom pants, but Yippies are pretty close, eh?

Ale, Maya, and other Kids

Alejandra is five.

Maya is three.

We had the priviledge of watching these two girls for a week while their parents were away for medical reasons.  I've wondered what I've been doing with my days lately, and well....I finally uploaded the camera to discover my days are usually spent with other children!  We love play dates!

Ryan and Ben came over to play StarWars with us while mom went to the doctor.  She delivers twins on Friday.  We expect to see these Jedi's often.

Here is our wild boy play date.  Charlie and Eli (on the left) were here so their mom could help Clifton's  family move (boy on the right wearing Superman Shirt).

Our girls are learning to play with boys a bit better.  However, they are still very girlie and enjoy playing Barbies.  The boys are often found playing Barbies and girl games too.  My favorite is when they all play dress up and I find the boys in the pink fuzzie jacket. I think every little boy has worn it at least once! 

Sew Fun

January: Purchased Fabric on Clearance

February: Found the Pattern for $1

May: Moved into our new place and cut out the skirt

June: Mother motivated me to keep sewing

July: Daughters were persistant in their request

August: I DID IT!!!!

Both girls chose their colors and details.  Anne is a Pink and Purple Purist

Grace went for the Rainbow effect, and I love it!

The day I finished Grace made plans for her next dress....

Halloween is just around the corner and I've got to get busy sewing!

The Timid and The Brave

THE TIMID

Grace was so shy and uncertain about this zip line, despite my best efforts and example. I love how encouraging Anne is in this photo.  She already went down it several times by herself before Grace would attempt it. 

THE BRAVE

Anne turned 3 the week this photo was taken.  So little. So Brave.
