Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day! It included trips to the park, lunch at Earth Fare, napping/sleeping in, movies, gardening, and spending time with my loves. Simply awesome.

"Where did the bubble wand go?"

"Jana took it, Mommy!"

(we are seeing a lot of this face lately! ; )


Uncle Jamie will be glad to know we are still getting a lot of use from the horsie!

Yee-haw ya'll.

Julianna ADORES her bike. Every moment of the day she can break away to ride up and down the sidewalk- she does. No exaggeration.

Ava loves to wear these goggles on a regular basis for some reason. : )

Another love.

We're raising a family of gardeners. : )




Friends on a walk just before sundown.

Happy Mother's Day Girls!

DIY Paper Dolls (Girlz Gone Wild Edition)

Several months ago I ran across these WAY cute Holly Hobby print-outs online. In an instant I had a terrific idea...paper dolls. I loved paper dolls as a child. So, I colored and cut and velcroed to my heart's delight...late into the night after the kids were fast asleep. I was so proud to show Chad my handy work the next morning.

"Uh. That's nice." he said with raised eyebrows and a snicker. Hmf. Not very nice I thought, especially after I had worked so hard on them.

I continued to show him how the dolls worked. How the girls could remove the clothes, change the outfits, etc etc. I was quite pleased with myself and was going to convince him, too.

Then it hit me. Right between the eyes.

Just in case it hasn't hit you yet...I'm going to make it painfully obvious. Go ahead. Yuk it up. You're gettin' one of these for your kid's next birthday present. ; )
