Evening of Bows

Well, I have to admit that I haven't been in a very good mood today. I think that it is just that I know I have to go back to work tomorrow. I have really enjoyed being home with my kiddos and hubby. I know that the next few weeks, until May at least, will be very busy for us. So this evening I decided to make bows with Andie. She really had a fun time picking out her outfits for the rest of the week and picking out the ribbon to make bows. I will let her use the glue gun for some things, but did most of the put together work myself. I think that they came out pretty cute.

Tomorrow's outfit
Thursday's Easter picnic outfit

Here is my Andie modeling one of her outfits. She really liked all the pink in this one. I am really starting to see just how much older she is. I am just so happy that she is still O.K. with mom putting big bows in her hair.
Avery had to get in on the action as well. She was walking around with this disposable camera snapping "pictures" of everyone.

And then there is Erynn. I am sure going to miss her. Luckily, I only work three days a week.

Can you believe that she is already able to hold her head up so well. It makes me happy to see her growing stronger and healthy, but at the same time she is growing so fast, it makes me sad.

Paying It Forward

I got this off of a friend from HS's blog and thought it was a really cute idea.

Winners must post this challenge on their blog, meaning that they will Pay It Forward, creating a handmade gift -anything!- for the first THREE bloggers who leave a comment on their post about this giveaway!3. The gift that you send to your friends can be from any price range and you have 365 days to make/ship your item.

And hopefully you won't be to worried for whatever I decide to make for you or someone in your family!

For me, it will probably be a bow, ha ha!

Another Video

Since my last video actually worked, I decided to add Avery's ballet dance as well. I think this is a really good idea. She watches herself and does the dance along with the video. I think this is the best way to get her to practice at home.

This post is for Cassandra. She is making her daughter's Easter dress this year and doing an amazing job. I sew once a year, Halloween. I am still very much novice and am so impressed with how great her daughter's dress is coming out. I saw her dress the other day and told Cassandra that I would make her daughter bows for her hair, since mom can now put it into piggies. Here are some pics of the bows so Cassandra can tell me what she thinks.

I personally thought they came out cute. I love making bows for my little girls. It is so much fun getting them dressed up and matchy matchy. Let me know what you think Cassandra. Do you think the color will go? I hope so!

Avery at Dance

We went to go watch Avery at her dance class this last Wednesday. I taped her class, so here is my attempt to upload it.

Avery is dancing to "Under the Sea". "The Little Mermaid" is her favorite movie and Ariel her favorite princess. She has so much fun at dance and I am so glad that I can share this with others now!!

Anxious for Summer

My Avery got herself in the bathtub today. She called me and told me she was a mermaid in the tub and that she had her suit on. This is what I found.

Avery loves the water and I guess she can't wait to start swimming. She actually wore her swim suit most of yesterday, until I made her take it off and get dressed.

I too can't wait for the weather to start warming up. Not much longer!!

New Blog

So I have decided to start a new blog, one to chart my progress on my way to a healthier lifestyle. I have mentioned that I started WW and my new blog is dedicated to the ups and downs of losing weight. Here is my link if you are at all interested, it is really just to help motivate me through the next few months to year.
