Random Photos

There is really no point to this post other than to show some of my favorite new pictures of my girls. I think they are just about the cutest things around and pretty funny too.

A couple of days ago we were watching VeggieTales - Sumo of the Opera, and Larry who in this episode is the Italian Scallion was training for a sumo match. Well, I look down at Sarah and she is doing sit ups on the couch, she turns to me and says in her most serious voice, "whew, training is hard work".

This is how I found Molly sleeping last night.

Brian was in charge of bath and bed this night. I went to tuck them in before we went to bed....one of these things is not like the other.....bow in the front? Bow in the back?? But I will say this....their teeth were brushed and they had their leave in conditioner (product) in their hair. Good job, Dad!!!

Please ignore this next nudy shot....the cousins were loving the shower.

My Molly story of the day: Grandma joined us on a trip to Walmart. The girls were TIRED, which meant there was a little bit of whining going on in the back seat. Molly kept saying...owww, owww, owww. Grandma turned around and asked her what was wrong and she said, and I quote, "I have boogers stuck in my nose and I can't get it out". I look in my tiny mirror attached to my rear view mirror and see her about 2 knuckles deep in her nose. Cute!!

My Sarah story of the day: We used to call injuries to the girls boo boo's to make it easier. So if it was a cut, scratch, scrape, or anything of that nature....it was just a boo boo. Grandma encouraged me to use their actual names because at 3 it is cute to call a scratch a boo boo, but not so much at 11. Anyway, Sarah now calls her injuries either scrapers or scratchers. We are closer to correct....but not quite there.

Big Helpers

The girls sure enjoy helping Brian with anything! I should say, they just enjoy helping in general. We were outside last week while Brian was changing the oil in his truck and the girls were "helping".

Sure, Daddy, we will help you air up that tire.

Okay, so I put the drip pan where?

I have a socket, but I am not sure what I am supposed to do with it.

You work on the engine, I will get the tires.

There is something on my face? All a part of a hard days work.

My wall, I love it

I cannot decorate, I do not have an eye for "grouping" things.. I don't know what is popular or in style, but I do know when I like something. I came across this website and I just absolutely love her stuff.

And of course, I love Etsy, so here is her shop.

She has just the best stuff and she is so easy to work with.

Here are my pics from what I got. I have a pretty decent size wall in my bedroom that has been empty since we finished our bedroom and I could never think of anything to do there.

Here is a picture of the whole wall. They are just vinyl letters, and I am sure most of you have seen this before, but I just think it is so neat!

Translation Please

Okay, so here is my funny story on Sarah. Brian worked shut down for almost 2 weeks, which meant he went in very early in the morning and came home between 9 and 10 in the evening after the girls went to bed. Shut down is always hard on us because we miss him so much. Thursday after shut down I went to my montly bunco, Brian told he girls I was going to find my sanity. Then the following Sunday afternoon I went to the movies with Gienah and again he told them I was going to find my sanity. The following Thursday I went to get the girls up and Sarah asked me what we were doing that day, and I told her we were going to school. She said, oh no mom, we can't go to school, mom, you don't have your sanity yet. Silly Sarah!

Ten Things Tuesday

1. The girls didn't want to take a nap this afternoon so we went and took a nap in the guest room in the guest bed all three of us. It was lovely!

2. Molly asking me to pee in the potty 3 times while we were out today and then coming home with a dry pull up.

3. Molly and Sarah "helping" Brian air up his truck tires.

4. Sarah helping Molly push her 4 wheeler out of a ditch.

5. Sitting on the front porch with the girls cuddled in the chairs singing after nap time.

6. Chick Fil A for lunch....yummmmmmmm!!!!

7. Ladies Bible Class, thanks A.G. for encouraging me to get involved again, I sure have enjoyed making new friends and having extra moms to spend time with.

8. An hour and a half of adult conversation.....YEAH!

9. 3rd night in a row Brian has been home for dinner with us.

10. Night time showers with the girls, I love my shower and they love getting to share with me.

Nice Weather....Yeah!!!

Oh my, I love warm weather. LOVE warm weather, not hot weather, but like it was today and yesterday. We took the potty outside and we were good to go. I remember as a kid being so bored in the house and my Mom saying go outside, find something to do. We did spend a lot of time outside when we were kids. Of course that was before there were 1000's of children's televsions shows, video games, and the internet. We always loved being outside and I never remember it being too cold or too warm to go outside and play. As a mom I worry, if they go outside and it is too cold will it result in runny noses. If it is too hot, will I have a heat stroke! I am sure the girls don't care either way. After being cooped up all winter long, I think they are ready to stretch their legs and RUN!

I need to take a picture of them sitting outside on our porch in my new porch furniture. We have a pretty good size front porch, but we never use it. It is nice, but people drive too fast on our road and it worries me for the girls to play in the front yard. Well, I bought 2 (nothing special, at all, just something to sit your bottom on) and the girls love to go out when Sophie goes potty just to sit in the new chairs. Who knew that would be so exciting? So last night after Brian got home before bath time we went outside to see a bunny and the girls were on the front porch with cousin Jake, who is staying with us until Tuesday. So they were outside in their t shirts and panties looking for the bunny. They aren't very modest so it doesn't bother them that they are pantless. I got so tickled watching them running up and down our small porch.

Here are some pictures from Easter egg hunting at Meme's house and Nanny's house. They had a ball!!! You can see in the second set of pictures at Nanny's house that she out did herself with the Easter egg hunt. There were so many egss for 2 little girls that they were dragging their baskets back to the house and stuffing egss in their pockets. They had a ball! We drove up to the house and Nanny had already hidden eggs for the girls and they could see them in her yard, it was like herding sheep getting them in the house for lunch, they were so excited! Nanny knows what 2 little girls LOVE!

Show your stuff, Saturday

That title sounds a little revealing....I promise, it isn't that kind of stuff!

I don't usually share my stuff for business, simply because if you want to see it, it is on the website. However, here are some new things I have been working on, that I love. Somethings that customers said: do what you what, I am leaving it up to you. I love those kinds of jobs!!!

Oh, I love this stuff for Nathaniel. Little boy stuff is just precious, and I love doing it!!! Especially nautical stuff, it is so boyish and sweet.

These are just some cute baskets for some babies for showers. We love toy baskets at our house!

I love this night light burp cloth set. My friend Gienah is going to a shower where they know the colors of the nursery and his last name starts w/ a "B". I wanted to do something different. I love it when people say, mine was the most unique present at the shower.

This sweet little set is for Ms. Lisa, the girls MDO teacher who just found out she was pregnant. She is super sweet, the girls love her and Ms. Leeda a great deal. It makes me feel so good about leaving them on Thursday!
