spring break

Audrey took the plunge & got her ears pierced! She didn't cry 1 single tear - I was so surprised & proud of her. Syd got hers done last year, but Audrey wasn't up for it then.

There was lots of yoga done. The girls are having a lot of fun with it.

And I was able to squeeze in making this purse for a gift. It's back to school time tomorrow though!

Ah to be young & dress yourself.....

The girls & I were heading outside to play.....I asked them to go get shoes on......they were gone for awhile......a little too long......I peeked in their room & saw them digging thru their dress up clothes. This is what they came up with to go play in

Syd did pick out her own accessories too!

We also went to the 4th of July parade this week - this is the bowl with all the goodies they got from it - holy cow! This is the same bowl we put the trick-or-treat candy in.....but it wasn't even this full. I don't remember that happening when I was a kid!

Life Is Good.....

We are very lucky to have a nice little beach very close to our house.....we have been spending as much time as we can there lately. But with our crazy Wisconsin weather it can be 85 and sunny one day, 65 and rainy the next!

Oh Dear Husband

Did you get a new ride? That hot pink Barbie car suits you well!

I love how you are trying to convince the girls how much fun the car is....

Oh to be a little one and pull this look off...

Here our little Syd is donning a pink waffle shirt with her big sisters skirt.....the shirt is accented by sparkly green fairy wings and the whole look is pulled together with pink and black legwarmers - Flashdance style...
Funny little kid - did you guess she whipped this ensemble up all by herself?

Those Girls

They will sit their little hinders in anything they can.....

Here they are in a doll case - each is in half.....

And here they are crammed into a stool on its side - they "drive" in the legs.

They make me smile

Yummy Treats

So this weekend Audrey was given a neat cake decorating tool (it is a battery operated icing-frosting easy bake oven one) as a gift.

Tonight I decided to make brownies & she wanted to frost them with her new baking tool.

She let Sydney help her put sprinkles on them after Audrey frosted them. It was an interesting event :)

The tool is pretty neat you fill the tube really easily with frosting & then just clip it in to the pen, put a tip on (they just screw on) and then press the button & the frosting comes out.

Here is the end result when you let a 3 year old frost brownies & a 18 month old put sprinkles on them....

And the little ones enjoying their hard work....

Dance Party You Say??

My little girls just love to turn on their radio & get down. We like to call it "finding your funk". Our regular dance party grooves are Michael Jackson - he is the king of pop - just ask Audrey. Sydney likes to hold onto the shelf & jump but Audrey will just flail around. It is getting to be hard to get her out of her little tutu outfit so mom is making them both tutus that can be worn over any outfit (the one she has now is sewn to a little body suit). Shhhhh...don't tell them.

In crafting news I have picked up some cool new copper pieces - I am SO curios to see what they turn out like from the sulfur...we'll see I just need a few minutes to try....

Got to run!

Little Goofballs

Small children do funny things.....

So the other night Audrey fell asleep very early & Sydney wandered into the bathroom by herself. She was MIA and very quiet for a few minutes - when I went to go look for her I found she had put on just about every headband I own - as necklaces.....very pretty!

Then Friday we were outside enjoying the nice weather, riding bikes & scooters around in the driveway when Audrey came tearing out wearing our rose cone on her head. She could not see where she was going & I am pretty sure that was a lot of the fun. She rode all around with that thing on her head....

Silly girls....they bring a smile to my face everyday

A Basket of Fun

Ahhh...to be 1 & 3 again. My girls spent almost an hour just sticking felt flowers into their hair while sitting in the launrdy basket. Sydney kept sticking the flowers thru the holes in the basket so Audrey could put them back on her. It was extra cute.

We weren't able to play in the backyard today as it was all soggy & wet as it rained my whole drive home.

We also made a trip to Old World Wisconsin - I'll post some pictures when I get them from my mom - they went too but are having some computer problems.

Day at the Farm

Yesterday we took the girls to a "Day at the Farm" in Pickett. There were corn mazes & all sorts of fun outdoor goodness for kids to play in.

Here is a picture of Audrey in a tractor (a pretend one for kids). We then went out & had pancakes at a little diner in Rosendale called Tabberts - the pancakes actually hang off the edge of the plate - I'm not kidding!! And the French Toast is gigantic as well..........

The Sweetest Little Girl

Oh my......this was the sweetest little thing Audrey did! She climbed into my sewing chair, lifted the presser foot, put fabric in & said "I'm sewing!!" so was so excited, it was the cutest thing.....maybe a future clothing designer???

It's a Girl

Well, it's a girl!!! We welcomed Sydney into the world on May 27th.......she is absolutley wonderful!

Here is a quick pic of her....there will be many, many more to come!!!
