sisters

These two cuties have been sick. Yuck! Runny noses, fevers, coughs...the works. But, they have been so good.

valentines photo shoot

well, at least I tried.

snow day

LOVE day

she looks a little like James Dean smoking.

pink hat

saying "pet, pet." She always does a little tap with her finger into the palm of her other hand.




saying "dog........................................ie"

I love these two pictures together (although she kind of looks like a two headed monster, which she really is sometimes, but...) She came home with Sweetpea's hat on and looked so cute. I ran in, grabbed the camera, and took a few pictures while she yelled to the dogs next door. Notice the hair. I cut it. She was growing a mullet. Three bags of fruit snacks and a sucker kept her busy while I cut it. I'm just dreading the day when she gets the scissors and cuts her own hair.

now she looks feminine



she is talking so much more...
Ormie
Pig
garbage
talk
no
phone
no
Bell
no
water
cuddle
She is a climber like you would not believe.
She is sensitive to others feelings and quick to offer comfort.
She loves olives. We were going to name her Gumdrop Olive after my Grandma...seriously.
She loves the toilet, dogs, playing other kids, swinging, & talking on the phone.
She counts to 10...we never taught her that.

curly hair

Look at that hair! Before bed on Saturday, I just rolled her hair up in a rag and tied it. So easy and so beautiful. She dressed in her blue dress so she could be twinners with her aunt at church.

Valentines Ribbon

My mom gave me a huge roll of ribbon for Valentines Day. I've been wanting to try a wreath like this. When I got about 1/6 of it done, I thought it looked really dumb, so I left it and went to bed. The next morning I decided it wasn't that bad and finished it. I like it. It needs something, but at least I got this part done.

my girls

sometimes they have so much fun together. hearing them laugh together is PRICELESS.

just because...

everyone wants to know. This little girlie loves to sit on the toilet and "go potty." Which is really just sitting there and then getting some toilet paper....But, she pooped! Yipeeee! She hasn't done it again, but that's a start. Oh, and she loves to flush the toilet.

love

I love photoshop!!!!!
If you'd like one for yourself, let me know.

gumdropella

she is such a good helper. i can never vacuum, sweep, dust...without her helping. she's go great about putting things away and making sure drawers and cupboards are closed. this morning she also dumped out a container of toothpicks, seasoned my kitchen with paprika, and said no at least 200 times.

video of the dance

Here is a little video of Sweetpea, her friend, and Gumdrop doing the dance at home.
They were trying on their costumes for my amazing friend who sewed all the marabou on.

dance performance

Sweetpea had a dance performance this past weekend. She was TERRIFIC!!!! All biases aside (since I am her mom and her teacher), she was amazing, ALL of my girls were amazing. Everyone of the girls knew the dance, sang the song, smiled, performed great...they were sensational...and they did the dance all by themselves, some of the girls are barely 3. I feel so lucky to have such a great group of little girls. They are so much fun and I look forward to teaching them each week. I already have an ideas for their next recital.
