We started the week out with an impromptu trip to the Treehouse. We were having a nice proper tea party until some boys came and started moving everything.



Wednesday night Emily, Abby and I went to see Kandyce in Once Upon A Mattress.  It was fun watching for Kandyce and all of the cast did a really good job. Kandyce made her own costume, that girl has talent.


I love when the daffodils bloom in our yard. Next week I think we will do a little "spring cleaning" in the yard.
And playing with some of our favorite people too.


Tonight is the night we've been waiting for it's Pinewood Derby time.

Snow, Eggs and Butterflies

This is what it looks like outside the sliding glass door whenever it snows. Two little monsters love to eat the snow.


Here's Hayley all ready to go play in the snow.  Good thing we sent them out early because it wasn't long before it was all melted. Hayley loves the hat Grandma Rochelle made for her.


Lindy Lou all ready to play.  The girls couldn't keep their gloves on and kept coming inside to warm up their hands.  I kept the blow dryer by the sliding glass door and they were ready to head out again.


Hours of entertainment. Hiding plastic Easter eggs for each other. Emily and Abby used to do the same thing.


I decided to try to make some skirts for the little girls when I found this material. I went to my Mom's house and she helped me put them together.  I actually did most of the sewing. My Mom added the pockets for me.


They turned out so cute and the girls were so excited to wear them to church.

This Week ...

This week I decided to tackle the boxes of printed pictures in the basement from 2008, 2009 and 2010. I used my stash of sheet protectors and went to work in a few hours Tuesday and Wednesday I got most of the pictures in a book. I am missing pictures from a couple of events that I just need to print. Now I just need to add some paper here and there and we are set.  Lindley and Hayley can look at family albums with them in it. I'm so glad I found Project Life last year and will never have this problem again.


Hayley and her bunny glasses.

Super fast Dinosaur slide.


Hayley and Stockton gave each other pushes on the swings.  It was a perfect day to go to the Dinosaur Park.  The kids got along really well.


Emily is going to a birthday party today. So we made another T-shirt bag. Second time around things always go a little smoother. I'm pretty sure I am going to be making a lot of these. Emily's friends have been requesting them since I made the first one. Luckily they are easy and inexpensive.


I love how this one turned out. We made the butterflies flutter.
