I just want to remember the sweet little curls that Landry has at the bottom of her hair. Ashton had the same ones!

Here are my latest creations....

I made these burp cloths for a friend of mine who is going to a baby shower on Saturday. I had so much fun doing them. She told me the colors were black, white, and apple green. I branched out from my norm and decided to add fabric to these. For those of you who know me, I am not a "sewer" so I was nervous as all get out. They aren't perfect, but not bad for my first time with fabric and embroidery combined. I am hoping to improve the more I do it!

Are you kidding me?

Can you believe someone found Bobby's lost wedding ring? YEP....after several weeks of it being lost at the softball field some guys found it and gave it to the league director! This is after we already bought a replacement ring...but I don't care! I am so glad to have the original ring back on my hubby's finger! It needs a little TLC from the jeweler but it is not damaged at all!

Are you kidding me? I thought it was gone forever....WOW!

Cotton Ball Fight!

Tonight after dinner I got a quick shower since we had already bathed the girls. While I was in the shower Daddy and the girls were watching tv on our bed. Next thing I know, Landry is carrying the bag of cotton balls around like a purse. Then she starts pulling them out one handful at a time. It didn't take long for Big Sis to start throwing them....which Landry thought was funny. Landry started in on the throwing and Ashton starts yellling..."Cotton Ball Fight...woo-hoo!"

Bobby and I thought it was pretty cute so what does the photo crazy mommy do...yep...ran to grab the camera! After the fun was over both girls helped pick up the cotton balls then it was time for popsicles for dessert.

What a great way to spend an evening with two little girls!

"I've never seen a real hot air balloon before" ~ Ashton

Today after Ashton's party we decided to go out for dinner to celebrate both hers and Daddy's birthday. They chose Uncle Julio's...we weren't able to eat there since it was an almost hour long wait and with it being 6:15 already we decided we wouldn't risk it with Landry.

But anyway, we were on our way home and we spotted this hot air balloon floating in the sky. Ashton was so excited. She has seen them in a distance but never this close before. As we were driving home it actually got pretty close and she couldn't believe how BIG it was.

We have never taken her to the Balloon Festival that they have every year just because we figured she wouldn't enjoy it since they are pretty noisy. We think we may try it out this year since she was pretty interested and excited by just seeing this one.

Landry...Trying to Dress Herself = A Funny Mess

Today while the housekeeper (aka mommy/wife/me) was busy cleaning, Landry and Ashton occupied themselves for quite some time in Landry's room. Ashton was doing a very fine job of styling Elizabeth's (her American Girl Doll's) hair and Landry was keeping herself "busy" too.

I came in to check on them and found every.single.one of Landry's swim diapers spread out on the floor. She had been trying to "dress" herself which equals to her slipping them over one of her legs. She couldn't just do this with one. She had to use every single one that had been so nicely stacked in her cabinet which created more cleaning up for me to do! That is life with a toddler...I only wish I would have captured the "dressing" herself on camera because it looks quite funny. She knows that his how you do it, but she just can't figure out how to get the other leg in...I guess she will need to keep practicing!

Party Prep...Stars and Balls

Ashton is having her "Girls Rock" Karaoke Party on Saturday. As one of the favors/mini-craft the kids will decorate a microphone made from pvc pipe and foam balls. So today I was spray painting the tops of the microphones and the stars that will decorate one of the walls.

Party Errands

Even though Ashton's birthday was on the 6th, we are having her party on Saturday since we were out of town. Today the girls and I had spent the morning running errands for the party. Party America was just one of the places we went to...had to order the balloons for this 7 year old!

Mommy & Ashton Time

Today, Ashton and I spent a lot of time together doing some fun things. During Landry's nap we made Rice Krispy Treats with sprinkles...they were delish and lots of sticky fun!

Then this evening after Landry went to bed, we had a Mommy and Ashton movie night since Daddy had a work meeting at the Rangers game. We tried to make some bracelets with her new jewelry kit she got for her birthday from Mamo & Papo. The beads are tiny, so it took a while to get the hang of getting them on.

It was fun hanging out with my BG!

This picture needs an explanation....

...today we watched Baby Allie while her Mommy and Daddy were at work since her regular babysitter was out of commission. So along with Allie came a couple of things to occupy her when needed.

Well....Landry was in LOVE with the fact that we had Allie here all day! And she LOVED that Allie had a few toys with her. While Allie was taking her nap this morning, Landry decided to "try out" Allie's floor gym. She was giving the fish a kiss and I just happened to catch it.

When Ashton and I were going through the pictures for my 365...she said we just had to use this one because it was so funny! So here it is.

Can you believe they still make these?

My parents gave this to Ashton for her birthday. So today was the day we busted it out and used it. She was very excited to make a yellow cake with chocolate frosting for her dessert tonight. This thing is right up her alley since she LOVES all things cooking!

Next we are going to try the pretzels.

Can this be the same girl who has NEVER wanted to get her face painted until just this past year?

Yep it sure is...I drop her off at a birthday party and come back to pick her up and this is what she has on her face.

She loves it and was a bit sad when we had to wash it off for bed. I mean, it sparkled with glitter and everything. And yes...the face painter lady even put on lipstick...with paint!

Wowser!

N K O T B Baby!

Tonight I went with two of my favorite people, Gina and Jodi, to see New Kids On the Block...I had a total BLAST!

We screamed like teenagers, jumped up and down and were just plain excited to see them! They put on a great concert, but really...seeing Donnie Wahlberg (or D-Dub as he is now known) made it perfect! He is and was my fave!

I saw them back in October with my friend Jill and they were greatness then...and I am sure if I went to see them again I would still love it!

We had fun people watching, and seeing thousands of other 20, 30, and 40 somethings there acting just as crazy!
