:O Christmas Tree

Dec 12 ~ We finally got our Christmas tree!  We decided to wait a little bit longer this year, not knowing if we would be chasing Lindsey down every second and also remembering last year ~ the year our tree died. Yes, we literally had to cut it apart inside to remove it & ugh... cleaning up pine needles from the moment we bought it, until...well, this year!


To our amazement, Lindsey has not tried to pull it over, take the ornaments off or hang on the limbs! YAY!  As a matter of fact, from the moment we plugged in the lights to make sure they worked, she cheered saying, " yaaay...lights...bubbles!"  Also, the tree gave her a great hiding place for one of her newest fav games.  "Peek-e-boo..." as she says.



  Hailey was a great help this year decorating the tree without me having to worry about her hooking herself with the ornaments this year...she even made some homemade ornaments & decorated with some of her hairbows...hey, whatever works, right.  If you look back at the 1st pic...you'll notice a pink flower(on the right) in the tree...hair clip, it was a must per Hailey!  She did get a little upset when the tree topper/star would not work, so we rigged up a star for her mini-christmas tree in her room which, so far, seems to make her feel a little better.

This past weekend, after a marathon of "Fossy" aka, Frosty the Snowman per Lindsey...her newest found love, I decided to take a few pics of the girls for their Christmas pictures...that's always interesting and you just have to hope for the best, because when they're done...they're DONE!!  But, I got a few good ones after playing "peek-e-boo" behind the camera & singing the ABC's:

Finalized! ~ Hailey's Ballerina Bedroom Redo

I am totally singing the  HALLELUJAH CHORUS !  After months of contemplating Hailey's bedroom redo and realizing after I started that this was harder than expected with tons of DIY projects...it's DONE!!   Well, at least for now.  Possible that I will continue with cosmetic procedures later, but for now...here it is... Just a walk down memory lane... even though it's totally embarrassing with overflow of clutter in which I strongly dislike... Oh my...look at the bedskirt, lol!  Felt a tad bit sorry for Lindsey who thought she belonged with her favorite stuffed animals in the hammock.... But anyway, after painting her walls pink and hand painting sillhouettes of ballerinas...it was on!  I have been so greatful that God placed the perfect people in my path to finish Hailey's room with one of the Dance mom's, Jenna Pratt who exchanged a ballerina comforter set plus pillows and curtains for a video baby monitor...absolutely perfect! ...

1st Day of Fall 2012

What can I say, other than the 1st day of fall is absolutely beautiful! (even though my girls want to watch Christmas movies today).  Hailey isn't feeling very well, but managed to play outside and enjoy the weather for a little while...and of course get a few pics of the kiddos with our glamorous glittering pumpkins...so girly! Some other accomplishments this week...Hailey read the bedtime story 2 nights ago...might have been a "Dick & Jane" book, but mommy was so proud! Lindsey has taken on "spitting" which we are trying to break!  She also gets a big kick out of putting her mouth on mine or Chris' belly and blowing, followed by, "I pooted!!"  Yep, I think she might be our tomboy...  Hailey had the best attempt at getting Lindsey to try to stop spitting by saying, "Lindsey! Stop spitting or you're going to turn into a BOY!!"  Lindsey responded, "Oh noooo!" with her hands on her cheeks and hasn't att...

Bible lesson & Haircuts!

 Hailey had a VERY hard time with her decision to get a hair cut...especially after learning about Samson(in the Bible)!  She wants to be as strong as Samson & remembers that he lost his strength when Delilah cut his hair.  I had to make a promise to her that she would not loose her strength...but that it is healthy to trim your hair...thus, it will make it grow longer!  Glad she takes to Bible very literally though.... Kristen did a great job & Hailey liked her hair!  After her hair cut...she asked Kristen & I to feel her "bones," as she sticks out her arm.  "Wow! You are soooo strong!" we said.  Hailey was thrilled!
