Craft/Play Date - Part 1 w/ the Janney's

Another day off with my girls...bliss!  Well, until I found out that my sweet Lindsey found out how to, ummm, climb.  Yes.  As I was cleaning up the kitchen...getting ready for the arrival of my high school friend, Angie and her kiddos, Wally & baby Robert...I hear, "Momma, seeee!"  Nice.
You just have to smile though...with her crazy morning hair. I love it!


Again, Lindsey is such a little caretaker and LOVES(can't emphasize it enough) babies.  She immediately became baby Roberts sidekick and wanted to hold, hug & kiss him...he was quite the ladies man in our house!


         Sweet little Robert enjoyed every minute! Such a happy baby & what a cute smile...
                                                                           Kisses...

Then it was craft time!  Paint, stickers, glitter, markers, crayons, glue sticks, colored paper, pom-poms's, pipe cleaners, etc...you name it, we probably had it.  The kids enjoyed making their own picture frames, drawing pictures and creating door hangers...and, making a mess.



And after "The Mom's" cleaned up...it was time to make another mess! YAY!  Yes, we let the kids make their own pizzas...Hailey decided to split hers/half pepperoni & half cheese(thank you for thinking of Lindsey). I should've supervised the "put just a little bit of flour" part...as Hailey must have poured 1/3 of the bag into her bowl...oh well, it tasted good, even though we had a white powdery smile after every bite. And Wally made a smiley face out of pepperoni.  I love the creativity! 


Shew, what a day...time to relax before saying goodbye.  Poor Lindsey...it's so hard for her to say goodbye...especially to babies.  After giving baby Robert a kiss and saying "I luuv ou!" she shed a few tears as they drove off followed by, "bye-bye Bobert."

After the Janney's left, the girls and I headed outdoors to enjoy the sunshine for a little bit.  This winter had been more like spring!  Absolutely beautiful!


                                         Who is she laughing at? Yep...you guessed it...
                                              the silly fairy at the other end of the see-saw!

                                          You gotta love the static to add to her crazy hair day!



I remember as a little girl, rolled down the grassy hill at my Grandma's house with my sister.  So on with the legacy....

Today was so much fun and enjoyed relaxing with Hailey watching Dumbo, while Lindsey took a nap...when I should've been cleaning up the craft supplies! 
 Reiterating.."should've cleaned up the craft supplies" especially after Lindsey woke, plus with her new climbing skills...everything is now considered "within arms reach." BOO on Mommy!  Just glad my whole house didn't turn a shade of beautiful burgundy...nope, just Lindsey...

Ahhh, the ink pad...stamped on the craft box, the carpet and on Lindsey.  As much as I try to do crafts for Christmas presents including perfect hand prints of the girls, which hardly ever turn out without a smear...there are about 7 perfect tiny hand prints on my bathtub...of course!  Good thing, Lindsey loves baths!
Looking forward to doing it all over again... another craft/play day tomorrow with the Muldoons!  Okay...so we don't have to repeat everything! I might put the ink pad away...for a very...very long time!

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! ...

Down memory lane - Winter 2013

If there's one thing I love most, it's snow days!! Down time with fun in the snow and hot chocolate, cuddles and watching some of our favorites like Toot & Puddle, Franklin, Little Bear, The Berenstain Bears, Olivia, The Backyardigans, Sofia the First...or any Christmas movie, especially the Polar Express!  We love snow days!!                                   Nothing better than waking up to snow and homemade fun. The girls decided to dress up our snowlady and chose Snow White after looking through their dress-up clothes...neither of them wanted snow white to melt....   After thawing out and a warm bath, Lindsey always enjoyed playing with her playhouse and would always holler for me to come find her and let me know she was in her house. She loved how she could fit inside and imagination play.... . Lindsey started getting a cold but continued to smile....I mean, who doesn't love that baby...
