A little bit of Sunshine & Freedom of Fireflies!

I love, love, love watching my girls active, seeing how they are growing & making new friends...BUT what I love even more it staying at home and enjoying every second!  This Memorial Day weekend has already been a blast!
It was super hot outside today and what else could we do but go buy a slip n' slide!  It was a winner, especially for Hailey.  Lindsey was napping when we started and was a bit timid after she woke up, but still had fun....












Low & behold, all Lindsey needed was some energy from a capri sun & some fritos...
 Poor thing, 2T clothes/bathing suits are just too big for a 25lb 22month old!

 Lindsey had to inspect & kiss Hailey's boo-boo....and it was all better.
                                                        Staying hydrated!



After all the fun in the sun, a little rest & dinner...it was time to catch the summer's 1st fireflies!  Hailey decided to capture hers in her empty purple bubble container...


 Oh, and we have a family of Rabbits in our backyard...if you look directly at the middle of this pic, you'll seeing the ginormous father(with the glowing eye)...we followed him and think they live under our shed, but he tricked us and fled the scene...hopping into our front yard & across the street.  He'll be back.  We frequently see him in the mornings.

Lindsey gave up on catching fireflies & became a poor sport quickly...it's just hard at night to follow them.  After I caught one and tried to let her hold it, she became scared & decided that swinging on the swing set was her best option while Hailey & I tried to catch more.

Hailey changed that firefly's location and wanted to keep it as her nightlight, but after a little talk, we decided to let him go back home....
 Hailey said, "I'm sorry firefly...I didn't mean to hurt you.  Go back to your family.  LOOK MOM! He likes me! I think he wants to stay with ME!"  No Hailey, he's probably still in shock...just let him go...and so she did.

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...
