Miss You!

3 peas in a pod.

Emma and Olivia have been talking non-stop about their visit to Texas to see Grandma and Grandpa. We may need to drive down very soon to get another fix!

Build It with Grandma

Watch your fingers, Grandma!

Off to Lowe's this morning to build a castle! Emma and Olivia showed Grandma their hammering skills. Grandma got to show them - she's still got it!

Oh, Sugar Sugar

Grandma baked mitten cookies for the girls to decorate. Chocolate, white, blue and pink frosting plus Disney Princess shaped decorations. The girls are STILL working off the sugar high.

John Deere

Giddy Up! Grandpa took the girls for a spin on the lawn hog.

Back in Texas, Y'all!

A cowgirl hat made from a nickel by the blacksmith.

A night-night story.

Bubble bath!

Princess memory game. Yes, Emma has a sleep mask as a headband : )

We flew in Wednesday night and the fun hasn't stopped! Crafts, hide-n-seek, cookie decorating, readng books, playing dolls ... phew! Today we saw a real blacksmith and the girls rode on Grandpa's tractor. We love Grandma and Grandpa's house!

Sec-Tion-Al

Oh, boy. What did we get ourselves into?

First chaise lounger is on! Perfect fit!

Second piece in and secure.

Third piece, another lounger and the ottoman. Looking GOOD!

The view of the new built in from the new couch. Pretty damn sweet.

Our brand new espresso leather sectional arrived this afternoon! Andy from across the street graciously offered his assistance in getting the monstrous pieces down to the basement. The pieces were relatively light, but super awkward. It was kind of like watching them play Tetris trying to fit two chaise loungers, and ottoman and a middle couch through a back door and down the basement stairs. We opened up the boxes, added the legs on and set everything up. The kids took a test drive, of course. So far so good - it is preschooler approved!

She's Crafty

With the temperatures low outside, we decided to dip into our craft stock. Emma chose to decorate a beautiful jewelry box and Olivia picked a picture frame to bedazzle. Paints, glitter glue, jewels and stickers were all included - we just love Melissa & Doug products!
