End of February Fun

Our girlies got invited to a birthday party and they were supposed to dress as princesses.  Thanks to a friend who had recently given us a bunch of dress up clothes, they had loads of choices!  Sydney ended up going with Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty and looked darling.

 And wow, despite her hair being a bit crazy since this was after the party, don't you love my adorable Snow White?  I do.  She was the cutest kid and finally let me put that ribbon in her hair and kept it in.  I won that battle. :)

 Lots of girl time.  These babies are my favorite girls to hang out with.  Boy do I have fun with them.

 We had mock fondue for the kids one night.  Hilarious.  Sydney would have eaten an entire bag of marshmallows if we had let her and Mady devoured every strawberry she could find.  So typical of my kids.

 As a kid I remember spending hours threading buttons on a needle on the floor while my mom was sewing.  It's great hand-eye coordination and my kids are completely good for a long time because they feel so grown up crafting with mom.  I've recently let them start doing this sitting right next to me and I've got to admit, I love it just as much as they do since it means they are good and quiet without just watching TV (which they do plenty of).  JoAnns has a big box of buttons for $6, so with a coupon, that's a steal!  Also, what the heck is up with Mady's face in this one?  Zoom in for a better look.  I crack up every time I look at it.

 That's better!  Happy kids = Happy Mommmy!

Hope you enjoyed your February, now on to summer!  Er wait, I think I missed a season.
