Sew Sassy Shirts!

You may or may not know this, but my friend Lyndi and I have started a little side business.  We started making initial and holiday shirts for our girls last year and now we are selling them too!  We make matching hair bows and tutus as well.  We have done a couple of craft fairs and so far, it has been fun!

Here is the blog, if you are interested!  http://www.sewsassyshirts.blogspot.com/

American Girl Store, Part II

Clara had a few extra birthday dollars and earned some more money, so off to American Girl to get the big horse, now named Butterfly.  She also got a Ranch Girl outfit for Sara!  Nora also got a Bitty Baby.  Call it early birthday...nearly every girl on the block has a spring b-day and got a Bitty, so Nora has "Big Julie," pictured with "Little Julie."

Clara with her new baby!

Sara with Sparkfly (the small one) and Butterfly, showing off her new outfit!

Lila decided to carry around the old Bitty Baby...she seems to catch on pretty fast! 

Graduation!

My how time flies!  Clara graduated from pre-school last week.  She has attended St. Andrew CLC for four years and it has been an amazing experience!  The ceremony was just so cute!  All of the children came on stage and sang a song "We Are Graduating" to the tune of "Mary Had A Little Lamb."  Then they sang the ABC's... Ms. Abby then announced that they had learned so much, they could even sing it backwards.   Then the students turn around, backs facing the audience and sang the ABC's again!  Funny!  Clara had told us they were going to trick us!  After the songs, the students recieved a diploma.  What a special day!

It is official!

A couple of weeks ago, what seemed like overnight, Lila became a full-time walker, where she decided she would rather walk then crawl!  Now she is BUSY!  Some of her favorite things to do is push a baby in the stroller and play with the doll house.  We are very proud of our little-big girl!

Mother's Day

Mother's Day started with me sleeping in and being delivered breafast in bed with homeade gifts...

(while they had already eaten, they devoured my plate...good thing they don't like coffee!)

Followed by swim lessons, then lunch then a little scrapbooking...

(they came down to "look" at all of my pictures)

The little girls took a nap and we did some yard work.  When they woke up, we planted the flower pots...

(okay, so Lila may have eated some dirt...)

Then I was off to a wonderful, lovely, most relaxing massage and came home to a yummy dinner cooked by my wonderful husband!  Notice my new sunglasses, too!  Thank honey for a great day!!

Spring Bazaar

This last Saturday, myself and two neighbors set up a booth in a Spring Bazaar at St. Andrew UMC.  What fun!

A Girl and Her Monkey!

Nora loves to love things!  "Monkey" has made the list this week!  She said "Mommy, take my picture with my monkey in my seat! Then let me look!"  Love this little miss!
