Falling

The girls were having fun seeing if they could relax enough to fall flat on their face on an old mattress.

January

My trendy girl.

Lizzy sprained or broke her foot and spent most of January hobbling so she had fun playing in the tub. 

 

Katie had to make a model of a beluga whale for school. She decided to make it from sculpey clay. They turned out really cute.

 Katie wrote this poem and I wanted to take a picture before filing it away. I thought it was really good. 

Stair challenge

Last night, Lizzy just hopped to bed like that was perfectly normal, so this morning we had a challenge.

Kids Dancing

Mehndi

The girls pestered Daddy the other day at the Indian store and he bought them a tube of henna to do Mehndi on our hands. 

Robots

The other day the kids were being nice and quiet while I studied. I was kind of afraid to go upstairs, but this is what I found. They made  robots from the recycle bin and all of my foil. Lizzy made one too, but hers went dancing and didn't survive. 

Silliness

Tonight,  I was waiting for the girls to get their jammies on, and being silly. The the girls were in stitches laughing at themselves. Katie asked me to do it again, so she could video tape it and being the kind of mom who does all kinds of stupid things my kids ask me to do, here's what we got. I was teasing the girls about how they sound when they look at the new American girl catalog. Katie tells me how she needs everything, and Lizzy just whines that she doesn't have the A.G. pets to go with her doll.

Painting

The girls spent 4 hours today painting ceramics I found on clearance at Michael's. What a great way to spend a rainy day.

Little Princesses

When applying make-up one should always try to achieve a natural look
