Flowers for nothing


From my dh.

My first piece of mail



Anna Lee opened a birthday card a little early. She slept with it.
She was a little upset because the cake on the front was yellow, not pink, but got over it.

Feet



Her feet are so cute and yummy.

When do they get big and stinky? I think at 8.

Milestone for Sara









Sara got fitted for pointe shoes yesterday. She was so excited!

Ron & Anna Lee working hard

Hiding from Mommy

Someone tried to shut the door on me at bedtime.
She got a hold of Sara's old beret.

Yes, that is a slipper on OVER her footy pj's

New addition to annoying ethnic name list

If you don't believe it, try google-ing it.

Sara dancing

Sara had to perform at an Elementary School PTA last night with her dance class. I guess they were trying to recruit kids from the elementary magnet to come to the middle school magnet. Anyway, the dance was absolutely adorable. Sara did great.










Sorry the pictures are so tiny, but all I had was my cell phone. You can click on them to make them larger.

What a cupcake looks like after Anna Lee is done eating it


I found it on my windowsill. Along with a bit of milk in the Dixie cup.

What to do if you want to wear both a Princess Crown AND a hood



Exciting news about Sara coming Tuesday!

Dolly Band Aid and Pillow game


She just LOVES Band Aids. Carried the box the whole time we were in the supermarket. She even knows how to put them on herself (they remain on a high shelf for just that reason).

This is a game we call "pillow". Anna Lee covers herself with a blanket and I pretend she is a pillow and lay on her - much giggling- then complain that my pillow is moving and uncover her. Imagine my surprise when it is not a pillow, but my baby girl!

Pumpkin Patch

Hay ride.

Look at all those sunflowers. It was a beautiful day.


Too BIG!

The blue dress is actually Sara's underamour shirt. Could. Not. Get. It. Off. Her!




Jumping on the hay bales was fun, but VERY allergy inducing.


I was so scared she would fall off. She picked the biggest pony.


But what other kind of face paint would she pick? It was incredibly hard getting the paint out of her eyebrows.


Funnel cake (jealous, Ingi?)


Princess crown the day after.

Visited the "Pumkin Patch" in the thriving metropolis of Clanton on Saturday.

Happy Sukkot


Ron and Sara put it up yesterday.
Just need to decorate it. More later...

Ooops


Forgot to set the parking brake on the Beetle Saturday. It rolled back and got stuck on a truck's trailer hitch. Talk about embarrassing. Ron rescued me, as usual.
I am SUCH a woman driver.

I do believe the child will have Jew hair

New Dolly House No-No

Yes, she is wearing her bathing suit. Sometimes the battle is not worth it.

New Dolly House






I promised the girls I would buy them a larger dollhouse that the Barbies would fit in if they got rid of another "not-being-played-with" dollhouse.
Here it is - my Ebay find.
Little Tikes, vintage, sturdy.
Perfect size for Anna Lee to fit in the bottom.
They love it. I have no room for it....

P.S. Why are the dolls always naked if they have so many clothes?
