What Mom?

Whenever Kali plays with the Potato Head she always puts the glasses on her face. It cracks me up. She will just sit there the whole time she is playing with it with the glasses (always held on by her little cheeks) on. I would think it would be hard to see what she was doing, but apparently not.

Some Changes

So I have been doing some changes lately to the girls' room. One major one that Bristol was so happy about was that we bought her a new mattress. She was sleeping in her toddler bed before and was outgrowing it. So I found a sale last Monday for 60% of mattresses and packed the girls in the car and went shopping. We only got the mattress because eventually we are going to get bunk beds for them and you don't need a box spring for bunk beds. So for now she is sleeping close to the floor. We also painted her name pink to match the new curtains I made.

Here are the new curtains. It is kind of hard to see the pattern, but I think they are pretty cute. I gave Bristol two options of fabric to pick out and she picked this one.

This is a painting I did the other night for their room. It will be one of three that will be in a line. I took one of designs from the fabric of the curtains and blew it up in size to paint. I will show you more pictures when I finish the other two. I was hoping for a bigger size canvas, but they only sell 12"x12" as the biggest square size. I probably could have shopped else where but had a coupon and didn't want to spend too much. So when I have them all done you will have to tell me if they look like little postage stamps on a wall. I also figure when we get the bunk bed I will have to rearrange the pictures and there will be less wall space.

Butterfly Festival

So last week there was a butterfly festival at one of the gorgeous parks here by our house. Lora you would love the park. So we thought we would go and check it out. They have a greenhouse for all sorts of butterflies. We waited in line and took our turn to walk through. However, supposedly in two weeks all the monarchs will have just hatched and there will be tons in there. So we are planning a trip back then. We saw a lot of caterpillars so I am thinking that must be the case. The girls loved the butterflies and it was all free, so you can't really beat that. We did wait in line for about an hour for Bristol to get her arm airbrushed with a butterfly. It was pretty ridiculous but she was happy about it.

Fun in the Rain

So this was a little over a week ago. Nate was on his way home from work and they had a blast getting soaking wet running in the rain. They love just running up and down our driveway even when it is not raining. I am not sure why it is such a great activity, but whatever keeps them happy.
