Bubbles Galore!

There are certain things I sometimes wish had never been "invented." Bubbles for kids is definitely one of them. A pretty big mess is inevitable, at least with my girls. Of course, it's one of their favorites. We visited the Georgia Children's Museum this week and one of the first things the girls saw was the bubble area. I decided to just go with it - you know since the messy area was pretty well contained and it wasn't in my house. They had a tons of fun and even begged me (which hardly ever happens!) to take more pictures and video. Here's some of the fun I captured.

Here's the video of my crazy bubble eating Kerri and my little ham Emma Lee having fun at the Georgia Children's Museum

Who Knew?!

Who knew there are whole blogs entirely devoted to hairstyles for your little girl? I guess it's time for me to stop bugging Emma Lee and Kerri to let me get their hair cut and start learning how to copy some of these fun and fancy hairstyles (although some of them are definitely a bit much).

Side note: If you like reading blogs as much as I do but don't want to spend the entire day sitting in front of your computer, check out google reader. You can add all your favorite blogs and see them in one spot. You can see in one glance which ones have added new posts and read them without having to visit each individual site. You can also arrange them in categories. I have a friends category along with baking, money-saving deals, adoption, photography, marriage/family, project ideas (home decor, crafts, & sewing), etc.

What's Wrong with This Picture?

So, I walk into the girls' room tonight and this is what I see. 

What's wrong with this picture (beside a really messy room)?

 

Okay, so Kerri's asleep on the floor. Yes, she did start out on the bed, but look closer.

 

Hmmm...

Someone's taking over!

1 Week

1 week until their first ballet lesson. There's a lot of excitement around here!

Cause You're Just Dying to Know...

It's O for Octopus week around here, and a membership to the Georgia aquarium came in real handy! We've actually never gotten to see the octopus before; he tends to spend a lot of time in hiding. We took our chances though and set off with wishful thinking. When we first got there, a diver was in the tank cleaning it out, and wouldn't you know it - the octopus was nowhere to be seen. We stopped back by later though, and he was out in full force! He was climbing all over the glass, and we even got to see him eat some food, work on capturing some more, and change colors!  

Here are the pictures the girls' made before we went. (Are the grease stains around the goldfish making anyone else rethink their snack options - eww!)

Name That Body Part

Any guesses on what we're studying in school this week??

How about another hint?

Crafty Craft: Earring Holder

I saw this idea several months ago and only recently got around to making it for Emma Lee. I don't remember how much they were selling for, but I do know that it was a lot more than the $1.49 it cost me to make this one!

Materials:
Wooden frame from the dollar store
Plastic canvas sheet from Michaels
Scraps of paper and random assortment of stickers
Mod Podge

Easy and functional!
