Dressing up

Dressing up is the game to play. Our house has a big box of dress up outfits, dance out fits and many accessories. These photos do not do justice to the many outfits the Emily and Laura might were but I thought you might like to see a sample to get an idea of the horsey riding, dancing, and princess time that goes on at our house.

Emily's Birthday

Emily is THREE.

I'm not four I'm only threeeeee. (One of our favorite cartoons.)

Birthday parties with Grandma. I think that is how my family always celebrates a birthday. So Emily's three year old party was no different. Cake and ice cream and presents with all of the family together.

Emily is not a BIG girl. This goes along with her big girl bed and the hope that one day soon there will be a big girl using the bathroom like the rest of the big girls.

Emily loved the presents and that fact that it was all about here.

Piggy Tail Queens

During a typical morning routine. Get the girls up at 5:35 AM. This means pick them up and carry them into my room and put on my bed. I them proceed to try to get them into the clothes that we picked out the evening before. Most mornings this is successful. However, many mornings the girls have other ideas. Some mornings they don't want to wear what we have chosen and they are quickly in there digging for other thing to wear. I also have to get them to brush their hair which usually means they sit while Mommy does it.

On this particular Feburary morning Laura wanted piggy tails. This is not my strong suit having never had long hair but I do my best. Emily is now fully awake and if Laura gets them so does she. So I struggle to get Emily's to match. I am not past my 20 minutes to get them ready and out the door. But I think that this 10 minutes extra was worth the morning as it put them in such good humor.
