They make me laugh.

Abby and Jack had been in the pool nearly all day. We were having a leftover dinner night, and they requested sandwiches. So I went inside to make them (Abby HAD to have grape jelly, and Jack HAD to have strawberry, can't make it easy on me. haha:) So when I went back out I found them loading their table and chairs in the pool. Love it. Abby has a book of stickers and they think they are really cool because they are gold. She uses them on EVERYTHING. They put them on their face and told me how sad they both were:)
They both happened to be wearing green this day, and Jack told me "no one can pinch me, I am wearing green. No one can pinch Abby, she is wearing green. Mommy, everyone will pinch you! Go wear green mommy!" Can you tell he remembered St. Pattys day?

So cute I could die!!!

I am so ridiculously excited about the MAJOR project I just finished up today. I have put in exactly one week on these little babies and it was soooooo worth it! I knew it was going to be a huge task, but I don't think I realized how time consuming it would be... Though, if I hadn't screwed up so many times it would have gone much faster... probably would have finished two days ago!! I became besties with my seam ripper... and hope to never have to see her again! (it's purple, so it is a she, right? :) I think this is my favorite project to date, though the pettiskirt for Avree was pretty close up there. My girls will be so stylin:)




Shhh... I (er, Ben) need to put the seatbelts back in this one. He was awesome. I tried for about a minute to take each one apart (the hardware) and got so frustrated, he stepped in and stopped the not so silent angry words. They are a lot more complex than you would imagine!!



It is kind of hard to see in the pictures, but the blue material has flowers in a slightly darker blue.




Total hours... probably 15... I usually don't do projects that can't be finished in one naptime, I will end up losing interest, but this one I HAD to finish... Can't bring them home without their seats, haha.
