Dance Pictures....

The girls had dance pictures today and it was CRAZY!  Pooh Bear had three costume changes!  I only got pictures of one costume because it was a MAD HOUSE.  I wanted to take pictures of all the costumes and them with their friends I just never found time.  I am actually glad I got these. 

Here are the girls in their coordinating costumes. 

 I got their pictures made together in this costume for an ad in the program. 

This is Pooh Bear's jazz costume.  The dance is to Party in the USA. 

 She also has a ballet and tap costume.  She is performing 3 dances at the recital.

She was okay with me dolling her up but she did not really like it. 

                        

This is Sugar Bear's tap costume.

She is only performing one dance at the recital.

Her dance is to Hello Dolly. 

I love, love, love her costume! 

She loved me dolling her up.  

                        

Fishing...

With Daddy Bear, thanks daddy for taking pictures! 

Happy Birthday Nana

We celebrated my mother in law's birthday yesterday after church!  

Cute new Appliques

I got some free appliques the other day and I had to try them.  

I used the last two long sleeve dresses I had and put a cute design on them for the girls.  

This is called a reverse applique which basically means I cut the shirt instead of the fabric. 

You have to look close to really see the difference. 

Spring Break - Day Five

We started off the day at Mimi's for just a little while.  My brother spent some time playing with them outside.  Then we left and went and picked up Pooh Bear's tap costume.  Hopefully I will have pictures from dance on Tuesday.  Then it was back home to play in the driveway.

Spring Break - Day Four

Oops I forgot my camera today.  

But we spent the day with friends.  First we went to eat lunch, then we tried one of those jumpy places and the line was out the door.  Sooooo....... here I go again trying to improvise.  We tried bowling again but no luck there so we went to the park.  After that it was ice cream then home.

Once we got home Pooh Bear made me a surprise. 

It was a picture of us under a rainbow. 

And of course Sugar Bear had to draw a picture to.  Her Big Sis helped her. 

If you look close you can see Pooh Bear drew dashes and Sugar Bear followed them. 

It was team work, I love team work. 

After a fun filled day we finished it up with Pizza and a Movie

Princess And The Frog 

And of course what good is a movie without a bed made with every

 blanket in the house and all the pillows. Oh and we could not forget the 

dessert.... BROWNIES!!  

I think Fluffy Dog is waiting on the crumbs! 

Spring Break - Day Three

Again, today I had plans of doing something really fun but I woke up with a TERRIBLE headache. 

(I think I am trying to get a head cold)  Therefore, we are spending another day at home just hanging out.

I downloaded a few new games to there ipods and they have been playing games off and on all day.

 Their favorite is the cupcake game.  It really is pretty cute game.  

They get to pick a wrapper, bake them, frost them, add sprinkles and then eat them.  

What else could a mom ask for?  

They make cupcakes all day and don't make a bit of mess.
Here are some pictures of the ones they have made.

  
Pooh Bear's                                             Sugar Bear's 

   

Then after they got tired of playing games we decided to make a 

Disney countdown! 

 We are going back to Disney World this summer and we 

got to talking about it last night and we got SO excited.  

So we spent a LARGE part of the day making a countdown.

We started with cutting the strips of paper and then putting them in stack of 10. 

Last time we did a count down we only had like 50 days but this time we have a "few" more.  

Since we got confused and lost count last time I decided to do it a little different.

I put the date on the strip so we can keep up with tearing the rings

Then I used my Cricut to cut a Mickey and Minnie and the girls glued all the pieces on. 

Here is the finished Mickey and Minnie

As you can tell it wraps all the way around the landing at the top of the stairs!  

We have a lot of tearing to do. 

Spring Break - Day Two

Well we started out the day with plans to go eat lunch with friends and go to the movies.  Because Tuesday is the economic stimulus day where you get a movie, popcorn and a drink for $1.  But when we got to the movies the place was packed and all 3 of the movies we were thinking about seeing were SOLD OUT!  

So......what now? 

( There was no way we were going to tell these sweet faces we were going home) 

So we improvised!  

And decided to go bowling

Pooh Bear has been a few times before and did a really good job

I thought this picture was sweet!  I don't get to many of these "sweet" moments. 

Sugar bear was happy because she was getting to bowl and she ate candy almost the Whole time 

Sugar Bear had such a hard time getting the ball ALL 

the way down the lane but she gave it her best try

Once the ball was rolling she stood there and waited. She was so still and so focused.  

Spring Break - Day One

This spring break is a Staycation so.... it is up to Mama Bear to entertain, yeah! 

The first day we decided to sleep late and stay in our p,j.'s ALL day.

But we made yummy cakes. 

 I baked them and let the girls decorate them whatever way they wanted. 

Here is Pooh Bear with her blank cake and all her sprinkles picked out

Here is Sugar Bear with her blank cake and all her sprinkles 

Let the decorating begin....

Here is Sugar Bear's finished cake 

And here is Pooh Bear's finished cake

The best part of the day!  Getting to eat there yummy AND crunchy cakes 

New Lovie

You may remember in an older post I mentioned that 

Sugar Bear's blanket was not going to make it much longer.  

Well.................

Mimi came in and saved the day with a new blanket.  

I was able to pack up the old one and put it in the attic with all 

of her other baby stuff. 

Having problems

I tried a background from a new website and I got burned.  So now I am trying my best to get it back like it was, like I like it!

I am also decorating a wedding reception this Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  Hopefully I will have some pictures of that soon.  Maybe after I get the reception off my mind I can go back to taking tons of pictures and posting more often.

The Luxor Pro Wet Brush

This may save my relationship with Sugar Bear. 

 I bought this the other day when I got my hair cut and it really is great.  You can find it here.

  It is suppose to be for tangles in wet and dry hair.  EVERY morning I get up and listen to Sugar Bear cry while I brush her hair.  But, ever since I got this brush there are no more tears. 

How cool is this....

Sorry I know the picture is blurry but I think you can still see it.  

It is a tent a friend of mine found on Etsy.  

This one goes over a pvc pipe frame you put together.  

But she also sells tents that fit over a card table.  

I think it is so cute and you should check it out. 

But be warned they are expensive.

Story TIme

Story Time this week was a lot of FUN! 

  It was all about Monkeys.  

Sugar Bear had a really great time. 

Her craft was a paper bag monkey mask. 

Notice we gave the monkey a bow and earrings.

A girl has to accessorize (even if she is a monkey). 

My new Do ?!

It is not that different.  My layers are a little shorter and my bangs are a little thicker and the color is different.  I am still trying to decide if I like it but I think I do. 

Pretty Pictures from the Park

Valentine's Night

On V-Day Hubby and I went on a date and this sweet girl watched our girls.  I met her at church last year and I love her and so do the girls.  I trust her completely and I know she cares about the girls.   These days having a babysitter you trust is like having Gold and I am so thankful to have her.  While we were out we saw the movie Edge of Darkness we liked it but....we decided that we don't like watching movies about things happening to the kids.  Once you become a parent those movie are HARD to watch!

Happy Valentine's Day 2010

We started today with going to church. We had a party in Pooh Bears class today but I didn't take pictures. (I know, I know I can't believe it either) And if your wondering yes I made these outfits too.

 

Sugar Bear had a party in her class too.

She got to take home this cute little sucker flower.

After church we went to eat lunch.

The girls love to color while we wait for our food.

While we were eating we ran into one of Sugar Bear's friends.

Finally, they got to open their presents.

They were so patient this morning.

They both saw them as soon as they got up

but I wouldn't let them open them.

I made them wait until we got home from Church.

Cool Princess flip-flops.

And Monkey P.J.'s or as we call them P.P.'s

and matching slippers and panties

And Minnie P.P.'s

Oooh and pretty earrings.

It was exactly two years and one day ago that she got her ears pierced

And last but not least Sugar bear got a new blanket like her sisters.
But..... I am not real sure she is ready to give up the other one just yet.
