St. Pattys day

I've never been big into celebrating random holidays such as this... But this year Emma was old enough to actually get into activities I had, it was a blast!

I set up a sparkly treasure hunt the night before and drew out a toddler friendly map. When Emma woke up I told her the leprechaun left her treasures but she had to find them using the map. She really got excited about it and was able to find each treasure.

We did a four leaf clover with peppers craft which she really enjoyed. Her favorite part was sprinkling the glitter on the papers.

AddiLyn took a little nap in the swing while Emma was pushing her. Lucky day for sure!

We made rainbow fruit sticks. I told Emma I was taking a picture for daddy and she ran and got the camera and snapped her own little picture.

AddiLyn :) 

And at the end of the day we played dress up ;)

It was a fun day, and the beginning of a few new fun traditions.

Sisterly love

My girls are both a little on the emotional and feisty side. So things aren't always pretty between them. But when they are playing and getting along, it's so beautiful. It makes my heart swell. 

And I have to snap a picture so I can remember these moments and the wonderful feeling that accompanies them. 

Emma and my chunk in the making Addi drinking her bottle. Emma loves feeding her, AddiLyn gets a little crazy when Emma feeds her though, she gets so excited and kicks like crazy and then starts choking on the milk. It's quite entertaining.

AddiLyns bite mark on Emma's arm :( 

Happy moments end like this usually.

Monkey babies 

Love these sweet girls.

Bows for daysss

I have little outbursts of creative energy, those are the times I do big house projects. I've painted walls, refinished furniture, crafted, all sorts of things. My most recent little outburst was creating bows. This has been so fun because it involved the girls. 

I made a boat load of baby girl head bands and bows last week, I sold them and made over $70 in less than a week. I even made an Instagram page for it... 

Someone told me I needed to start an etsy business with them but I'm kind of already over it. My creative outbursts are short lived, but intense. 

It was fun though! 

Someone bought all these for $20, and then came back and bought a bunch more. Whew. I'm quite a perfectionist though so it was stressful, everything about them had to be absolutely perfect or I started all over. 

It was wild. I felt busy, rich and accomplished this week ;)

I'm done with that garbage for awhile. I'm ready to be lazy, poor and unaccomplished this week.  

Snow days in Texas

The last couple weeks we've gotten quite a bit of snow (for Texas). In fact, we had almost 3 inches at one point, while down in Idaho they had no snow. I doubt that happens very often. 

We loved it! Emma woke up every morning and looked out the window and would want to go outside before she even had breakfast. So out she went. I got both girls bundled up and took them out. 

'Ma my shoes fell off...' Haha this girl was kicking so hard her shoes flew right off.

This was the first snow fall, it was so Icey, the snow was crunchy and hard.

The second snow fall was so sticky so we built a snowman while Addi was sleeping. Meet Olaf. ( I betcha there were hundreds of snowmen named Olaf that day)

Emma's been really into taking pictures (takes after her Grandma Millward maybe??) so I was pretty impressed when she took this with my phone and actually got me in the picture :)

4 hours later. 

It ended up snowing a lot more a couple days later. It was so much fun!!
