Friday Friday!!!

We made it through another week! Too bad the weather this weekend is going to be so crappy! Anyway, here's a little of what we've been up to this week.... This is what we use for the "naughty corner"...I wonder if Rogue is practicing for her future!
"I'd rather eat this than write with it"

"I'm so cool with my shades"

"what you looking at?"

Roguey will steal you dino too, if you don't watch her! (This one is her Bubba's favorite)

Weekend at Home

Another relaxing weekend at home, if you can say trapped in a small house with 3 crazy kids because it's too cold to go outside, is relaxing anyway. Jet in the playroom
The girls love the toybox!

Andy said he was studying, but I'm not sure I believe him...


Jet's singing on his v-smile
He gets his musical ability from his mother if that tells you anything!

Harleigh is such a cheeser!




Jet and Rogue played firehouse

Rogue and her dolly in the basket! ( I told Andy buying those American Girl dolls last year when I was in Chicago for work was a good idea! The girls do play with them)

Wonder what she's thinking...


Crazy kids!
And just a Rogue update...She's had a really bad cold lately and been very crabby, tonight we learned that she was probably super crabby because not only could she not breathe, she also got in 4.5 teeth in the last 3 days! Now she has 8 total and one more molar that will probably be through in the next few days! Fortunately for us she is feeling much better now.
And a Jet update, we had him screened for pre-school for next year and were told there is no way he is educationally "at-risk" and not to worry about pre-school, but if we still wanted to send him to look into one of the private ones in town. To send him to a private pre-school, anywhere in town costs as much as I pay for my car every month. Needless to say Jet will not be attending pre-school, just hanging out another year and going straight into kindergarten!
And for Harleigh, she's good, just being sweet and silly. We're thinking she might be ready to potty train soon. If you ask her where the potty is she'll go in and sit on the little on at the daycare. I can't wait for no more diapers!










More Dresses

I've managed to finish a couple more dresses.... This is an Easter dress, the other one will be the same, but the fabric is blue and green instead. I don't think I'll be making a whole lot of dresses like these, I have determined I don't like pin-tucking! but it did turn out really cute.
Granny found this fabric for me

I love the ladybugs and you can't tell, but it has little sparkles in it too!


These are so easy! Except I wasn't paying attention when I was cutting out the monkey fabric and they're upside down! Oh well,



2 more easy ones. I love the daisy's they're so bright and the paisly is much cuter in person than in this photo, and looks good with the first brown and blue dress!
I have more in the works, I'm starting on shorts sets, but time is limited, good thing it'll be a while until it's warm enough to need them!

I know I know!

Here's some photos already! It's been a little busy here lately. The kids have been sick, I've been making the girls dresses and Jet pillows, we helped my grandma move, Andy's Aunt unexpectedly passed away etc etc...and to top it all off, the camera battery is dead and I can't find the stupid charger. These photos will have to do until I can get the new ones off the camera. I'll try to be better next time! Jet Cheesing at Granny andPops

The girls love to climb on top of the toy box

Lazy Week

It's been a pretty lazy week for us. Just relaxing and enjoying the semi-nice weather! The highlights:
1) Jet can write his name and it's readable to others
2) Harleigh pooped in the potty, only once but it's a start
3) Rogue finally got her 5th tooth!
Jet practicing his army crawl. This is how he sneeks into our bedroom in the middle of the night. Then he stands right next to Andy a doesn't say a word, just breathes on him until he wakes up.
The girls love to play in this drawer

Rogue is my little laundry helper











Dressed for Success

Here are a few of the dresses I have finished so far... I got this pattern from my friend Heather. It's super easy and only needs 1/2 yd fabric for each dress! I am going to make some shirts of this same pattern and little shorts to go with them. That is the plan anyway.
I love the brown and blue

This is Harleigh's


This is Rogue's



The girls weren't really in the mood to model, but Rogue is a cute little bee anyway

Harleigh in purple. I'm hoping by the time it's warm enough to wear these they girls will have gained a little more weight and they will fit better. I had to take almost 2" off the smallest size of the pattern as it was already!
I ahve 4 more dresses with the shoulder ties to make, 2 more with the buttons, 4 shorts and shirts sets and their Easter dresses. Those will be the most complex things I make and am enlisting my Aunt Donna so I don't mess them up! I'll post more as I finish them.

MMM Chili

We had chili for dinner superbowl night. After dinner I went to get the girls jammies ready for the bath and Andy went to get the bath ready. Neither of us realized the girls werent' buckled into their seats. This is what we found less that 2 minutes later coming back into the dining room....





Two little girls super proud of themselves for getting out of their chairs and covering themselves head to toe with the little bit of leftover food that were on the plates that we left on the table.
