Ada girl turned 4!

Ada is 4 as of yesterday and I just want to wish her a very happy birthday!! She was such a proud little birthday girl. Every time the phone rang she would say "It's probably someone calling to say happy birthday." And most of the time she was right!! She also wore a lovely little "Birthday Girl" ribbon to display her pleasure at having her own day. She is so good and so much fun. As she stood and listened to us sing happy birthday to her, I could see the satisfaction and contentment in her face. She knows she's loved and that brought so much peace to me. I hope my children always know how much they're loved. That's what I hope this birthday thing is all about for us - LOVE! Happy Birthday Ada... the sweetest 4 year old in the world :)

The Adventures of Princesses

All Princesses know that it's important to wash your hands...

....and to brush your teeth. Especially if your going to consume large amounts of candy at your church Halloween party.

Be sure to relax with a little nick jr... every princess needs her free time!

And don't forget to sit & wait a little for that handsome knight in shining armour...but remember it could be a while.

And I don't know why Cinderella never thought to attach velcro to her shoes... when they fall off they'll simply attach themselves to your dress and your home free!!

Clearly this princess is a little more crazy:

She is not afraid to let her true colors show, even if she is royalty!

Little Women!

I love to watch Ada and Mia get all interested in my make-up bag. Ada looks for every possible thing that I might let her use and I explain to her that there are many things in there that she is not allowed to use until she is older. She loves my Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream and Mia loved a little make-up brush. I took a few photos of them to capture the moment:

molasses and me

Well... it's just one of those lets-stay-in-all-day-cause-it's-raining-and-Mia-has-a-runny-nose-and-I-don't-feel-like-going-out-anyways days! And frankly I don't mind those days. Sometimes I get going doing too much and don't take time just to be home and do "stuff".

In my life, molasses and butter on homemade bread could be closely comparable to chocolate. I LOVE it! We had some today on the loaf of bread I made last night and I had left the molasses unattended on the table... top off. Well, while I was working on a little project on the computer, the girls were making themselves at home to the loaf of bread I made. Mia tried to enter the Guiness Book of Records for the most plastic baby spoons put through the hole of a carton of molasses. Thats right... I came out to the kitchen to find her stuffing spoons into the hole. I just had to laugh....laugh and laugh!So funny. And as I attempted to get all 7-10 spoons out of the sticky molasses I had to laugh some more. I guess what made it funnier was that it wasn't her first stunt of the day. Earlier she awoke from her nap and decided to pick at the poop in her diaper. Fortunately I got to her before it got too bad.

As I finished with the molasses stunt I turned around to find Ada with my sunglasses on and using a glasses case as a microphone... again I had to laugh!
It's just one of those days where you feel pretty content staying in and the wackiest things seem to happen and children begin crawling the walls and you. Ever been there??
