Girlie Fun

R2 had seen this pic on pinterest and while we were visiting my grandparents last weekend and playing with chalk we decided to give it a shot. Not bad for a last minute shot and the girls had a blast.

Elephant Watering Can and AL State Flag Cookies

One of R3′s chores is to water the plants. She was carrying a cup of water back and forth to fill it about 3 trips and was asking for a watering can. :) I found the cutest idea in the Family Fun magazine and decided to make it for her.

Here we are gluing on the eyes and ears.

And here she’s showing it off:

Sister had to jump in on the pic:

And here she is using it!

Big brother likes it too:

Later on, after Seester and her crew arrived, we made AL State Flag Cookies.

Wanna make some?

Graham Crackers
Cream cheese (or icing)
Twizzlers (or red piping icing)

Put icing/cheese on cracker, arrange twizzler/red icing in an X – viola!

My Bagel is So Funny

Last night she went with Seester to look at cars and run errands. At one of the dealerships they went inside and the owner had two small dogs (Dachshund and Yorkie) and R2 fell in love. She asked Seester if the Dachshund was a boy or girl and when Seester told her boy she asked how she knew that. Seester told her because she could see his penis – and explained when asked that it was on his belly. The man there looked at Seester like she was crazy, of course (we’re used to that) and then R2 asked where the vulva would be and Seester told her under the tail. R2 lifted up the Yorkie she was holding and said, “Oh that’s not a bellybutton, it’s a penis!” Seester and the man found that hilarious and Seester agreed that, yes, they were both males.

Yesterday

So I think in order to keep up I have to always post about yesterday, LOL.

I came around the corner and was greeted with this:

I cracked up and took pictures – and when R1 rescued Nola R3 put them on and demanded I take her picture, too.

Later Seester came over and we made GF pizza and pizza sticks with the kids. It was a great time for all. And yummy!

Cousins… lots of cousins.

Yeah, we had fun. :)

Washing My Hair

I run a Frontier coop so about once a month we have a huge box full of (biodegradeable) peanuts and the kids always have a blast playing in them (otherwise known as making a huge mess all over the house). Last night I caught R3 and Juju singing “washing my hair” over and over while they rubbed peanuts on their heads.

A few days ago our neighbor Ricky was over playing and he managed to shove himself and my two girls in the box!
