Sydney learned something new this weekend...

Mom and dad aren't the only ones that can have fun with the 4-wheeler. The neighbor had his 3 girls here this weekend, and all of them were outside playing in the abundance of fresh fluffy snow....when daddy said we should put the girls on a sled behind the toy...he was in the house with the baby, and I was in no mood to injure someone elses' children so their dad took the toy and the girls and all four of em were riding somewhere....2 in the sled and 2 on the back. Syd had an absolute blast! So much so that after we forced her to lay down for a while and rest the first thing out of her sleepy little mouth was I want to sled daddy....so out we went again!

Notice how much the pooch has grown?

I did it....I finally figured out a stool I like....and I can make all 4 of 'em for less than I could buy just 1! Thanks to www.Ana-White.com again ...she had the plans for a chair, I took the plans and went like a runaway train. If you're handy and like them let me know and I can give you the changes I made to them! The base is awaiting a sander and stain, but on top of being way too cold, me being way too useless yet, and the girls not napping I had to make sure I liked the look before I spent too much time on it....just to be torn apart like the last one.

Hadleigh a few days ago....she can hold herself up now and is a pro at sitting by herself.

And a second when Sydney felt lovable.

Now here's my make of the week. I was getting super dizzy being up and doing stuff around the house from having the kidney stone treatment, so I hauled out the sewing machine and decided to take it easy on the couch. Syd picked this cake out of the Pottery Barn Kids catalog a while ago....and there was no way I was paying $40 bucks for it. So a few hours later, a couple sheets of felt and a fancy stitch or two we had a cake! Watch for this, it just might end up in my etsy shop...when I have a few minutes that is!

I'm back! So it's been over a month, and it's been incredibly crazy the entire month and a half!

I'm officially down one kidney stone, and the doctor wants to repeat the procedure two more times to which I directly replied that he was nuts! I was so out of it after the first shot at the big one that I'm not signing up for that again in the near future. I figure if they're not causing pain and not compromising my kidney's they can stick around for a bit.

On to the next order of business....it was warm out yesterday, REALLY warm out, and the puppy just happened to find the old dog's favorite digging spot, I swear there is something buried under our house that compels the dogs to dig out the corner! She best be getting it out of her system before my flowers come back to life!

And now everyones favorite two little girls!

Haddie is 6 months in this one...

Mom's creative genius to keep big sis at bay, and keep the toys within reach...

Oops...sorry baby, you're sideways! Haddie with her first cheeto

And two very sleepy girls...so busy playing they couldn't make it to a comfy piece of furniture

Now that you're caught up I'll try and keep up too. As long as the craziness stays at bay for a while!
