Fun Friday!

Last night, Carolyn came over and we played with beads and talked. The time goes so fast! We are always shocked when Joel calls. I made a necklace to match my skirt that I will hopefully finish someday!



We both really like bronze. I love this color green! I hope that I can find a shirt to match!

My mom got the girls each a flashing shirt, and they love them!



It is so funny to see them smacking their bellies and each others to get the shirts to flash.



Pnut was very excited about hers because she loves Minnie and Mickey Mouse.

Before Carolyn came and after Joel left, we all painted our toes. Pnut loves to have her fingers and toes painted. Pilly thought we were crazy for blowing on her feet, but she didn't mind:)



This morning, Pnut came to our room at 4:30 and was chattering away. She laid by Joel for a little while, but she wouldn't be quiet so he took her downstairs. He said they laid down here for a while. He had told her yesterday that they would go get donuts this morning so they eventually left to do that. I think she was pretty excited about it and that she didn't want to go back to sleep!



She enjoyed her chocolate-covered donut quite a bit!



Pilly was quite excited about her powdered sugar mess. She gobbled down every bite!

Today, my MIL and BIL are coming up. They are bringing our couch from Ikea! We are getting pizza for lunch so Pnut is excited about that. Lunch also happens to be close to Joann's, and I have two blankets and a bib in mind to make! It should be a fun day!

Silly Girls

I've noticed that things are a little slow around the blogosphere lately. I think this is the winter-is-almost over rut. I know I personally am a little burnt out from all that I did over the holidays and stuff and I just feel like resting! I have some things I am working on, but I guess that the mad rush is over and I feel that I can do it at a relaxed pace now. I do want that skirt by Sunday though. I ripped out all the bad stitches. I then laid on the couch and watched TV. I'll sew it sometime!

We cleaned at my mom's today. They have kitty cats there, much to Pilly's delight. She said quite clearly, "I see a kitty cat." She also said monkey today.



When we got home, she acted like a crazy maniac and ran around and made silly faces.



This is a very silly picture. She kept moving so I had a hard time even getting one. She leaned up against the brick wall, and the dust from the crumbling bricks is all over her sleeve. Don't worry, I wouldn't take a picture of her if she had a cut that big on her arm!

Now, to bed. Hopefully for a night of undisturbed sleep. Ha!

Late Night Awakeness Leads to...Not Much!

Today not much was accomplished. Pilly decided to be up from 12:15-2:15 last night. I guess she was hungry and she finally did settle down in our bed after some cheerios. I don't like to sleep with her because she is still too wiggly and I am afraid she will fall out of bed!

I still didn't finish that skirt! I tried to fix it, and instead I made a different mistake and have to rip some more stitches. I am getting lots of use out of the seam ripper right now!

Is it weird that I like to do the dishes or other activities in the kitchen because I can smell the garlic in the cupboard? I love the smell of garlic!

Pilly has the cutest little nose. It is still a baby nose and so tiny and adorable.

Pnut has been so sweet lately telling us she loves us all the time and playing so nicely with us. She is working on getting better with Pilly and using her kind voice and sharing. We are also working on whining. But she is a sweetheart. She is excited to go to here Granna and Pap's tomorrow.

I need to take some more pictures of these kids! Put that at the top of my to-do list!!

Quiznos is Lame!

Sunday night, Joel got an online coupon for Quiznos. It was for a free sub, and he was pretty excited. He doesn't usually eat lunch, and he doesn't really like Quiznos, or hasn't been impressed in the past anyways. So he goes to one near us on Monday and sees a sign on the door: We do not accept these coupons. They have printed pictures of all these different coupons. Not just ones off the internet but also the ones that are printed in the paper. He decides to try the other one that he will pass during his route. They also have a sign with some coupons, but the one he has is not on it so he goes in. He tells the guy behind the counter that he has it. He is told that they don't accept them there. Then the guy says, "If you want a free meal, go to Salvation Army." Isn't that nice?! Joel says, "Fair enough." The guy replies, "Yeah. That is what this is about. Being fair to everyone." What in the world? If they don't want people to use coupons, why are they printing them. Joel emailed Quiznos but hasn't heard back. I doubt that we will ever eat there. I think he should write a letter to the editor so others will know because that is embarassing to be treated that way!

Joel and I spent a nice evening together tonight, which is not something we often do. However, we ended it in a not so pleasant way with Joel's twisted "Would You Rather" game. Would you rather if I lick you or drool on you? If I whisper in your ear or blow on your neck? Tickle your arm or your leg? It is like his own personal form of torturing me! What a turkey:)

I got my hair cut tonight. It hasn't been cut since September. I always think that maybe I want to grow it out like it used to be, but once it gets a few inches down my back, I think that I am crazy. I just don't like it like that. So it is just above my shoulders again. She tapered it around my face, but I liked it more the last time. I had a different person last time and she made more of a softer taper. This is a little more choppy I think. At least it will grow out!

Have you ever had Cherry Cider? Oh my. I'm pretty sure that they have that in Heaven. It is apple cider flavored with cherry juice and is just wonderful. Our local orchard makes it. I only by a small container because it is expensive, but the girls love it! I try to only drink a little since they like it so much. It doesn't last for long. I am thinking about buying some for my secret sister because it is such a good treat!

I hope everyone had a great day and a good night's sleep tonight!

Curtains!

Taking pictures of the girls' curtains was not quite as easy as I expected. Now, we all know that I am not a great photographer to begin with. Add in the awkward way the rooms are set up, and the results are not so superb!



I really like the way the pink looks against the yellow walls.



I think the two different patterns make a nice contrast.



Today was a pretty uneventful day. I took a bath tonight to relax. Joel brought me a new Ted Dekker book home the other day and I read it. I ended up being in there an hour and Joel came to make sure I hadn't drowned. That Ted Dekker is a wonderful writer. The kind that you can't put down!
