Raining Sunday afternoon

After church the girls and i went to Barnes and Noble and got a new book that my sister told me about, Hello Cupcake!  We picked out 2 to make and went to the grocery store for all the supplies.  The girls picked out these 2 animals, the kittys turned out adorable, the horses were a little harder to do and we couldnt find white circus peanuts so orange had to do.... so fun!

Olivia enjoyed eating a cupcake and being goofy!
she found a nail polish bottle in her reach

Olivia was awfully quite last night(never a good sign) Sophia went to checkon her and started yelling for us to hury and come up there. Olivia was sitting in the bathroom floor with a bottle of dark purple nailpolish open and dripped it all over the floor in addition to have painted her toes. Not just her toe nails but her TOES, and in between them. Pretty funny and thank goodness it all came off the floors no problem and none of it got on the carpet or her clothes.

Moral: never leave Olivia too long when she is too quiet, she is a quick one!

Tortellini Soup
on a cold wet Sunday afternoon

the girls were asking for a craft to do and i remembered about 2 Christmas' ago, Nana Dawn giving them some American Girl drawing book and paperdolls. I put them away for a while and saved them for a rainy day (2 years and coming, LOL!) Tiffany loves the coloring cause most the pictures have horses in them and Sophia was loving helping cut you the paperdoll and arranging the scene. Sometimes is is worth it to save something and move it to a different state and 3 houses later...

Thanks Nana
