The Princess Tea

Once upon a time, in a very happy land, two princesses decided to go to a tea party. The two princesses were best of friends...

Princess Ava and her friend, Princess Maddie



Ava got to color princess pictures,



Make a princess crown,



Decorate a princess wand and snuggle with mommy!



Daddy got to help make a princess hat...differet from a crown...I assure you!



All the little princesses had their turn at "kissing a frog"...And, while no princes appeared...they had fun.




A "cooking" project followed. White chocolate covered pretzel sticks (or wands) with pink sprikles!




Finally, a door hanger...



...help from a friend...



...and a group shot!


And they lived happily ever after~

THE END

Pretty Smiles

Ava and I were outside this morning waiting for Lily. Ava just started dancing and singing. I'm sure if my neighbors weren't awake before this performance, they were shortly after...her singing voice has NO volume control...

She is also modeling an adorable shirt that one of my friends from elementary school made for me. I haven't tapped my sewing skills so I am taking advantage of hers :) She has a shop on etsy if interested, I'll send you a link!

Before...and...After

We added some much needed landscaping to the front of our home...

It's still taking a little getting used to, with nothing there for so long I kinda feel like I live in a jungle :)

Silly Time at dinner

So, yes...I let her "play" with her food :) But it's the ravioli tower...who could resist?!

Playtime with Play-dough and Daddy

Take me out to the Ballgame...

...And - the Cards WIN!!!


Ava enjoyed her fourth Cardinals game with rain that had magnificent lightening but caused no delay in the game. We were sitting on the very last row in our section which was nice because during the lightening, we could stand up and be under roof!



Of course ~ our little gymnast found better ways to entertain herself during those rainy moments.
