Dress Up

There are several "favorite" things I really like about having girls. One of them is dress up. My girls absolutely love to dress up.

Here are a few examples. In case you are wondering, the other red-head in some picts is their cousin, Eowyn (yes. from Lord of the Rings);

Reason #256,712 that I love having girls

I have a formal dinner to go to tonight. I was trying on my dress last night to see if I could still squeeze into it. The girls came into my room. This is the discussion that followed;

Hudson - "Ooooo mom, you look beautiful!"
Me - "Thanks Hudsy"
Harper - "You are a princess"
Hudson - "Are you going to the ball?"
Me - "Yes I am with a very handsome prince"
Hudson (with big eyes) - "Which one?"
Me - "Daddy of course"
Hudson - "Daddy is a prince?"
Me - "Absolutely, a princess always marries a prince"
Hudson - "Wow, I can't wait until i can be a mommy"

Bicycle Safety

The FHE lesson, the Monday following this photo, was bicycle safety. Don't worry - no kids were present when we smashed this tricycle.

Sun Burn

While we do love spending time outdoors, we don't like the blazing sun on our kids' skin (especially with two redheads).

So, while we went camping a couple weekends ago, we were very diligent in keeping our kids slathered in sunblock any time they were out in the sun. However, we didn't anticipate Tate bending over for hours playing in the sand with his cousins . Ouch! Poor kid.

Pardon the butt crack shot.
