Knock off necklace


Here is my version of the Stella and Dot Tatum necklace. Maybe not quite as cute but for $3 vs. their $29 I am ok with it :)

Baker Ella

Kids Say the Darndest things...part 2

Every time I tell my mom a funny story about one of the girls her response is alway the same, "did you write it down, you'll forget if you don't!" So here are a couple of funny comments that have come from my girls recently and a little glimpse into my world :)

Sadly the girls have already begun fighting over toys. It basically goes something like this, Ashley has a toy, Ella then decides she wants it and takes it from her, which causes Ashley to take a swing at her or pull her hair ( I know I was not expecting the girl fights quite this early) and finally Ella is in tears. So the other day I was in the kitchen and just heard the aftermath but didn't see exactly what happened, but this time Ashley was the one in tears. When I asked the girls what happened Ashley stood up, pointed at Ella and said, "Ella....DID IT!" Yep, sixteen months old and already blaming her sister.

Ella on the other hand has something funny to say on a regular basis. This morning I was trying to help her with something and she said, "Mom I am never going to learn if I don't do it myself!" Seriously?! Then later we were pretending to be princesses and she said, "mom you can't be a princess until we get you married." Then she told me that I needed to get a "married dress" I asked her if she was going to get married and named a few of her boy friends to see if she thought she would marry one of them and she said, "umm mommy I think I am just going to marry daddy." Then I asked her what happens after you get married and she said, " oh well then it is the end!" This girl is wise beyond her years :)

Longshore Picnic

This was the first year that we attended the Longshore Picnic and the girls had a great time. They had everything you could imagine there pony rides, bounce houses, giant slides, clowns, balloon animals, ice cream, the list could go on and on.

Ashley still loves her ice cream
Ella must have done this bounce house obstacle course at least twenty times
There were races for all the kids
The giant slide
Searching the hay for the hidden quarters.
