New Look?


So again with the Princess/Disney internal struggle. Sould we sell out to Disney? Sucome to the $24 baby dolls. The cheap dress up clothes. The box set of princess movies? And that is just for Millie! The only real word that Milo says clear as day (other than Mommy/Daddy) is "Mickey". Millie knows all the Disney princesses despite only seeing one actual Princess movie (the movie Tangled which she calls "Let My Hair Down"). It's a constant battle that we mom's have. Well, at least Katie and I have. But when you see the smiles on these kids faces, it is all worth it. Disney won this battle.

Thank you to Kelly and Karla for feeding into Millie's love of Ariel and buying her this dress/nightgown. Ariel is Millie's favorite Princess...other than "let my hair down" girl. I like to think it is because Ariel has red hair. Again, she has never seen the movie so how would she know!



low lighting and strobe lights cause for some majorly crappy iPhone pics...sorry about that!

Entrazed by the Princesses beauty

Lazy Sundays

Can you believe that some days we just sit around watching TV?

Saturday morning

Letting Mommy and Daddy get some more Zzzz's.

Music Class 10/6

The kids missed Music Class the other day because we were in Kentucky. So we went to a different location for a "special" music class. They kids had a gerat time and afterwards the teacher let us play with some of the instruments we sing about all the time. And of course there was dancing. Enjoy the videos!

Pink Day

More PJ day

If she is not with her BFF Amelia, then you will always find Millie with her best bud Bailey. This is Bailey striking a pose for the camera. Millie asked me on the way home, if after she grew out of all of her pajamas, could she please get some jammies with Dora on them? I am sure Santa was listening.



Are these girls tall? Or is Millie short? These are some of her pajama buddies who refused to stand still for a photo.






And over in Milo's classroom it was PJ snack time.









I brought all the nighttime books I could find into the classes so the kids could read them. Here my kids are reading some bedtime literature on the way home from school.

Pajama Day at school!

Daddy's Birthday

Shopping for Daddy's Birthday gift at Lowes



This was the gift to Mat from the kids, a Sobakawa Cloud Pillow!

singing time

Making up her own lyrics.


This cracks me up every time. Whenever this song comes on Millie immediately pretends she is asleep. It.is.hilarious and makes me laugh each and every time.

Dancing to some Diego


She is very proud that she can now pump her legs to make the swing go!


Swinging like a monkey

eating my carrots

finally, one veggie that the both eat!


Many times we wake up in the morning and find this...
