, that is always a great motivator to keep at it. I have a dental appointment tomorrow so I feel that will be a little break. Peace and quiet on the drive there. It takes me about 45 minutes, I use to work for this dentist so the drive is worth it. Next weekend is the scrapbook retreat so I am cutting this post short so I can get things ready for the retreat. Have a wonderful evening.
. They are finally over their sickness, yea! But one good thing came out of the colds, Presley doesn't want her pacifier anymore. One down and one to go. Brooke still loves her pacifier only when she is sleepy. I am going to work on getting rid of it slowly. This is a hard time right now. They are starting to cry at the same time or one gets jealous of the other and they both are everywhere. Brooke is a fast crawler now, that girl can move and Presley is right behind her. Bumps and bruises are a regular happening in our house and along with those, comes cries and more cries. So needless to say I am pretty busy right now and I hope I can keep blogging during this time. I know, it too will pass and things will get better. Wow! I sound like I am whining a bit. Okay on a much happier note, I love those two little girls and wouldn't trade them for the world. We did have a great time at Gymboree this morning. We had another set of twins(boys) in class today.
I made this card for a sketch challenge for Poetic Artistry.
I loved this picture because of Brooke's little arm on her daddy's leg. She crawled up to her daddy and set right next to him with her arm on his leg.
. The rest of the paper is Basic Grey Infuse. I stamped the butterfly on shimmery white cardstock with Wild Wasabi twice, I cut one butterfly out and the second I only cut out the wings out. I then attached the wings to the first butterfly so it looked like the butterfly was fluttering. I used the new scallop punch as well as the 1 3/8 punch. The sentiment is a stamp I bought at LSS (Recollections) stamped with Chocolate Chip. I used the Antique Brass Hardware from Stampin UP. The ribbon I bought at Michaels in the $1 bin. I also used the stitches set from Paper Salon to stamp down the side of the card. I really like how this card turned out.
They enjoyed your visit yesterday.
but their little rash seems to be better. They have been a little fussy this morning. I hope they are good for daddy because I am going to a Birthday/Stamping Class today. I am excited to get away for a couple of hours. It will be a fun day and for those of you who are going, the project is so CUTE. I went over last night to help Joni cut paper for the class today. She wasn't going to show me the book but I knew once I got there she wouldn't be able to resist and of course she showed me. Sharon once again you outdid yourself. Joni, thanks for doing such a fun thing for your birthday and including me. I am a little tired from staying up so late last night but once I get out my adrenaline will kick in as always. I must go to attend to my children, they are waking up from their morning nap. I feel I should help my husband until I have to leave. Have a great day!
. Brooke is pulling up onto her knees and trying to reach things. She also doesn't hesitate to kick or push her sister if she wants something from her. I tell her daddy that she is going to be my child that challenges me. She also has started wanting to be picked up more and if we walk by and don't pick her up she cries, a screaming cry. Presley still likes to sit and play. She can entertain herself quite well. But she has been wanting to be held and rocked before she goes to bed. I usually would put them down for bed and start their little bedtime music and mobiles and they would play awhile and then fall asleep. I think she needs a little more TLC since she is a little sickly. They both are still just as sweet as can be and are still such blessings in my life. I am searching for a Mother's Day Out Program. I think it will be great for them to be around other children and great for mom to get some things done.
We had a busy day today. Grandma came over and we went to lunch and then went shopping. I bought the cutest stuff for the girls of course it is for next year being that everything is on sale. We got some great deals. We came home and the girls were so cute they were playing so nice with each other. Presley has started screaming now but it seems Brooke has stopped with her screaming. They were laughing and chasing each other and talking back and forth. It was the sweetest thing to witness. We then went swimming and the girls just had a ball. Oh, and this was the other outfit that Gary and I bought when we knew we were having girls. I am so glad I have these little darling girls. When I found out I was pregnant I really wanted two boys because I knew Gary wanted boys but I can't imagine my life without these little angels. I have to tell you the girls are really recognizing people. When grandma walked through the door both of their faces lit up and Brooke and Presley both got so excited. I know that made Grandma feel special. I love days like this one, we had such a great time and the girls were great. I better enjoy these while I can because I know it is few and far between. I better put my tired self to bed. Goodnight!
I guess I better get them out of their jumpy and let them crawl around. My computer time is over. Thanks for visiting.
My sweet Presley is crawling all over now and getting into trouble as you can see with the blinds. I guess I will have to keep them up slightly so she cannot get to them. My house looks like a maze with all the gates and stuff up. It's much easier to keep it all put up with two crawling around and getting into everything. Hmmm, maybe I'll lose some weight chasing them around, one could only hope. Speaking of weight I started Weight Watcher's last week and I weighed myself this morning and lost four pounds. Yahoo! I have to stay with it because I am tired of this baby weight. The hardest part is drinking all the water because I have to use the bathroom more and with the girls crawling around I have to make it quick or they get into things or fall and bump their sweet little heads. I know TMI, but it's true!
I took these pictures of the girls yesterday. They are both crawling around everywhere. Presley still stops to play but she can get around pretty well.
We bought these outfits when we found out we were having two girls so I had to take a picture of them in these adorable clothes.
My mother in law just stopped by, yahoo! I have help for a little while. I must go to feed the girls. It's lunchtime they are getting a little fussy.
Okay, here is the birthday tin.
