A messy Friday

Daddy was out of town this week and Mommy was not feeling 100% so we decided to end the week by making a big ol' messy mess! The girls had a blast and Mommy got a clean bathroom.

We found this recipe online and in a few minutes the girls had a muffin tin full of beautiful paint to decorate their bath tub.

2 T. cornstarch

1/3 C. liquid soap

Several drops food coloring

Smidge of water to get a good paint consistency
I gave the girls some paint brushes but they had more fun with their hands (no surprise there).

Before playtime was over the tub was covered in a fresh coat of paint. I loved their art work but listening to their songs while creating made the whole evening a blessing. Both girls thanked me as I took them out of the bath... it made a long week end on a perfect note.

After they created for an hour or so it was time to clean up. This lasted another hour. They may of had more fun cleaning then they did creating. The best part... I never asked them to clean and they did a better job than I would have!

Broadway Babies

The girls performed at the Cardinal's Stadium this past weekend.

They had their curls, they had their smiles, they danced their best and above all else, they had a blast!

We were so proud!!

A fairy + glitter = MAGIC

We have a visitor.

She comes into our house in the middle of the night and leaves behind magic dust and a link to the paper chain in the girls playroom.

The girls have named her The Playroom Fairy and she has visited our house twice this week.

And twice this week the girls have cleaned the playroom so that it is fit for a queen.

They put away all the toys (even the ones little brother has left out).

They vacuum.

They spray room freshener.

And most importantly, they make sure the ceiling fan is turned off (fairies don't care for ceiling fans).

Tonight they even left notes and gifts.

I love that the girls believe in fairies.

I love that a little sprinkle of glitter brings magic into our home.

I love a clean playroom.

Curly Sophie

"The girls will need Shirley Temple curls for the next dance show." Really? Have you not noticed my little girl has the most perfect perfectly straight hair?!

Yesterday we purchased these and after some sweet dreams we ended up with the sweetest Sophie Curls.

There was this boy...
