I {heart} JBF!

I didn't volunteer at the Just Between Friends (JBF) Sale at the Fairgrounds. I did decide to consign a little bit, though, so I could go to the presale. Since I didn't volunteer, I didn't get to go until 5:00, and it had been open since 12:00, but there were still great deals to be found!

I got TWO pink Miracle Blankets for my friend Josie for $5. Yep, BOTH for $5 total. They are $30 EACH new!

I got a "baby" swing for our swingset for $10 and it's like new! We already had one, but both girls want to swing at the same time and Natalie's just not quite steady enough on the "big girl" swing, so they argue. Now they can both swing at the same time! :) Brad actually hung it up as soon as I got home (at 7:30!!) and they both got to swing for quite a while! :)

I also got 5 Aiden + Anais muslin blankets (3 "original," 2 "Target") for $15 today. They retail for $30+ for four!


I did not let myself even walk into the 24 month section. Mollie has plenty of clothes. That was my mantra. I'm proud of myself!

Natalie, on the other hand, has NOTHING. OK she has some swimsuits, a coverup, 3 pairs of shorts and 3 hand-me-down t-shirts that are not in the best of shape. That's it. So here's what I picked up for Miss Nat. I got everything below for $100.50 before tax! I didn't pay more than $3 for any shirt/skirt/top, and the dresses were $4-6 each. She LOOOOOOVED the dresses. Her eyes lit up with every single one. Glad I splurged and got more than I knew she would really need. Maybe this will make our mornings easier since she is officially 100% boycotting jeans or any type of pants with a zipper and button or snap!

SUPER cute outfits! One of these was only $2 total!


Couple more cute outfits with skirts and then some single tops.


Dresses! And the bathing suit.


More DRESSES! :)


Jammies


I think we are now SET for Spring/Summer! :)

MOLLIE!

OK so if you wanna know why I can't get totally awesome and amazingly beautiful pictures that truly capture the essence of Mollie, here's why:

Perfecting the POUT


Looks like she's gonna be our brown-eyed girl!




Downward-Facing Dog, Anyone?




*SIGH*
The other night, she would sit in my lap, and I'd ask if I could take her picture, then she'd stand up, face me, say cheese, then plop back into my lap, all within about 15 seconds. Then she would say, "I see it!" Yeah . . . I could barely even raise up the camera, much less take a photo. So for now, these are what I've got. :)

Pigtails

I'm doing a bit of catch up here, but these photos aren't too old. We determined that we could do REALLY good pigtails in Miss Mollie's hair, which of course made Natalie want pigtails too. Now she's pretty much obsessed with them and has been for about a week. They are cute and fairly quick to do in the mornings, so I can't complain.

Our TREE!

Ever since we've owned a home, I've wanted a PRETTY tree. Brad isn't all too keen on them, being that he's the one who does the mowing and most yardwork. But with our new home came . . . a tree! Since we moved in in October and I know nothing about trees, we didn't know what kind of tree it was. It was all bare branches and dried-up looking berries of some kind. Well, lo and behold, I still don't know what kind of tree it is, but it's PRETTY! Natalie goes so far as to say that it's BEAUTIFUL! I looked up one day, and it had pretty white flowers ALL over it! We love it!

Spring Fever & Football?

These pictures crack me up because even though Brad is an avid football fan, I'm not sure that he's even tossed a football around with these little sweeties yet, and he was nowhere in sight as they were playing what Mollie calls "CHATCH!!" as she tosses the ball in the general direction of a sometimes unsuspecting recipient. :)

Twinkle Twinkle & More

This is long and random, but I wanted to capture some of what the girlies are doing right now, especially Mollie because I feel like we don't have any videos of her! This was actually taken about 6 weeks ago, on my birthday!

Mollie Sings Backup

I took this back in February, but never posted it. Mollie will still sing the "Hey!" part of Jingle Bells. It cracks us up! :)

More Ballet!

We have been so excited and impressed with the strides Natalie has made in her ballet class lately! She's one of the youngest, and she still enjoys playing around a bit, but you can tell she's really paying attention to Ms. Jesi and trying to learn some real ballet! Yay Nat! She has SO much fun, which is honestly the most important thing to us! I took a ton of pictures last week and I just can't pare them down any more than I already have, so here are a BUNCH! Enjoy! :)
