Gram & Mollie | Kindred Spirits :)

I was uploading these photos and realized that Gram and Mollie share a love of dolls! :)



And here's another sweet one of Gram & Nat


Happy Monday to you!

Mollie's Very Hungry Caterpillar Party

I had so much fun planning Mollie's second birthday party. She probably didn't have as much fun as I did working on it, but she did seem to really enjoy her day. :) It's hard to believe that she's now TWO!

We had ALL of the food that the caterpillar ate! I took photos of each thing, but I'll spare you. Here are some of my favorites.



The cupcake cake. It wasn't quite what I had envisioned because Wal-Mart totally messed up my order (gave me WAY more red ones than I asked for), but it was kinda cute.


Mollie enjoyed it, anyway!


Brad's brilliant idea for the kids to eat - since it's hard to "seat" a dozen kiddos under the age of 4, we let them have a picnic on a Very Hungry Caterpillar made from posterboard.


And some other random party pics. :)

Happy Birthday Mollie!

Today marks my littlest little one's second birthday. We went out for a real live photo session to mark the occasion.

















Happy birthday, my sweet, funny, loving, feisty, adorable, mischievous, beautiful baby!

Popsicle Time!

Thursday when Brad took Natalie to her dance recital rehearsal (video of THAT to come soon!) Mollie and I played in the backyard. She enjoyed her first outside Popsicle of the summer and kept asking to go in the "wa wa," so we put on a swimsuit and she never did even dip in one toe. Can anyone tell me why a 4T bathing suit fits my 23-month-old (whose 24mos/2T pants fall off!) better than my 3.5yr old? Answer: swimsuits are crazy!

















P.S. I've posted something on the blog 4 days in a row! I'm on a ROLL!

Zoo Day!

Brad took the girlies to the zoo today while I was at work and sent me these pics from his cell phone of the girls with all of the different bronze animals. Made my day! :) Then they picked me up at we had lunch together! The girls were sweaty, sunscreen-smelling, and happy. :)

When I got in the car, I asked Natalie if they got to see the new baby elephant. She said, "Yeah! But I didn't get to ride it." :) :) :)

Oh, and here's a quick video too:

Memorial Day Week

Here's how we've been spending our Memorial Day week. It's like a weeklong event in our household since daycare is closed this week for teacher training. :)

Oh, and before we get to the pics, I wanted to say: we are DONE with the three-day potty training thing with Mollie. She.is.not.ready. Although, we've created a lot of potty interest because now her babies go potty all the time, she is starting to tell me when she pees in her diaper, she's a bit happier to sit on the potty (before bed, naps, leaving the house, etc), and she wants to wear "moush pannies" AKA Minne Mouse panties. :) So it's a work in progress, and that's a good thing.

Now the photos...

OK I know they don't look thrilled, but I think it's because I was attempting to make them stand still for a photo before they could get in the pool. :)




This little blow-up pool? May very well be the best $10 we've ever spent. :)






Who says you can't wear a nightgown and fairy wings in the front yard after breakfast? Not us!






I'm kind of dying with the cuteness of this last one. I could not for the life of me get Mollie to stand right next to Natalie, but it's pretty endearing like this I think. :)

Little Mamas

Trying to take MORE PHOTOS! Here are a few I captured of our girlies playing with their dolls tonight while we were working on dinner. :)












I am seriously loving these good photos of Mollie that I've gotten lately, by the way!
