Superheros

I know I have not posted in almost a month, but my previous computer dies and I had to get a new one. I'm still adjusting to the upgrade of Windows 10 and trying to pull my old files to the new computer. I have tons of pictures to share over then next week or so as I get caught up. 

The first set is from when we decided to make superhero capes out of dish towels and chip clips. Easy and fun for everyone!

Wagon

We went to a friends house and enjoyed a play date with their daughter, who is 2 months older than Harriet. While we were there I took turns pulling the girls in the wagon. At one point Estelle decided she wanted to pull the two younger girls. She did really well, especially with the turns.

Easter Egg Hunt

We took the girls to their first Easter egg hunt this year. We went with Grandma, Aunt Kelly, Andrew and Ben. It was a nice event and perfect for all the kids. I look forward to making it a tradition. Here are a few of the group gathering eggs. 



Estelle put her sunglasses on top of her hoodie and would not let me help fix them. She's becoming a very independent little lady.  


Harriet's basket full of eggs

Here we are attempting to get Harriet's face painted. Originally I was only planning on Estelle, but Harriet walked up to the open chair and climbed up, so we went for it. She got a purple Easter egg.

Braids

I braided Estelle's hair the other night after bath time. She did so well sitting still for me while I finished up the braids. When we took them out the next morning and she had so much volume that she looked like Hermione Granger from Harry Potter. I forgot to get a picture of that, but will next time :)

Furniture Box

I bought a new chair for out bedroom. Of course it was shipped in a very large box. The girls have had so much fun playing in it the last week. Here are some pictures of them enjoying themselves/

Gentiva Brown Bags

The company that I've worked for for 10 years was bought out about a year ago by Kindred and we just recently were renamed. With that transition, our office has to clean out lots of marketing and promotional materials with the old company name and logo. One of the items being tossed was Gentiva brown paper bags that we used every year for our food drive. 

The crafter in me (with two very young girls) could not let that precious "material" go to waste. So I brought home 100+ brown paper bags to add to my crafting room. My goal is to use the material in many different ways and post them here and at my office. Here are the girls wearing their bags. For some reason once they were both suited up, they decided to have races around the house. It was great, cheap fun!

Estelle's Big Girl Bed

We finally transitioned Estelle from a crib to a toddler bed. The last time we went out of town and had her sleep in a pack-n-play we realized just how big she gotten. It was time. She did amazing with the transition and has had no trouble adjusting. The best part is that she still stays in bed until we come up and get her. I just wonder how much longer that will last....
