Around the house!

usually i save these kinds of activities for when kiera is napping, but she actually sat there for almost an hour making cookies with us! I am excited that she is becoming more of a playmate. The girls had a blast. mostly they ate dough. this is a picture of halle drinking the sprinkles.
kiera has been jealous of halle's chair for a while now, i found the pink one at a yardsale and so now each princess has their own princess chair. they are so cute drinking their milk and watching cartoons together in there little chairs.
it's been a lifelong dream of mine to own a chia pet. i can still remember watching the commercials and longing for one ("chi, chi, chi ,chia", remember the jingle?) I saw this one brand new in the box at the goodwill and it was like xmas morning. I rushed the girls home, ripped open the box, let halle paint it, planted the seeds and only 3 days later we had this. the grass is longer now, but i'm pruning it everyday, determined to keep it alive!
kiera loves to wear purses and stethescopes around her neck. its cute, just like halle at her age, shes like a miniture lady in training. btw, this purse is from walmart, they are in the craft section, only 2 bucks, they look like little skirts, i got halle some fabric paint and she decorated it.
i have been painting the furniture for halle's room for a few weeks now. we go outside everyday during kiera's nap and halle paints scrap wood and her table. its so hot and humid, but halle loves it! yestarday she asked me, "mom, how come you don't paint naked?" wouldn't the neighbors love that?!

they are nudists in the making. don't be surprised when they go and join a nudist colony instead of going off to college.

I think the neighbors would LOVE that! You should take Halle's advice. You might get some more volunteers to help you paint! :)
