halle

Me, "kiera, what are you doing with my phone?"
halle, "mama, don't worry, she's just going online"

halle, "mama, lets dump these toys in this bin and recycle them" (i have never used the word recycle, hmmm...tv isn't so bad, right?)

halle put her babies to sleep, kiera is loud as usual...
halle, "mama, can you tell kiera to be quiet, she is going to wake up my darlings"

halle, "mama, lets call your baby (meaning kiera), kiki doodles" (or stinky doo, kiki dinki, halle says this line a few times a day and then laughs really hard, we've all come up with quite a few nicknames for kiera...keeka deeka, deekas, kiki burras, burras, doodles, deeka deeka doos...)

me and tom were having a classic discussion...this isn't my fault, well it isn't my fault, yes it is, why would it be my fault...you get the idea...
halle doesn't like when the tone of any ones voice is sounding even close to upset or serious so she tries to step in to stop it even though she doesn' t know what we are talking about, being my number one fan and defender....
"mama, i know this is daddy's fault, but you still shouldn't sound mean to him"

the day of our halloween parties halle called me "mama witch" the entire day and had to end each sentence with it...are we going to the store, mama witch, will you get me a drink, mama witch. it was funny.

Halle's room

I've been working on some projects for halle's room. i still have some to go, but here are some pics of what's finished. I still need to finish sewing the extra pillows for her bed which are halfway finished...
I bought this bench at the goodwill, it was old dark wood. i sanded it and painted it. i still need to sew a cushion for the bench, but it was done enough to go in her room.

I finally got out my sewing machine that I got for christmas 2 years ago and made the curtains...now on to kiki's room...



isn't it sooo green in georgia!

I bought this off craigslist, sanded it, painted, and put on new handles. it is for all halle's dress up clothes. i hung hooks inside so she can hang them up, it is sooo packed full of dresses, tutus and shoes. halle and her friends have had so much fun playing dress up!

crazy girls

one of these days i'll get a video of halle when she' s dressed. here is kiki walking in her slipper shoe, which she loves to do, but usually just likes one because it doesn't slow her down as much. halle acting silly, as usual, and the girls using teamwork to get the oven open.

Halle's Stool

Today I painted this stool for Halle's room. It matches her bedspread, Halle kept telling me I did a beautiful job. It was kinda theraputic-ly fun!

Happy Birthday, Halle!

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!
Her Royal Highness, Princess Halle, requests your presence at the Royal celebration of her third birthday.
The celebration will be October 17th from 3:00-4:00pm .
The party will be held at The Highlands Playground.
Please feel free to dress in your royal attire...princesses, pirates, witches, dragons, genies, even commoners are welcome.
Halle had a princess party on Friday! I made this snow white cake, it was my first cake, i was so proud of it, but it took me way longer then i thought it would. i should have just bought the wilton cake mold, but i barrowed different parts from different people to pull it off and halle was thrilled! this is halle' s best bud, Ruthie! there was about 20 kids at the party, about 15 families, I had it at the playground in our subdivision, it was a perfect day for a party, clouded over and about 75 degrees, October is the best month to have a birthday in Georgia! nice cleavage, ruthie, and halle's face always goes like this (crocked smile and weird eyebrows) when she says cheese, its really too bad because she has such a pretty smile.
this was the cake about half way through the project. Halle, who is my number one fan all the time, kept saying, "it looks so beautiful, mom, your doing a great job!" and then had to admit, "it looks a little weird". I kept trying to reassure her it would be pretty, but she just kept telling me it was beautiful, shes so nice to me!
I know what your thinking...where did we ever get such a cool cd player? get this...you can turn the cd part over and there's a mirror with lights around it! and the purple part, is fur! JEALOUS!

ok, enough of the cake....back to the party. I set up a table with a bunch of makeup and mirrors and nail polish. the girls (15 girls and only 5 boys, sorry boys!) were glued to this table for the first half of the party, they LOVED doing their make up and each other nails! I set up another little table with snacks and all halle' s tea party stuff. all the girls came dressed up, so cute!
even kiki came dressed up, kiera loves for us to put her in dress up clothes, its really cute because kiera fights getting dressed everyday, but picks out dresses and pushes them into you and grunts till you put them on her, she also loves wings and dress up shoes...princess in training...she's being trained by the best...halle!
i'll post more pics soon, but i wanted to get some up for mom!

family pics

so, nikki's family's pictures are soo cute, i'm jealous. i'm not brave enough to try to get teh whole family looking nice one day and then go get pictures and try to keep both girls happy, let alone just get kiki to sit still. but i really want some now, i'm certainly too cheap to pay a professional, especially since it could be a big waste of money if the girls do not cooroperate. i just want some casual pics of us at the park, nothing special, everything looks better in black and white or sepia anyways, so i wouldn't mind if they used my camera, its nothing special. just wondering if anyone knows anyone out there (even a teenage) who is looking to get into photography and needing some subjects or works for a ridiculously low fee. ok, so maybe me and tom aren't cute enough to make it into a portfolio, but the girls are! OR...if someone else is interested in family pics and if you take some of my fam, i'll take some of your fam.
