I have been trying to get a Christmas card for about a week now and also trying to get my lighting down to get a good natural light shot - the girls are sick to death of me making them sit in various places throughout our home and it is starting to show. At least I am not making them change clothes to try and get "that" picture - we'll probably end up with one of our dogs :)

It is a definite favorite in our home with both girls. Violet likes to use cookie cutters and rolling pins and lately Piper has started to create things with hers. She made a face - way to go Piper! Honestly she would have used other colors but I didn't want to open up every single container that we had b/c then the Playdoh gets mixed together or gets hard so they were only allowed 1 each. I am probably holding back her creativity huh?

and I am glad that it is finally, well almost, over. We are all beginning to get well again thank goodness. Today the girls and I went to a mall to walk around a little bit and maybe try and get some Christmas shopping done, it was craziness! I am so ordering stuff online from now on if I can :) What I can't find online hopefully I can find at Target - I love, love, love Target and am in fact thinking of what I could go there for right now! Check out this totally cute hat that we got for Piper the other day but Violet took over as soon as it got in our house - LOVE IT!

Um, seriously I have linked to this mama before and can't stop myself from visiting her blog regularly. Kathleen is such a talented seamstress. I drool every time I see her creations and actually daydream that maybe I could do that too - ha ha ha, right. This week she made a Little Bo Peep - so darn cute! Piper would for sure fit in the Little Bo outfit and I'll bet that Violet could squeeze her little self into that sheep - oh the Christmas cards we could make :) Want to enter Grosgrain's Nordic Bo Peep and Long Lost Sheep Costume GIVEAWAY??? - link before Tuesday!
Read more...and crabby :( Granted we just have colds but babes with colds equals long days for mamas with colds too. Hopefully they will start feeling a little better after their naps since they both woke up this morning at 5:20 am!!!!! Piper really looks pathetic doesn't she?

I missed out b/c of a crazy week last week but Kathleen at Grosgrain opened her store and what a successful opening it was! She sold out of skirts and shirts - wtg mama! To celebrate that success she is having yet another giveaway and this time it is for a $56 gift card to her store to buy whatever you want. If we were to win I would probably choose the Reversible Bird Seed Skirt in Creamsicle Monday and then the Reversible Waffle-Knit Top in Fudgesicle and Snow to go with it - I hope that I win :) She is keeping the contest open until this Wednesday but if you don't end up winning be sure to check out her store by clicking the link below and doing some Christmas shopping for that little angel in your life :)
That is a saying at our house, do you know what it is from? It is from The Emperor's New Groove and Kuzko says it. Our Violet unfortunately has 2 left feet and falls all the time, it is quite funny when Piper says it to her but it sort of gets her not to cry right away unless she is really hurt. She almost always has a bruise in the middle of her forehead, poor thing :( I am not sure what the mark is that you can see in this picture but about 1/2 hour before this shot was taken she fell off the kitchen chair while coloring so I will have to see what will appear this afternoon from that spill. Yesterday Matt told me that I was turning into an old woman (which I knew btw) b/c they were running around the house and I yelled at them to not run in the kitchen b/c of our very hard, very unforgiving tile floor that is in there. We already have a chipped tooth and numerous bruises from it and I just don't want to see both girls with more - where is that magical bubble that I can put them in? I picked this set of pj's for V purposely last night and Matt didn't catch why, or if he did he probably silently rolled his eyes at me. Yesterday he was cutting down our flower garden and I asked him if maybe we could start putting up Christmas decorations - he didn't go for that.
