Splish Splash

These pictures are from back before Easter, but I thought they were too cute not to share. This was the first time I gave the kids a bath together. They had a BLAST!!! They giggled nonstop! Sara Grace kept reaching up at Jaybird and it would tickle his chin....which made him laugh...which made her laugh. It was a hoot! Now anytime Jaybird takes a bath while Sara Grace is awake, she makes it known that she wants in the tub, too! And, Jaybird has asked me several times when he and Sara Grace can take a bath together again. :) And, I can't figure out how to fix the allignment of the pictures so that they're all even. But, I didn't figure it would really affect your viewing pleasure! :)

*WINK*

I winked at Jaybird the other day and I saw the look appear in his eye that clued me in to the fact he wanted to learn to wink, as well. So, after a little while of practicing all on his own, he came up to me and very excitedly informed me that he could now wink! I asked him to demonstrate.....and now I'm sharing his wink with you! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! :)

Hair Bows!!

In an attempt to satisfy my latest addiction (hair bows), I've been looking at many hair bow and hair bow making websites lately. The more I look, the more I think two things, "I bet I could do that" and "Man, these people are making a killing!!" So, the competitive nature in me had to prove to myself whether I could tackle this feat or not. Much to my pleasure, bow making is not super hard and I had some success (unlike my escapade with the dress I was supposedly going to sew for Sara Grace this weekend--but that's another story entirely!). So, I decided to start big so I could see what I was doing easier. This is a picture of my very first hair bow I made. I still have a lot of little things to tweak and perfect, but I didn't think it was too bad for my first-ever attempt. Since this bow was like 5 inches or so across, it was much too big for Sara Grace's sweet little head, so I gave it to a friend at church whose girls wear big bows. Plus, she's a Georgia fan, so the colors were right up her alley.
So, after the first attempt being somewhat successful, I was itching to make one for my own little honeybee. Here are some pics of the one I made today (it's only 2 inches across--much better size for her little noggin!). And, no, she's not upset about the bow in the first picture...it was just too close to naptime to be doing a photo shoot!!

Circus!!!

We went to the circus today. We had some friends offer us free tickets (SWEET!). It was really fun. The kids seemed to enjoy it....although Jaybird wasn't really fond of the clown and definitely didn't want to have his picture taken with him--not that I can blame him! Clowns are kinda freaky.
Sammy and I both got to try out the tight rope. Very fun. Thankfully someone held your hand the whole way across....oh, and it was only like two feet off the ground! :)

Sara Grace got to try on some circus garb. She thought it was quite fun. I think I would have liked to try on a cute dress like the other girls were wearing. They were too cute! :)
They handed out free clown noses that, of course, we all enjoyed!
Even Sara Grace had a little clown nose that she left on just long enough for a picture! :) There were all kinds of neat shows. The tigers were really pretty. There was a dude that rode a bicycle that was literally like maybe a foot long and six inches high. I have no idea how he did it. And, the rope climber girl was pretty cool, too. We had a really good time! Thank you Jason, Jessica, and Cloe for inviting us! :)

Egg Hunt

We had an Easter Egg Hunt at church the day before Easter. Sammy's parents came up for all the Easter festivities. Here's a shot of everyone on the starting line.
And one of Granny helping Jaybird scout out the prize eggs! :)
And one of Sara Grace checking out her eggs--she was happy with just the orange one, but Jaybird wanted her to have the pink one. He had found it in the field and said she needed it and brought it to her. :) I learned a valuable lesson at the egg hunt that day. Any of you with little girls of your own might want to tuck this away in your vault of random knowledge. *Tights and grass don't mix!* After I picked Sara Grace up from her nice little spot in the field, the tights were COVERED in grass....like it was stuck to them like little porcupines, and it wouldn't come off!! I ended up just trashing the tights--that's how bad it was! :)

Easter

Okay, so I'm going to try out this Blog stuff. :) Here's a picture of us from Easter morning.

And, this is how Jaybird really felt about his suit!! :)

Actually, he's quite fond of his suit. His Granny got it for him for Aunt Missy's wedding that's in three weeks! (YIKES--need to lose more weight!) He especially likes the tie that Sammy and I picked out for him. It's a zipper tie--which is really cool--I'd never seen those before. He can put it on and take it off himself. He, of course, showed this trick to EVERYONE at church on Easter morning!! :)
