Sleeping beauties

Found this stream of pics while web browsing. Check out ... Sleeping beauties - TODAY
Ok, this has to be one of the cutest things I've seen in a while. Almost makes you wanna have a two week old to prop and pose. On second thought, I'll just wait and borrow Alisa or Emily's. Up for it ladies??

I love crafting websites

I found this one by clicking on a link at a friend's blog site. I thought of Emily and Alisa immediately when I saw her tutorial on making a maternity skirt from an old pair of jeans and an old stretch knit tee shirt found here. Then as I scrolled through her older posts I found her idea for an ADORABLE homemade play kitchen using a beat up old nightstand table ... or if you're really ambitious and have enough floor space a larger scaled play kitchen from an old entertainment center both found here. And to think, I just gave ours away years ago before a move. Check her out ... here homemade by jill .

Grandparents tea

The spring musical concert was one of the highlights of my young life. I always looked forward to these performances. Gage on the other hand looks as though he's being held on those risers against his will! He hates this kind of stuff. Too bad big guy ... Mom loves it!

4th kid in from the left ...

maroon shirt ...

and somewhat floppy hair (curse you Zach Effron!).

Yep, the one making his hand gestures as discretely as possible ...

that's my Gage.

Sunny and I enjoyed the show.

Thanks for tolerating it Gage.

Sunny's sunny spot

Wouldn't you love to sleep in this radiant rainbow room???

Grandma's Christmas prism catches the best light in

Sunny's sunny window. It's the perfect place for a

pretty princess to catch some Zzz's.
