My dress

For those of you who know my Mom, I am not sure how many of you know that she is a fantastic seamstress. There are several pictures of my when I was little (and not so little) wearing dresses she made. (She even made my wedding dress!)

Anyway, she saved at least one of the dresses I had when I was little (any more out there Mom?)and I got to put it on Lydia today. So fun. The embroidery, piping, lace, everything, was done by hand. While having two kids. Wow. Thanks Mom.

Cute Kids

You know the problem with having cute kids? You want to upload every single picture that you can cause they are all adorable. Sigh. I can think of many worse problems to have. My kids are just so cute! So, I have more pictures to share...

Kites

Alanna and Asher had their first kite flying experience last night. The wind was perfect and across from our apartment complex is a grassy area, perfect for flying. So we took them out and had a blast.

And the answer is... No bed!

That's right. It seems that a lot of Asher's not sleeping at nights can be tied directly to his bed. For the last week or so we have had the kids sleeping in the living room as we have worked on trying to get Lydia to sleep more (and they think that sleeping in the living room is tons of fun.)

While sleeping on the floor asher rarely woke up, and if he did it was usually for the bathroom. SO last night we put them back in their room and took Asher's bed out and just set up a little bed on the floor. He slept all night there, so I think that this is what we are going to stick with. Alanna in a bed, Lydia in the crib and Asher on the floor.

I think the problem is that Asher is a mover. If her feels like he is falling out of bed then he wakes up and has a hard time getting back to sleep. Since he can move however he wants on the floor he is totally comfortable. Right now he is in a toddler bed, but I wonder if a twin size would be big enough so he would not feel like he was going to fall off. Oh well, not going to bother about it right now, the floor is good.

Slivers

Poor Asher. He has had two days where he has gotten splinters. Yesterday he got a splinter in his hand from a piece of decorative grass. It was long, thin and kept breaking off when I tried to get hold of the end.

So today he was spinning around a tee trunk, and he came over to me to tell me his hand hurt. So I look at his little hand. There are five splinters in it. Five!! And of course he won't let me touch them and I can't hold him down on my own. So I slapped some Purification on them and I guess I'll let that work on them for awhile. Poor baby, his hand hurts.

I LOVE this Dress
