Mischievous Little Girls

The two youngest of my girls, Celeste & Trinity, have been quite naughty and mischievous in the past couple of months. I must say, they make quite the team. Both look so sweet and innocent...

Until they do things like...let the dog chew on our toothbrushes...dump out all the dog food on the floor...pour milk into all the drawers in the refrigerator...dip my brush into the toilet...pull out every last wipe from the box...pour baby powder all over themselves and the floor...pull out ALL the clothes from the drawers...and this week they did this...

they are mixing up the dog food and water with my cooking spoons. Water was everywhere on floor and them. If this wasn't enough this might give you a laugh...(this picture looks weird because it was taken from my phone)

It was very quiet in my house the other night and I knew that these two little ones were up to something...they snuck a bag of chocolate chips into their room and hid on the side of the bed and helped themselves. I couldn't help but laugh it was too funny, and might I mention...this was 10 o'clock at night.

Swimming Lessons

Yesterday I took the girls for their first swimming lesson of the summer. Last year they did really good and learned a lot, so I wanted them to continue this year. When Celeste woke up in the morning I asked her if she was ready for swimming lessons, and she said "Yes momma, but I don't want to dive." I thought that was too funny. My cousin gives private lessons at her house, so it's really nice they can be one on one with their teacher. On the way they were so excited, but as soon as we got there neither one wanted to go first. They went back and forth for a few minutes until big sister finally gave in.

So Lilah went first and did a great job. She picked up right back where she left off last year. No more floaties!! First, she practiced her kicking with the kick board...

She picked up rocks from the bottom of the pool...

She practiced her kick while on her back...

and jumped in a few times...

Then she was finished...whew...great job!

Next was the little one...this is what she was more interested in...

the goggles. All she wanted to do for about the first 5 minutes was play with them. Doesn't she look too cute? I don't think she ever put her head in the water so the goggles were more like an accessory (just like a girl). This is what she did during her lesson... kicked with a smile on her face...(sorry a little blurry)

She was supposed to pick up rocks off the third step, but she decided the first and second were better...

She absolutely refused to put her head under the water, which I don't understand because at home she always puts her head under when she is in her little pool. Then Celeste did this about 20 times...

Then the dog decided she wanted to go swimming...

Lilah and Celeste did so good, and they were so proud of themselves. Lilah told me in the car, "Mom I think I am better than the swim team."

Favorite Things Friday

Again, this week my post comes a little late. My husband took my camera this morning to a job site to take "before" pictures, so I had to take pictures when he got home.

I love love love my diaper bag! Sounds funny, but I really love this bag. I have gone through sooooo many diaper bags over the years with three babies, and I have to say this is my favorite!

I custom ordered it from Polka Dot Bag Boutique. It is handmade, and it didn't take long at all to get. She makes all kinds of things, and has a little bit of everything. You can match all your baby accessories with the same fabric and style. I just love all the little ribbons tied on the top and the fabric is so unique.

She monogrammed my daughters name on it and it looks too cute! I would always get frustrated with other diaper bags when I would have to stack everything from the bottom. This bag holds EVERYTHING, and I feel organized! I put all my stuff in the side pockets and the diapers on the bottom.

I don't know about you, but I am ALWAYS having sippy cups spill all over my diaper bag. After I finally realize it is there, it smells like old juice. I know sounds gross, but you moms out there know what I am talking about. Well it happened once already with this one, and I mean juice everywhere. I just took everything out, and washed it in the washer on the hand wash cycle, and let it air dry. It looks like new. She sent washing directions with the bag, so I would go by what she suggests because some washers might be different. Anyway, I think I am going to order the matching wipe case and a beach/ pool bag. They are too cute. So when you have a chance check out her site I bet you will love it!

Show Us Where You Live Friday

Delilah & Celeste's Room

Kelly, over at Kelly's Korner hosts a home tour every Friday called Show us Where You Life Friday. I'm going to do mine today, but will post a link to it tomorrow on her site. Every week she asks people to post about different rooms in their house. This week is Nurseries & Children's Rooms.

First I must explain our house, we originally rebuilt this house to sell, but we couldn't immediately find another house we liked, and I fell in love with this house when it was all finished, so we decided to stay here for a while. Lilah and Celeste share a room although only Lilah sleeps in there. So this week I will show their room.

They decided on hot pink as a paint color, and the original plans were to have glitter in the paint, but I just imagined it all over the floor, and decided against it.

I wanted to get them a quilt for their bed and I found this one at Target and I love it! We went to Disney World during Christmas and New Year's and the only thing Celeste wanted was that Minnie Mouse pillow. She absolutely loves it.

This piece of furniture was hand painted by my grandmother. It used to be in her bedroom, and recently my grandfather gave it to me, and I will treasure it. It is so special to me, and beautiful. The tea set on top was given to Delilah from my mom, and the baby in the picture is Celeste. So sweet!

Lilah was painting one day at home and when she finished I thought her paintings were so beautiful and matched her room. I bought these frames and hung them by the bed.

I didn't want to put curtains over the windows but I wanted something decorative over them, so I found these for only $7 and they look great.

They each have their own dresser and this one is Celeste's...


I really wanted white furniture, but my husband just knew that it would get written on.
So we decided on this cherry furniture and I have to say it was a good choice. Here is Lilah's dresser.


The Disney TV is sooo big... its time to get a smaller one. I wonder if they make a pink LCD? Anyway its great so they can watch movies in their room. I'm not really a fan of toys ALL over the room, so I like to hide them in containers under the bed or in the closet, but here is their kitchen and a few toys.

When I was taking these pictures the girls wanted me to take one of their Christmas present, and a little girl snuck into the picture...

Well I hope you enjoyed the tour of my girl's room. The next room I think is the master bedroom, so I'll do that one next time.

Remember tomorrow is Favorite Things Friday! See ya then.
