Two peas in a pod. Grace had Victoria spend the night last night....and we tried to do all the things that are a MUST at a sleepover. Make over the top sugary snack (check), paint nails (check), stay up late watching a movie (check), fall asleep on couches in playroom and never make it to an actual bed (check), and wake-up at 6:30 eventhough they were up way past normal bedtime (check). Ahhh...I think mommy needs a nap today. :) I love that they are at the age where they want dress alike. So cute.
This was the over the top sugary snack we made. It was super easy.....fun craft alert for those with little people....they loved it. And they were so yummy! Saw this in a magazine last year, and decided to try it this year. It's 3 ingredients: big marshmallows, mini M&M's, and white chocolate bark. You will also need some kind of a stick to hold the marshmallows. I got mine at Hobby Lobby in the baking isle. They have 6 and 8 inch, and the 8 inch was much better to give their little fingers room to hold it while they dipped. So, melt the chocolate per instructions on the package, place the marshmallows on the sticks, and roll them around in the chocolate. Place them on wax paper and decorate with M&M's. They are addicting, so beware......
Don't you love how the little red tree/bush/twig thing in the background changes in every picture? ;) This is what happens when it takes you a whole week to get your act together and dig out all the Christmas stuff.
Mom of three super fun and super cool children (Caleb, Grace, Madeline) and wife to one super cool dude - Andrew. Just living life and trying to do the best we can to mold these little sprouts into who God designed them to be. And trying to be "IN" the moments with them rather than looking back and wishing we had spent more time together as a family. And...to be content. Content with where I am in life as a wife and mom. Content with the circumstances God brings into our lives. Life moves by at warp speed, and I want to be present for it. (Jer. 29:11)
