Catch up

We discovered that it would cost more money to fix our ailing computer than to buy a new one so I am now working from our new computer. We went the cheap route so it's nothing great. Hopefully it will last us at least through law school.

I have a bunch of pictures from the last few weeks to post so this will be another catch-up post.

We went to the zoo with my sister-in-law a week ago and the girls loved seeing the animals. I thought the coolest part was this tiger that was right in front of the window looking out at a squirrel (we think).

Cute Natalie trying to poke her head through

One day we decided to try to make marshmallow houses.

Natalie loves marshmallows!

My house. Not too shabby! ;)

Elizabeth yelling, "Hey! I'm not finished!!"

"OK, now I'm done."

We hit a milestone recently. Natalie slept in a big bed. She started crawling out of her crib and since both beds are in the room anyway we decided to move her to the bed. She still naps in her crib and sleeps there sometimes at night when she won't stay in bed (like tonight). She looked so tiny in the big bed. (We have yet to buy bedding for the bed, hence the mismatched blankets and pillowcase)

Now it's Mommy's turn

One of their favorite things to do lately is to make "funny faces", expertly demonstrated below.

The girls got to go to a princess themed birthday party last week. Sadly, they don't own any princess dress-ups so we went in search of some. After not finding any for cheaper than $20 each we went with dollar store fairy skirts and improvised. While Natalie napped, I thought it would be fun to curl Elizabeth's hair. She basically screamed and cried the entire time saying, "I don't want curly hair!" But, I persevered and I think it ended up looking pretty cute. Maybe in 5 years she'll let me do it again. :)

I love this picture. My little princesses.
