When the mood strikes

I have been in such a creative mood lately. I love to scrapbook but haven't done it in awhile...a long while. I miss it, but that's not what my mood has been lately. Lately I want to sew! I've never been a sewer before. My mom has tried for years to teach my but I never wanted to learn. Now I want to sew so bad!!! Too bad I don't have a sewing machine. =) This blog (among others) has been a big inspiration to me: http://thewilkinsinwashington.blogspot.com/2009/09/progress.html
Anyone else feeling creative or is it just me?

Ballerina girl

I know you shouldn't live vicariously through your children (and I promise I'll do my best not to) but I couldn't help but put her into dance. I promised myself if she didn't like it I'd take her out...but she absolutely loves it! Here she is my ballerina girl, a girl after my own heart.

And here she is with her little "polar opposite"...do you know how hard it is to get two almost two year olds to pose? HARD so I didn't even try and this is what I got...mirrror images.

LOVE IT!!!

Nanny would be proud =)

For those of you who knew my Grandmother well you'll understand this post. My brother recently brought me some childhood stuff from my parents house and I was so excited to see these dishes. I have to admit if it had been up to me, these probably would have been long gone! BUT I am so happy that someone (probably Nanny) had the determination to keep them. I washed them while Devin took her nap today and here she sat most of the rest of the day. (I was a bit teary eyed throughout the afternoon.)

Notice the wild nap head hair?
