Conference Weekend @ Grandma's

It's Almost July?

Holy cow time flies!! I can't believe summer is like half way over. I have been sulking lately and not posting pics due to my camera battery charger being lost. I've looked everywhere. The only think I can think of is that we took it somewhere and left it. So if anyone sees an extra charger at their house, let me know :)

Anway, here are the pics I took before the batter died.

P's Science Project

P's first science project: What Makes a Better Cookie: Butter, Margarine, Shortening, or Lard?

Suffice to say, we made a LOT of cookies. We had to make enough to have family and neighbors test them to see which had the best taste and texture. She tested 25 people. Overall, (in her experiment) surprisingly margarine won. It tied for taste with butter, but had better texture. I'm still skeptical, but those were the results. To each his own, right?

The Destroyer

S has two names: The Destroyer and The Dragon. E.g. " Watch out, The Destroyer is coming." or "Uh oh, The Dragon has woke." This is what happens when I leave S in the Kitchen while I'm doing my hair. Now we try to put the table in front of the pantry.

Easter Egg Hunt Dos

Another one from Cute Hairstyles Blog.

Easter Dresse

So back in Feb or Mar, can't remember, Joanne's had a sale where this fabric (which is already low-priced) was 50% off. I got a whole bunch and decided to make Easter dresses with it. I saw a way cute dress on Etsy that was priced at like $300 and thought I could make it, so with no pattern I went to it. I definitely had problems, (if you can't tell in the pics.) The hardest part, for some reason, was just getting the simple skirt shape down. Also, the tops were too short. I have since lengthened them, but they went to church that first time with their bellies poking out all the time. Even still, the dresses are P's favorite!

Z's Butterfly Birthday Party!

Since P had a fun birthday party this year Z was allowed to have one as well. She wanted a butterfly party. We had 13 little butterlies come and have some fun! I didn't get very good pics because I was running around too much. I need to remember to take more.

You can find more details of the party here.

Valentine's

Just trying to catch up my posting. Valentine's was heart pizzas and cake. Yum!!

Hairstyles Blog Review

Cute Girl Hairstyles is one of the blogs I check out regularly. It's awesome! I especially like looking at it around a holiday to find out some fun do to do on my girls. Here are some of the dos I've done with ideas from this site.

Um...Hello?

I know this is VERY late, but I meant to post it so I will.

This is what it looked like down here in sunnyville, about last month or so. I thought it didn't snow here. Guess I was wrong.

P's was the only school in session that day. All the others were still out for vacation. She was so sad. Z and the rest of the neighborhood played until the snow was gone. They put a snowman in front of almost every house on our street.

S, on the other hand, was not as thrilled about it. She didn't really like not having control of her feet and being in the cold. I think the only thing she liked was eating the snow.

Christmas!
