My Birthday Weekend

What a fun weekend we had. Starting on Thursday (my birthday) the four of us enjoyed a dinner out together. Then on Friday we joined Dan's parents for dinner and then some fun at the park. And finally on Saturday, we met my parents and went out for dinner followed by a walk in downtown Mishawaka's river walk. I'm birthday-ed out, but how nice it has been to have no kitchen to clean up nightly!

Boothe joined Magnolia on a trip down the slide...and BOY, did she LOVE it!Our little monkey climbing up the slide sideways.Look at that face. All her feistiness, sweetness, stubbornness and spirit captured in this face.More slide.Tickle, tickle, tickle.Showing off on the big slide!And Saturday's walk by the river...

Mame was over in the corner having a heart attack while this picture was taken since Magnolia was close to the water.The fam...Stopping to smell the flowers...and then ripping them from the pot.
Thanks everyone for the wonderful weekend! I wonder what adventures the next year will bring as I enjoy the last year of my 20s! ha

Welcome to the Dollhouse

Mimi dropped this dollhouse off at our house last week and since then the girls have been fighting over every square inch of it! ha

Dan's parents wanted to get the girls a dollhouse. We looked around for awhile and I finally took Magnolia to the dollhouse store and let her play with the houses and this is the one she was drawn to and played with most of the time we were there. We all think it is just darling! And the girls can't get enough of it.

Here is a picture of the inside of the house, but I will take more detailed ones soon and post those too. I also need to get a shot of the outside front of the house.Shortly after Mimi dropped off the house. Magnolia was so excited to play with it, she started dancing and jumping and spinning around!That evening we carried it up to Magnolia's room where it will stay. Here are the girls after bath time, playing with the dollhouse toilet. haBoothe lifting up the roof to reveal "Boothe's Nursery" and "Magnolia's Bedroom". I forgot to mention that the dolls that live in the house are a mommy, daddy, little girl (M) and baby (B). Did you even notice the dollhouse in the background? I find it hard to get past the baby buttcheeks, especially with dimples!This makes me think of the Doublemint Gum jingle...
More detailed dollhouse pictures to come. It was seriously fun picking out furnishings for the house. And I may or may not play with it when the girls are napping....

By the way

There is nothing wrong with sitting nude on the floor of your toy room doing a puzzle. Completely normal, completely.
