Project 365 - Week 4

Sunday


Enjoying a family lunch at Panera.  After the girls eat, they move to the booth behind us.  That means Mama and DK get a mini-date.   ;)

Monday


The girls decided to have their own slumber party, practicing for the upcoming real one at a friend's house on Friday.  Mom jumped in the middle too, but this pic was much cuter. ;)

Tuesday


DK cooked up a yummy dish!

Oh... and do you want to see what fashion faux pas I made??

Exhibit A


Exhibit B


I suppose it's okay if I had matched my dog on purpose, which I did NOT, but that would make me one of those crazy pet owners... which I most certainly am not.   This mistake was not realized until we left the house.  I was tempted to remove Jasmine's collar... because Mama most certainly wasn't taking off her splash of color! ;)


Wednesday

 
It was a rainy day and the girls felt a little under the weather.  So, we kept schoolwork light, but they always seem to have enough energy to skate circles around the kitchen table on their scooters.  ;)

Thursday


It's hot outside, so Nator breaks out the Moon Sand.  I'm already dreading the turn of spring and summer.  I remember the heat well.  {I found a recipe to make your own moon sand here.}  Oh, and don't be jealous of our greenery... it's only weeds that will be taken care of soon.



Before bed, I just so happen to catch Nator snuggled with Bella and her snuggie, working on her crochet.  This lil' girl is a sweet old soul.

Friday


It's time for the slumber party!



Crazy hats were used as birthday party favors.  Isn't that a cute idea?!

Mama and DK get a chance to go out on a date!  What are those again?  I think I remember... We ended up going to Outback and {because I knew there was actually something there I could eat on this crazy yeast cleanse diet, except...} Mama ate bread!!  Oh, how I missed you so!  We went home and watched a little NCIS.  I think I dozed through most of it.  I've been hitting it hard at the gym these days.


Saturday


We picked up the girls and went to breakfast together.  Little did we know that during this slumber party, they had consumed pizza, cake, ice cream, candy... and to top it off, donuts for breakfast.  4 each to be exact.  Lord. help. me.  Needless to say, the girls were exhausted and teary.  Here's Gracie watching Enchanted ... only she's sleeping {or in a sugar coma}, wrapped up in her lil' princess canopy.  There's nothing like watching a child sleep.

  7. Outback bread was not meant to be passed up...that would just be wrong! That and Panera are two of my favs.

    The girls ate 4 donuts EACH??

    The picture of them in bed together is very sweet. They look like twins.

    I am jealous of your "summer" pictures, though thankful for our "mild" winter. Its all about perspective!

  8. DK's dish looks FABULOUS and I'm really hungry right now. Probably shouldn't be reading 365 posts at this point :-)

    Had to laugh at the matching mom and dog outfits. Too funny!

    The hat idea for party favors is excellent! I'm going to keep that in mind.

    Wonderful photos this week -- of course, your girls are so photogenic :-)

  12. Your girls are so sweet. Slumber parties I remember them well...such fun, but such a pay-for-it-later event!!

  13. mmm Panera, now I am hungry.

    I love the girls sleeping bags, I wonder if they make those for big girls...I need one :)

  14. You know you wanted to dress like your dog. :) That was too funny. I am so bummed I wanted to do this, but I was sick. I did last week, then got sick. If I did it this week it would've been nothing but pictures of tissues and the TV. I never left the couch. :) Fun, huh? Glad you had a fun week.

  15. Love the snuggie pic!

    You are one classy pet mamma!
    LOL the H in your name; my hubby embarrassed me with a similar screen name ;)

  18. Your family is just so pretty. Love that your daughter crochets. I'll have to try that Moon Sand recipe. (Funny, though, I just threw away our real Moon Sand stuff, because it was making me CRAZY!) My kids scooter and tricycle their way all around my house, too. *sigh*
