Finally some Snow!!!!!

*So, blogging has been the last thing on my to do list for too long and poor Sadie needs her toddlerhood recorded like Ella's was cause Lord knows I won't remember it all. So, trying to get caught up...

 We waited til the end of March but finally got a decent snow! It only lasted a half a day before melting but was SO beautiful and Sadie's first real snow since she was so little last year :-)

View from my bedroom window...bliss!!

Waking the girls up to surprise then with snow might be one of my favorite things EVER!!

Sadie's first time walking in snow that was more than an inch high!

Built a snowman with our neighbors 

4 little snow angels 

Sadie's first time Sledding!! She loved it! I couldn't resist acting like a 6 year old and taking my own turns going down the hill :-)

Can't wait til next winter!!

Random March Pics

lots of random, fun pics from March 2013 (see? I'm catching up to the present!)

Sadie and her BFF madi being princess pianists 

Morning hair and a donut :-) keepin it authentic here 

I LOVE that they play together so much more than I expected!

Ella and our neighbor that we walk to school every day. They looked like such big girls to me I had to stop and take a picture!

Love this sweet Chocolate face 

Someone is going on at least 6 months of a bandaid obsession!

E: Mom! Look! I helped Sadie her her pajamas on and we're TWINS!!

Mini me

Can you believe the resemblance?!?

Ottoman remix

We have had this $99 ottoman from Overstock.com for about 6 years. The rips from little fingers have gotten to be an eyesore and its just too tempting for kids to start picking the foam out from inside. So, I sprung for another Overstock ottoman for the living room but wanted to reuse this one.

After searching for fabric and not being able to make a decision, I remembered I had a curtain from our old house that wouldn't fit any windows in the new house. And it fit perfectly for the ottoman!

I hot glued some cotton (free) into the tufted parts (they were really deep and I don't want the foam eventually sinking into them), covered the whole top with foam (about $5 cut to order at fabric store), and staple gunned the curtain (free!). Really happy with it and it matches well in our orange accented bedroom!

ICE!

Took the girls to the Gaylord for their ICE show. Sadie was freezing but I loved it!
