I found this cute matching doll dress set at Kohls. Lily had to have it of course. She put the doll dress on "kiwi". That is the name of one of her dolls. I am not sure where the name came from but I thought it was funny. Kids can come up with the funniest things.

THIS IS CRAZY!

I think we have gone a little overboard with crocs! If you notice the tan ones in the corner, those are mine. Buddy has two pair and the rest are the kids. I actually hate the things for myself. But, for the kids they are so easy. They love them! Sean had to have Lightning, Mickey & Roll Tide ones and of course the bright green. Lily's newest ones are the mary janes and of course the old ones are the much desired and totally Lily hot pink!

Anyway, I was cleaning house yesterday and started my daily routine of picking up all the crocs laying around when I got the idea that I needed to take a picture of how many pairs of crocs I have to clean up each day and share with my blog friends. Sean puts on a different pair everytime he goes out. I think he is a bit OCD and gets it honestly:) Let me add that 2 pair more were MIA and are not in the picture. :)

Easter Eggstravaganza is something we look forward to each year at our Church. The kids have so much fun with many things to do such as pony rides, giant inflatables, face painting, arts and crafts, live praise music, egg hunts, games, rock climbing walls, food and so much more.

Heather & Sophie met us there today as well as a friend of Sean's from Montessori & church.

Here are a few pictures:

Chef Sean

Sean has been begging for weeks & weeks for a "chef costume"! He absolutely loves costumes anyway as some of you know. I think it may have been the movie Ratatouille or something. He wanted to make something last night so we made sugar cookies. He loved rolling out the dough and using the cutters.

I got these 16x14 panels at Costco photo online for only $2.99 each! Great for framing. The Lily princess I ordered a 20x30 for her bedroom wall abover her bed. That was only $9.99 which is cheaper then snapfish and the quality is just as good to me.

Our Pirate & Princess

These two are definitely Buddy's kids! They love to dress up! They love to perform and they love the camera. We did a photo session at ASF (Alabama Shakespere Festival) yesterday. The kids were so funny saying unprovolked things like "aarrrr!" and "your majesty"!

These costumes do however have a specific purpose. We are going to Disney in a few weeks and they are having a very special event called the Pirates & Princess party which we will be attending. This will happen after dark in the Magic Kingdom and last until midnight. There will be special fireworks and a parade themed around pirates and all the princesses. They hand out loot bags and treasure maps and you go around searching for the treasure. Plus many rides will be open. I am 1000 times more excited then they are at this point.....Sean is finally going to be old enough to do the Pirate Cruise and Lily, the Bibbity Bobbity Boutique! Sean will be celebrating his birthday once again. We went in spring last year and loved it so we now have a new favorite time of year to go.

Spring Break has started out great. The weather is nice and we have a ton of things planned (zoo, park, movies, cousins etc.). Buddy is teaching so it will just be me and the kids. I am also going to try to catch up on a lot of my sewing for Lily's Couture that I have gotten behind on. I started trying the custom hightops. I have not posted them on the website yet. They are polka dot with groisgain for laces. I will try to get a picture on the couture site soon.

Daddy's Anniversary Gift.....

hp tx 1000 z Tablet (so cool) He has been wanting!

Ok, this is a little unfair I know. He sort of bought this himself And I can use it as well. He has no intrest in my new sewing machine whatsoever. So, I feel a little bad about it. At least I won't be spending any more money getting Lily's things monogrammed though.

Mommy's Anniversary Gift......

I have the best husband in the whole world.... And no, not just because he bought me this!!!! I have been really wanting a monogramming & embroidery machine for a long time. I never ask for anything though so I figured I would never get one. He surprised me with this online order Saturday morning. Our anniversary is really next week (we are actually going away this year without kids) I am going to be a monogramming fool now and it should really help in my Lily's Couture business.
