So I love getting gifts and I prefer to be surprised because I think it's ultra sweet when my husband thinks of something on his own, it's so cute but this time around he didn't really want to do that. So we were talking about it days before Mother's Day and so I told him what ever he wanted to get me, and he said well give me some suggestions. Well... our mixer broke and so I told him a new one would be nice, and he could get me a book to do jewelry since that's my new thing, and well he said I've got an idea for the other one. Also as one of my gifts I bought and made my new dress and the girls matching skirts... it was great.
Daphne is our little eater and so we put her in the highchair and put some crackers down or some puffs and so she just eats and eats. Most of them end up in her chair because she picks them up with her chubby little fingers and can't figure out how to get them in her mouth half the time... but it's super cute. Sami loves eating the puffs too... she loves taking them away from her sister but usually Daphne thinks Sami standing there is funny... she plays peek a boo with her, and so it is good and bad!
I don't know what I am doing but... this is the only full length picture of my dress. It is short sleeved. I wanted more color and so I am wearing this sweater, it's always cold in our building too... especially the Relief Society room. No matter where i sit I am always in direct line of the air... it's awful!
Me and my girls.... notice... Daphne has her fingers wrapped in Sami's hair... (I didn't notice)
Now... Sami is mad, and I am thinking... what the heck... just pose for the dang picture...
Me and Daphne... with a very happy face... you can't see the hand full (literally) of Sami's hair in her hand... After we were done with the picture and Dave was comforting Sami I grabbed Daphne's hand and saw a lot of hair... it's so bad.... Poor Sami... it reminds me sometimes of Charlie's Angels and how the creepy thin man always pulls hair... yeah... hopefully as Daphne gets older she will stop doing that... Sami has such beautiful long blonde curly hair and Daphne loves to yank it out! How much can you punish a 7 mo old? Actually she will be 8 mo on the 23rd... I just tell her no... we don't pull hair... and have to hold her hands together... she thinks it's funny, she thinks everything is funny. Unless it's night time and she wants to just eat and not be put in her pjs!
My parents were out of town and so after church we took family naps and than it was 4 when we woke up, it was so nice outside I told Dave we needed to go on a walk. Daphne had fun!
Sami had just woken up, and she didn't like the rocks in her sandals... she kept saying something that sounded like green... maybe swing, but she wouldn't so we didn't stay long! I hope you all had a great Mother's Day. I also got an adaptor for my Ipod that plugs into the wall and so I just plug it into that and it is constantly charging it and so I don't have to plug it into the computer to charge. I have been wanting one of those fancy base's that you set it in, but Dave is against those... he has done studies and the sound quality is horrible and so he has it hooked up to a bass speaker and two computer speakers... it works just great for us! I love it... I can hear it all over my house! My husband is so good to me.
I made pasta shells and salad and black bottom cupcakes and so we had our neighbors over for dinner the Meyers and it was fun, it makes me feel good our house is at least big enough for that! It was a good day... Kinda bummed they didn't hand out treats in sacrament meeting but the chocolate covered strawberries in Relief Society made up for it!
