So we have been super busy lately getting ready for someone's FOURTH birthday and hence not much blog activity. My apologies! Also, there is always a lot going on in Dallas in the spring and fall because that is when it is tolerable to be outdoors. So we've been busy bees!
Or busy butterflies. This is the angel after a birthday party which featured face painting (so guess who wants it at their birthday party?)
These two have been so precious together lately. When we are walking anywhere, Bobo will NOT hold my hand. But if he doesn't, he'll run off. Luckily, he will hold Gigi's hand (only Gigi) and walk wherever she leads him. Gigi has been super sleepy (and grouchy) in the mornings lately but if I bring Bobo in to wake her up she rolls over and with eyes still closed, opens her arms up wide and he snuggles in there to give her a hug. It is seriously the cutest thing ever.
My poor sick baby :( Luckily it was a quick virus with no throwing up. And we spent most of the day snuggling and watching movies. Yea!
I had to take a picture of this cute outfit. I wish I had a rainbow shirt and pants!
Gigi requested a Barbie party for her fourth birthday. I wasn't too pumped about that theme, but a friend suggested that they'd seen some cute "vintage Barbie" stuff. After a little searching, I found a few pictures on the internet but I was kind of disappointed I didn't find a lot of Barbie-themed parties on party planning websites. Fear not world, I will do a detailed post of our Barbie party!
I always want G to have a cute birthday outfit so I made her this shirt using the same principles as in this post. But this time I did sew a zig-zag stitch around the silhouette which took for-ev-er.
These are terrible pictures but my friend Erin of Between the Sheets made the cutest invitations for the party.

I made Bobo these pants using this tutorial. They're so cute on him.
I made this spaghetti casserole that I've seen about 10,000 times on Pinterest. It was good, but next time I'd use about half the package of spaghetti instead of the whole package.
Last summer was so hot some of our azaleas died. There was also an incident with weed killer which we now know kills a lot more than weeds. It will kill your beautiful, 18-inch tall begonias that you'd been watering twice a day to keep them alive in the record-breaking heat. And azaleas. Luckily a few survived. Don't believe the label on that weed killer when it says it's safe for plants!
So pretty!
Gigi and Bobo have invented (well they think they invented it) a game they call "chase." It involves starting at the pantry and running to the washing machine and laughing hysterically. It's super fun.
It's really cute though and doesn't involve messing up the playroom so I'm fine with this, until someone gets hurt.
Since Bobo cannot possibly outrun Gigi he cheats and turns around before he reaches his destination.
Hope you've been having a great March!
