Thing 1 and Thing 2

 I finally finished the girls Halloween costumes.

 Yup, Thing 1 and Thing 2.

I spiced it up a bit and made it girlie for my little princesses.

Of course I added a tutu.

These are the first bloomers I ever made. I actually got that material for a Christmas outfit (pics coming soon) but thought it would be perfect for this too!

Aunt Meme made the shirts for them. She has the tools for that kind of stuff and knows how to use them!

 Thing 2 is Sophie since she was born second but only by three minutes.

 So of course Al is Thing 1. She didn't mind wearing the bow.

 Sophie eventually took the bow off Aleah. The only picture I could get of Sk with the bow was when I asked her to hold it on her head for just a second. Haha!

After this picture below was taken Sk took the bow off Al. They are probably not going to wear them on Halloween.

I love these costumes. I am so proud that I made them. I will have lots more pics to post after Halloween. I am so excited about taking the girls trick or treating for the first time!

Candy Corn Tutu

 I just couldn't resist making another tutu for the girls since Hobby Lobby had tulle on sale.

 I love making tutus! There's nothing cuter than a baby girl in only her tutu.

  Well there is one thing cuter, two baby girls wearing only their tutus!

I love these colors because the look like candy corn which happens to be one of my favorite things about Halloween.

They even wore them to the park. This weather here has been ridiculous. It was actually pretty hot that day.

I love every thing about their sweet little outfits. They look so girlie with their little tutus and sweet little gold shoes!

 

Halloween Dresses

I am so so proud of these precious Halloween dresses I made for the girls!

I did one with a striped ribbon and one with a polka dot ribbon. I love them both!

 

The best part is I had a friend buy one from me for her little girl! I did hers with the dot ribbon!

 

The girls both seemed to really like them! They kept looking down at them and touching the face.

 

Even their teachers at CDO (childrens day out) liked them, which makes me very happy! 

 

 I am very proud of the way these dresses turned out!

The first dresses I made

I decided to put a letter on the first pillowcase dresses I made for Al And Sk. 

I know it's not perfect but it was my first try.

I think I did pretty darn good for my first try.

I think these dresses are just completely adorable!

Twinsies!

Josh picked out this polka dot fabric. He did such a good job.

I made little ruffle pants to go under the dresses!

 Look at this cute little button!

 How cute is this outfit?

My first Tutu

One of my very best friends, Heather, is getting ready for her precious baby boy's first birthday. She is doing a baby Mickey Mouse party for him since he loves Mickey Mouse. She printed out a couple of iron on Mickey's with a few of the kids names (Rush's bffs haha!), to iron on t-shirts.  So of course she gave me one for Al and Sk. So I decided to make a couple of tutus for the girls to wear with the shirts to make it look a little more girlie. I was telling Heather that's what I was going to do and she loved the idea and asked me to make her boyfriend's little girls one too. He has to precious little girls too. Heather is excited about all the cute pictures we are going to take of Rush with his pretty girlfriends. 

I never realized how easy making a tutu would be. 

Oh and it was so cheap for the tulle. 

You just can't get any cuter than that^.

 Don't be sad because I only have pictures of Sk in the tutu. You will get to see Al in my next post being my little model. I had them both outside in different outfits haha!

Halloween 2010: Al and Sk's 1st

I am getting really excited about Halloween. I have been wanting to have a little get together with a few friends like we did last year. I really love making Halloween treats. There's this awesome pumpkin shaped cake I want to make. I also want to make some candied apples. I have been looking at lots of things that I want to do for a small Halloween party. Anyway, here are a few pics of our get together last year...

This is just a regular rice krispy treats with candy corn on top.

Jack-o-lantern made from carrots, cucumbers, and broccoli with ranch dip.

Our cute little table. Some of our guests brought a nice treat too.

Josh and me. He was a farmer.

Al and Sk were his farm animals. I was a witch. Nothing to do with their costumes. Ha!

The cutest little lamb and bunny in the whole world.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I think I am going to make their costumes myself this year. I have an idea of what I want to do, but you will have to stayed tuned because I am not revealing it yet! Hehehe! I just love Halloween. It's such a fun holiday!

We Need to Get Out Of This House

Okay, so the girls and I sit at the house entirely too much. I want to find a Mommy's day out program to give me a break and to give them other kids their age to play with. I only have one friend that I hang out with that has a baby their age. I would also like to have a mommy and me class. I want to meet other parents. I want friends with kids their age. I want my girls to have friends. If we had a class or something fun like that it would give us reason to leave the house. When Josh is off work we try to go do fun things like the park or go for a walk. Most days we sit home and I turn the toddler music channel on the TV. They also watch a few programs on Sprout. I am starting to feel like it's too much TV though. I really have been trying to keep it on music mostly. Well hopefully I will nip this in the bud soon. I have been calling and emailing places about mommy's day out all day. Maybe I will find out more tomorrow. As for the mommy and me classes I have been looking at this Auburn mommies program. They meet up once or twice a week for a playgroup and then they have a mommy's night out once a month. Sounds interesting... Anyway, wish me luck on finding the right places for me and my little ones!!

 

Playing at the park a couple of weeks ago!
