They Have Their Own Style

Spenser has been dressing herself for months now. She has her own little style, that I've shared again and again. I love to see the concoctions she comes up with. The above outfit was from earlier in the week. I love that she is wearing a handmade shirt and a handmade skirt (and a Strawberry Shortcake Band-Aid on her knee to match her skirt). And no outfit is complete without a frilly wand. I forget where we went that day, but the wand came with us.

Yesterday Sawyer decided he needed to wear two pairs of pajamas. During Sawyer's lunch (he fell asleep early yesterday and missed lunch), Spenser was painting. She was covered head to toe in paint. She needed a bath. After Sawyer's lunch, he needed a bath, too. And two pairs of pajamas. He cried and thrashed about until I realized what he wanted.

And this is Spenser's library outfit from yesterday. She wore this dress from two years ago, polka-dotted tights, cardi and hot pink cowboy boots.

One day this week I walked past her room to see her wearing this dress, on top of this dress, on top of this dress. I wish I had taken a photo. It was quite a look!

[Spenser was "bribed" with a rain-gwop (gumdrop) so that I could photograph her in the library get-up. She's getting a little camera shy lately.]

At least you can claim you have stylish kids!

Seriously, I think it is cute when they dress themselves. You never know what you will find them wearing.

I think it's great that they dress themselves. Mine would stay in their pajamas all day if I let them. :o)

Spenser is such a little cutie!

I love this!! My mom was so strict about what I wore as a kid that it makes me smile on the inside when I see kids developing their own sense of style. I just found mine a few years ago and there is nothing like outwardly expressing who you feel you are on the inside. Good work mom and you have some fabulously unique kiddos!

I love Spenser. I really do. She's got spunk, that one. Don't you wish you could just bottle that up?

And thanks for the soap, sweetie! I got it and have to sniff if every time I walk by... heaven. xo

She looks so cute in her library outfit. I think Spenser is going to be a very fashionable young lady someday! She already has such a fun sense of style :)

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
