Sunday dress and hair and stuff

I found a bunch of blog sites that are all about cute little girl hair styles, so I decided to try this one out today. It was a good compromise for me wanting to do Elle's hair up all cute and her wanting it down since she has to have it up for school (lice is back in town).






































In other news, Chris and Elle are on the balcony here, but they are NOT eating stinky fish this time! Instead, they are drawing with charcoal!
Elle has been wanting some charcoal, so Chris bought her some yesterday at the art store and they tried it out today.












And Elle's friend gave her a fairy house kit for her birthday and she finally had some time to put it together the other day. It came with the fairy statue, the green stuff and flowers. The kit suggested that we go out in nature and find things to add to it, which we did.
The flag was Elle's idea too.
She used hot glue to put it together, and by the time she glued one side of the roof, the first side was dry. This turned out to be a good thing, though, because she can lift one side of the roof up and peek at all the fairies who have moved in.

I have to do this last part because of Hannah
She tagged me.
The rules of the tag are as follows:
1. Link the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write 6 random things about yourself.
4. Tag 6 people at the end of your post and link to them. (I refuse to do this party, sorry. You can consider yourself tagged if you really want to :)
5. Let the person know you tagged them on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know when you've posted.

1. I get hiccups when I eat white bread
2. I have three kidneys
3. Colors and Numbers have gender. I'm consistent about it too. (3 is a girl, and green is a boy, by the way)
4. I love peppermint ice cream, especially if it has chunks
5. Five is my favorite number
6. I have been to Germany. Once.

4 of 4

I was reading a friend's blog and I thought I'd play along too.
This is my fourth picture in my fourth file in Picasa. (If you don't use Picasa, you should really start. It's free!)
This picture was taken last year when we were taking pictures for our annual on-the-beach-Christmas photo.
As you can see, it was pretty cold that day in December. Elle has her coat on and everything ;)
What's your 4 of 4?

Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday to a great gal!








































And and awesome boy!

Good Food Friday Fairy Cake

Here's how the fairy cake turned out

It's Somebody's Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday, Sweet Girl!


(I'm working on The Cake now and I'll post it later for Good Food Friday!)

I love the beach!

We decided to take advantage of yesterday's "unassigned school day" to go with some friends to the beach.
It was a perfect day!
The weather was unbelievably hot
and the water was feet numbing cold,
which was good because it was so hot ;)

Elle decided to make a sand angel.

We even saw several dolphins!
It was a great day!
I can't wait until we get to skip school again!
