Doll Dress Up

Image
By

Last week I imposed a "NO-TV-AND-COMPUTERS-WEEK!"  I got severly frustrated with the tv and the computer being on all the time.  It was as though my children had forgotten how to play with each other!  One day, Eliza and Kate were found in their room dressing up their dolls.  They started out adjusting and altering their own clothing to make it fit their dolls and taking pictures of them.  When I realized what they were doing, I suggested they use some of my fabric scraps.  Instantly, there were tons and tons of outfits for Kit and Nikki.  I told them I'd make them some clothing for their dolls, but it would be modest clothing.  They were both so excited about it.  I'm just glad I have another idea of a Christmas present for the girls that won't cost me any extra money because I can use my fabric scraps!  Yay!

I really like their dolls! Where did you get them? I like them because they aren't BARBIES and it appears they have hair you can comb (my daughters would DIE).

My girls love doing that too! I made a really cute, simple skirt for their dolls that matched skirts that I made for them. Thank goodness for scraps. I keep everything!

I love the blue ensemble! Can I order one in my size? :) I too have imposed strict rules on the computer/TV this summer. I get tired of them being on all the time, so good job Mom for instituting it and sticking to it. :)

Loved the fashion show!
Looks like the girls had fun even without the computer or tv. I need to be better about that.
As for the Harry Potter Lego game - suffice it to say he has played it non-stop when allowed to play! It was all he talked about for months before his birthday and I don't think I've had any of my kids as excited at their birthday presents as Tanis was.

Pink Day

By
Today I was sifting through all the clothing and pulling out clothes that were stained and torn, as well as clothing the children had outgrown. There was a huge pile of clothing to sort through, and an ever growing pile of clothes to donate.  At one point, I pulled out a pink t-shirt and asked, "Whose is this?" Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

My Two Teenagers

By
As personalities come, these two girls are like night and day. Both are silly at times, and both can be serious at times. And yet, that rarely happens at the same time! We have entered the world of teenagers, and it is quite the dramatic world! My oldest daughter is dealing with all the drama that teenagers bring: ostracism, judging, and feeling friendless. My younger teenager is just full of fun dramatics: silly faces and expressions, acting wonky and crazy, and saying that "everyone is my friend, even their mom and dad!" At any rate, I couldn't be more in love with these two. They fight over their littlest sister ("I get to hold her!"  "You've been hogging her all day!"), fight over who spends more time in the shower ("I do NOT spend an hour in the shower!"), and fight over who gets my MacBook ("She always gets to do her school on your computer!"  "But, all my stuff is on there!").  My world would be quite dramatical...
