I added some watery shimmery ric rac along the bottom edge. I love the sparkle!
It has an elastic back for a comfortable fit.
It needed a little something else - so I whipped up a pair of turquoise knit pants to match.
Happy Birthday, L!

little mermaid
One of my nieces happens to LOVE Little Mermaid. I put together this spring top for her.
I added some watery shimmery ric rac along the bottom edge. I love the sparkle!

swingset in a day
Here's our recipe for a swingset in a day...
Start with great plans... drawn up by one uncle and presented to a special four year old on his birthday (2-1/2 months ago)
Bring a ton of lumber, swingset braces, etc. etc. etc....
Put it all together over the course of a day and what do you have?
A ledge for "storefront" business, a balance beam, a climbing wall, a slide, two swings, a steering wheel, a ladder, and a spot for a firefighter's pole to be installed later.
best quote of the day... (from the neighbor)
"Are you guys Amish or something?"
It wasn't really a barn-raising, but we got it done in one day.

Thanks to the uncles and grandpa for their help!!

daffodils
I love daffodils. So bright and cheerful, so resilient to the obnoxious changing weather of an Illinois April. They grow in big bunches in fields across the Arboretum that we visit often. I think they make for the perfect photo shoot.
Except that I have to convince the two kids of that! This is pretty much the only shot of both of them together where she wasn't screaming and crying. It was getting close to naptime, but seriously - just one cute little smile for the camera, WITH your brother?
I'm pretty happy with how the single shots turned out, though.
She was (of course) watching Conner. When is he going to learn to stand BEHIND me when I have the camera?!
Of course, he's not exactly the one to remember the lens either. Here he is, looking up at my mom holding Abby who was screaming.
Ahhh... a smile! Yay!
Hope you had a gorgeous spring day like we did!!!!
