My Humble Pie is cinnamon flavored

I made cinnamon rolls today. Would you like one? These are from the bottom oven.

These are from the top. I think I'll need to make a few adjustments. But for now we'll be eating those black ones, minus the bottoms. All that sugar just melted and burned. Just when I think I'm perfect, I go and try to bake.

Here are my cute girls before church on Sunday. They love being seen through the eye of the camera! I made Leah's "sweater" from some fabric I found on a discount table at Hancock's a few weeks ago. That stuff sure was hard to work with! I made a size 5, so we won't know if she's got hands for another several months.


We're still fishing things out of Joseph's mouth. I found him with a wood shaving about 10 minutes ago. I'm still trying to figure that one out. On my way back from throwing that away, I found a game marker in his hand. And I think he just swallowed something else 2 minutes ago. Great. (I just turned around to check on him and found him in a cupboard. He'd found one of those mister fans, had gotten the 2 AA batteries out and was starting to eat them!) I wish he'd eat baby food so well!

Girls in Curls

Monday evening I was telling Leah about the times my mom would put sponge curlers in my hair after Saturday night baths so my hair would be curly for church. She was quite excited by the idea and wanted curlers in her hair right away! Unfortunately for her, we didn't have any.


I found some the next day at Family Dollar and that evening I rolled the girls' hair. Leah got pink curlers which were a pretty big size and Rebekah got blue ones which were fairly skinny. (The curlers came in variety packs.)


Here is what they looked like before bed.








And...WHOA!...here is what they looked like when the curlers came out!

Rebekah didn't need anything to keep her hair out of her face the whole day! All I could think when I saw her was "Brillo Pad." This morning, the sides of her hair were straight again, but the curls on top and down the middle back were still tight and bouncy. It was a curly mohawk! That is some crazy bed head.



And because Spring is so reluctant to come to our part of the world, this is what we were greeted with yesterday morning. It has all melted again, but you'll notice there are still no signs of life on the trees/shrubs. *sigh* I'll be wishing for some of this in August. That just proves that I'm never satisfied!

Big Girl Beds

We started shifting the beds in anticipation of the new baby. The boys' beds were stacked into bunk beds on Wednesday and today Leah got a Big Girl Bed = twin. She even got to pick out her own sheets and we've bought material for her first twin-sized blanket (we'll post a picture when it's done). She is very happy with her new set up. Giddy, actually.


And since Leah doesn't need the toddler bed anymore, it's Rebekah's turn. Is she staying in it? Not on your life. I expect we'll be bouncing between the crib and bed for a couple of weeks until she gets serious enough. She pretty much thinks it's a game right now. But you have to admit that she looks really cute in it. She's growing up so fast!
