April Photos

I know St. Patricks is way over, but I took a picture of my Pot 'O Gold before I put it away. I was really excited about it. I got a pot at Hobby Lobby and spray painted it black. I found some clearance decorative "rocks" for $1.50 at Wal-Mart and spray painted them gold. Weighted the pot with an exercise ball (at least it's being used!) and then filled in with the gold pieces. It looked like this:

So, Xavier's new thing is wrestling. "Thing" would be an understatement. The kid's obsessed.





Bella is a princess. These are her two favorite "princess skirts". She usually wears at least 2 skirts at a time. Ignore the laundry in the background. I was in the middle of folding.



Grandma came to visit. Bella is the spitting image of her grandma.



Dahlia is growing fast. I took this picture of her the other day and it looks so much like one I took of Bella around the same age.



Dolly is smiling up a storm, but I haven't had a lot of luck getting great shots of her smiling. My camera is very slow. Here's part of a smile:



Here's a cute pic of Bella from this morning. Earlier she was in her cowgirl hat and riding her pony but in this pic, she's just a princess:



We did a craft and made bead bunnies.



I didn't think ahead enough to either strip her down or put her in a big t-shirt, so we ended up with this:



And, just for fun, here's a little snapshot of some of the things we've played with today:



Mommy's cell phone, a wallet, bungee cords, a medicine syringe (new in package), and a dollar bill. Fun times.
