Blue Ballerina

Our cute little ballerina in her new little BLUE BALLERINA outfit.  She looked like Cinderella!

After dance class, daddy walked her through the sprinklers which she did NOT like.

Tea party and consignment finds

I am selling a ton of Essie's old clothes and toys at Rhea Lana in Little Rock this week.  Yesterday I got to go shop before it opened to the public and I found some super cute things!  I got the most adorable Snow White and Tinkerbell costumes that are handmade, boutique items.  I paid 10 dollars each and did a little research and found them on Etsy for almost $50 each!  The tinkerbell one is a lil big so I'm hoping the priss will be Snow White for Halloween this year.  Check out these cute costumes http://www.etsy.com/shop/CarolinaCreationsToo! I also found a Sleeping Beauty dress from the Disney Store but forgot to take a pic of it.

I found cute dresses, a minky jacket, long sleeve tees, and even a twirly Christmas skirt!  I also found a Rapunzel shirt that Essie demanded to wear to bed last night and a Rapunzel backpack!

I got 22 items for only $130 and I've already sold over double that amount in Essie's clothes! Whooohooo!


This morning after breakfast Essie decided to have a tea party.  After tea, it must have been time for nap. 

Thank yous

I ordered some cute thank you cards from Mpix.com for Essie to use for her birthday.  I ordered them on linen paper so she could write on them.  We sat down the other evening and she drew on/wrote on 27 cards.  She was so diligent to get each one perfect and I loved how much thought she put in each one.  I love her little people she draws...

just for fun...our lil Snow White...

Great Garage Explosion...

We've been in our house for 7 months and our garage has barely been touched.  It was jam packed with boxes and just JUNK...pretty much had stuff piled celing high and you couldn't walk in there.  So we broke down and spent the entire weekend cleaning it out and we were finally able to pull the car into the garage! Whooohooo!  I also entered 200 items into our local consignment sale...that took almost 10 hours itself!

Afterwards we had to clean out the house since all that garage junk had to go somewhere! After 6 hours today I can say our house is finally back in order! Whoohooo!

Poor Essie, she had nothing to do all weekend but practice ballet and sing in the rain! :)

Even Princesses do chores...

We decided it was time for the Princess to start pulling her weight around the house.  She likes to help out but does NOT like to clean up her own messes!  I made her this cute chore chart.  I found the princess clip art online...I chose for her to brush teeth (it's a battle most days), pick up her toys, put laundry away, and help mommy as her chores.  She got to choose her reward for when she received all her stickers.  She chose to go to Playworld Pizza for a reward so we got to do it this weekend!  She was so excited and we were proud that she filled her whole chart up...now onto the next one!
