Big Ben, meet The David

There were several things that really moved me when I visited Europe. I'm talking popular landmarks, sculptures etc... The first one was The David. When I saw the real David, not the one at Caesars Palace, but the real one, it was fascinating and beautiful. It effected me in a way which I wasn't expecting.

I remember being in the car on a family vacation and Jennifer turned to me and asked me if I could go anywhere in the world where would I go? I answered, England. She asked me why I would want to go to England of all places, and I told her I didn't know, but that that's where I would go and that I thought it would be beautiful. When I saw Big Ben it was amazing. It was very touching. To me, Big Ben is England's mascot. I couldn't believe that I was seeing it in person. I loved England as much as I thought I would, even more actually.

Some exciting news!

I went to Calico Corners with the girls today to try and find material for my piano bench that I'm painting and recovering. Well, I've had my eye on this fabric for a long time knowing that at $54.99 a yard our paths would never cross. Well...this is the exciting part, I decided to cover my piano bench with it! I only had to get 5/8 of a yard, which came to $42. But wait, there's more...
As the Calico Corners employee unrolled the fabric I saw something even more extraordinary and that was, the OTHER SIDE of the fabric!! I LOVED it! And am now going to use this side for the bench. The moral of the story is never say never, and don't give up on your dreams. ; )
While we were at the store everyone was so cute with the girls. They had bows in their hair, and they were being SO good sitting in their double stroller not fighting.

The woman who assisted me said hi to the girls and Caroline replied, "you can say hi to me but don't say hi to my pony (My Little Pony)."

As I was getting the girls out of the stroller and into the car, a woman was standing near where Caroline was setting and she said "hey lady get in your car." Caroline's a crotchety old lady and she's only three.

Elizabeth well, she was just fine...

Here you go mom...

This is the material that I'm leaning towards.
This is a picture of the JCPenney panel again, so you can compare.
Here's that stripe. It's the same tone as the top picture.

Look and let me know what you think.

Brushing Teeth

Sorry for all the videos, but, I just learned how to use this feature on our new camera and am really loving it.

Rob is really good at brushing Elizabeth's teeth (and Caroline's for that matter). By the time bedtime comes around I'm so tired that I can hardly stand the thought of the hassle. So... Rob is the designated teeth brusher. Let's hear it for the boy!!

New Pajamas

The other night Rob and I were walking the girls up the stairs to take them to bed. Rob and I looked at the girls pajamas and started to laugh. They looked pretty pathetic. Elizabeth's were thin and as you can see there's a hole in the knee. Caroline was wearing pajamas from when she was a year old.

On the bright side of things, we discovered that Caroline might have a future in "church sponsored" dramas, we told her to look sad, and she did it each time we wanted to get a picture, pretty impressive.

I went the other day to Kmart with Jennifer and got the girls brand new pajamas, Yay!

FYI... Caroline is doing much better in primary, she sits in her chair during singing time and doesn't wander the room. Elizabeth hasn't uttered a single complaint about nursery.
