Best Buddies

We have a very large "L" shaped couch.  It's like two long sofas put together.  The point I am trying to make it that there are lots of places available to sit. The other day Dimitri and Katina were watching Finding Nemo and they chose to sit leaning right next to each other.  It was precious!  I hope they always stay Best Buddies!

Homemade Bunny

For a friend's baby shower I made her baby girl a little stuffed bunny.  This was my first attempt at sewing a stuffed animal.  It turns out that it wasn't as easy as the directions made it seem.  Well,  next time I will know what to watch out for.

Dimitri Turns 4

Yay!

We got a cupcake for each of the kids instead of a huge cake.  This way Byron and I were not tempted to finish off the huge cake.

Dimitri's Birthday Present.   A combination gift from Abue and us.  I wrapped his present in the Wall Street Journal and taped a balloon from the top.

Katina and I decorated the apartment.

Happy Birthday!

Last Week's Holey Jeans==> This Week's Skirt

Last Monday the pants Dimitri wore to preschool had two huge holes in the knees.  I had been meaning to patch them but I realized that they were too short any way so there was no point to fix them.  I found a website online that taught me how to make his jeans in to a skirt for Katina.  Ta-Da!

Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa

Christmas Morning at Abue’s House

   

Christmas Lights!!!!!!!

The kids like to play a game in the car where they try to be the first one to spot Christmas lights.  When they see lights they usually yell at the top of their lungs CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!!!!!! 

Here are our Christmas Lights on our Balcony. We are the ones with the zigzag lights that look like Christmas Tree (2nd Floor).

Fashionista

The morning of this picture I asked Katina to pick out her clothes.  I was curious to see what she would grab.  Here you have it.  Stripes shirt with a polka dot heart. Striped legging.  A patriotic star skirt.  She has some serious style!  For now, I think I will see how long Katina will let me pick out her clothes.  So far she doesn’t mind too much even though she would love to wear a skirt every day if she could.

Too Sweet! 

Don’t be fooled Dimitri was probably just about to wrestle with Katina.  Don’t worry though… It’s a pretty fair fight (and I don’t mean that Dimitri is a wimp).
