Random Pictures

Madie has discovered a new hiding spot. Unfortunately, it isn't the safest place for her. She was so proud of herself the first time she managed to get in there and I thought it was hilarious so I laughed. Now we are working on keeping her out! Where am I talking about? The dryer.

The girls made a maze out of the foam squares the other day and had a blast crawling through it over and over.

Do you like the row of oranges? I'm sure you can guess how they got there!

I was sitting at the table one afternoon and all of a sudden this is what I saw. I thought it was so cute to see her little hands peeking above the counter top to put the oranges in a row. She kept putting them up and taking them down, over & over & over...for probably 10 or 15 minutes!

Madie has developed a new habit...licking her plate. Here she is actually licking bbq sauce off of an uncooked corn tortilla. She loves to eat the tortillas and it grosses me out! Every time I get the bag of them out to make tacos or tostadas she asks for one. 

This time it was ice cream.

This is my new favorite picture. This morning as I was sweeping the floor, I hear Madie laughing hysterically and saying "pocket" over and over again. I told her to come here and this is what she looked like.

She thought she had discovered a pocket in her jammies! At least now I know one possible explanation for the picture of me around her age with my hand down my pants.


Zach is almost done for the semester. Which is exciting but at the same time means he doesn't get much sleep (he went to bed at 3 this morning) and I don't see him much. The street fair I did on Saturday went ok. I sold enough to break even and even make a little...but totally not worth it! I'm not sure if the baby shower for Saturday is still on since my friend had her baby last Monday. I'm still waiting to hear from her as to what she wants to do. And I'm hoping to get the street fair leftovers up on my site in the next few days...so if you're in the market for some cute red, white & blue hair accessories for cheap I'll be selling them soon!

Edited to add: I got the hair accessories up in my shop. Here's the link:http://bowutifulbows.blogspot.com/search/label/specials
Everything is either $2.50 or $1.00!

Busy, busy, busy

I realize that I haven't posted anything about Easter. I tried to the other day but while in the midst of uploading about a zillion photos my computer froze. I'm still mad about it so I haven't gone back to deal with that yet. Now on to what this post is about...being busy!

I haven't been super busy lately, but the next few weeks are going to fly by because I have so much on my to-do list. This Saturday is women's conference from 11-2. I'm definitely going for part of it because Kristi & Jenny are in the play. I might leave after the play so that Zach has more time to work on homework, because his final review is the week of the 26th. So he will be spending much of the next week or so working on homework. The Saturday after this coming one I signed up to do a street fair with Kristi. It is a fundraiser that my aunt Wendi is helping run for her boys' school. That means my free time next week is dedicated to the making of hair accessories. I've never done anything like this before and I'm kind of excited about it. I also have a friend who is having a baby shower that day. Since they are at the same time I won't be able to make it to the shower but I would still like to drop by a gift at some point in the day for her. The next Saturday is the baby shower that I'm throwing for a different friend of mine. So the days preceding that will be spent making desserts and decorations. And I'll probably have a little party for Madison's birthday in May.

But to start off the craziness that will be my life for the next little while, Zach & I got invited to a fancy schmancy party tomorrow. The School of Bio Engineering is having their "Celebration of Excellence" at some hotel in Tempe and we are going to the dinner and soirée. Zach told me about this last Friday and when he got home I found out that cocktail attire is required. Yeah...I don't own any cocktail attire. But luckily I know people who do! I borrowed a dress from Zach's sister, my sister & my aunt before finding something that would work. I'll try to remember to get a picture of us all dressed up.

And for your viewing pleasure...I'll leave you with a picture of Madie cleaning the pool yesterday.
