Little Miss Independent...

Ella has been so great at being our little Miss Independent at eating, sleeping, entertaining herself, etc. So when she wanted a pudding, I figured it would turn out this way...and yet, I did'nt even care.


Big sister Sofia just watched as she smeared herself with the chocolatey goodness and did not want ANYTHING to do with the mess. Sofia is a the little princess stage and getting so messy was "beneath" her. ")

I don't think Ella minded the mess...After all, it got her a bath. And this girl LOVES the H2O.

Synchronized screaming

I wanted "the picture" for our bathroom. You know the one...The one you see in your head that you think you can (attempt) to take and make it look EXACTLY like you see it in your head without paying an arm and a leg for a professional to do it for you.
It took 2 different bath visits, and as I learned rather quickly. Giving the girls a bath is perhaps NOT the easiest time to try to take a picture. Ella loves the water and when Sofia is not terrorizing Ella with the bath shark, she is having her own fun on the opposite end of the tub. Here are some the "honorable mentions"
After a few botched attempts, I found a stroke of genius and scared the girls with one of my "unscary" boos and took the shot as the girls had thier synchronized screams...with smiles. This little beauty is now in a sepia tint, 11 x 14 print hanging in our bathroom... Ahh. The sweet feeling of success.

Easter

We are lucky enough to have family that makes sure we are never without company on holidays, etc. Today was no exception. Josh was good enough to get some pics (and post them super quick!) of the festivities. My Aunt Diane also got the girls the sweetest dresses for Easter. They had a quick little fashion show for everyone. My two cutie patooties!
