Spa Day

As a special birthday treat for Abs, I set up a home spa for Anna and Abby to enjoy.  They LOVED it!

First, we started with the foot soak.  This went pretty well until the splashing started.



Then it was time for facials.  The girls both thought this was hysterical!

Soaking off the face mask.

I braided Abby's hair for the first time.  She loved it!

I put a little make up on her too.  Anna didn't want any, saying, "Make up is for Mommies!"  I think she's heard that a few times when she's been caught playing in her mom's make up!!

I straightened Anna's curlies.  She thought it was beautiful, but Amy prefers her curls.  I do too.  It fits her personality.

After the spa time was over, they watched a few episodes of Abby's new Hello Kitty movie. 

I simply love how close these girls are.  Heading in from the playground the other day, Abby put her arm around Anna and put her head on her shoulder.  Anna put her arm around Abby and said, "Best friends forever!"  I'm pretty sure the teachers' hearts melted a little bit.  I hope they always stay this close!

Looks like they really enjoyed the experience! They’ll probably be future spa ladies themselves! Minus the splashing, hopefully. Haha!

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS.  If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan.  The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google.  My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!!  (a combination of all 3 is great too!)  :)   Notice that it's not to get famous and it never wi

The Potty Man

Caleb LOVES to go potty! I have never heard a potty training story like this one....Caleb tells us when he needs to go, we take his diaper off, and he goes! Now, is it perfect? No, not at all! We aren't trying to potty train at at all, but we figure every time he goes is one less diaper we have to change! The only time we consistantly put him on the potty is when we give him a bath (he always pees in the tub, so we know he needs to go!) He almost always goes on the potty now instead of the tub though. When he's not "really" going potty, he's pretending to go potty! He's such a funny kid!

Lego Party: Favors

I'm a little slow in posting the Lego Party pictures, but I think I have a few excuses I could use.  At any rate, I wanted to share what I did for the party!  It will take a few posts, so stay with me.  I'll start with how I did the favors. These are the goody bags I made.  I just bought solid colored gift bags and matched scrapbook paper to each bag.  Then I punched circles and attached them with the 3D foam tape so that the circles were raised. I used the keychain (explained below) as a name tag on the outside. These are Duplo blocks.  I put a round magnet on the back and...voila!  A magnet!  (note:  hot glue doesn't work so well...I ended up reglueing them with my apoxy because the magnets fell off.) I made crayons using Lego man crayons.  Yes, I know this guy has lost half of his leg.  The others were already packaged and I didn't want to open one up just to get a picture.  I used a Lego mold  to make the crayons.  Caleb put small pieces of crayon in each m
