Vacation and Re-purposing

Emrie, Molly and I went to Gilbert for a whole week just last week to see my sister Rochelle who was visiting also. Chad sadly couldn't come since he was so busy with school and work but we still had some fun. I got to stay with my in-laws for a couple days and Rochelle at my Grandma's house for some of the week which was really nice. Here's the kids. Emrie, Molly, Lincoln (rochelle's newest- he's a month younger than molly), and Elijah.
She is getting so big....so talkative. She also worked very hard the day before yesterday trying to roll over. She was so so persistant and would not lay still, just grunting trying to get over, and that night she finally did it, all on her own! She's also started trying to sit up wherever you put her, even in her little bathtub. She just wants to grow up fast I guess.


Superstition Mall does a Kids Club every Thursday at 10 for free with music and the kids get a free Merry-Go-Round ride. Here's Emrie with her clown nose on...she loved that thing.

Lots of swimming in Grandma's backyard. Kids eating their popsicles, Emrie kinda looks like one of the boys with her shirt off....So sad, that poor hair :D




The day I left we went to Chandler Aquatic Center and played. It was perfect temperature all around. So Fun!

Soooo....remember when I made some leggings for Emrie out of a long sleeve shirt a bought at old navy for $0.50? Well I just used the arms, so I had the whole body of the shirt to do something with. Well I found this post www.makeit-loveit/2010/05/re-purposing-shirts-to-skirt-with-tie.html and decided to go for it. It only took a couple hours :D



I also got out my little curling iron and curled Emries hair :D ha ha...Makes her look more like a girl for sure, what do you think?? Of course it's back straight by lunch no matter what product I put in it.





I'm itching to decide what else to make...since I still have 12 more shirts all different colors and stripes. If you have any suggestions let me know!
