Tutu's and Crafts

Claire's and Charlotte's Aunt Anna came over to play with us today and she brought presents!! It never really crossed my mind that little girls like to dress up. (derf) It's been a while since I was one so I guess I forgot or whatever. Anywho, she brought a fun ladybug tutu with wings and Claire loved it! Loved it so much it worked as a wonderful bribe for her to take a nap. Me: "You can wear your wings again when you wake up" Claire: (in a sobbing voice) "Ok Mommy, wear it when I wake up". Good times, I should have thought of this months ago!

Also, since we have been sick the last few days and have had a bit of TV overload, I decided that it was craft day! When I say craft I mean pulling out the paper cutter and making a paper chain. I don't really have other craft supplies so it was the best I could do. It was still only sort of successful. However, it did occupy the time it was intended to, so good times all around I guess. Here are some pictures to prove the slightly dull story...

Smiling cause Claire finally vacated her personal space bubble.

Having so much fun that hitting seemed like the best thing to do.

Crafts aren't really her thing.

Yep, holding a stapler and eating paper. I am such a good Mom.

This was about as into it as she got.

Charlotte didn't get a present, but that drool mark is from a Tic Tac Aunt Anna gave her.

I can't remember if she was trying to comfort her or if she was just about to cry because of her...

The tutu was totally a success!

Either I just caught her with her eyes closed or she was imagining herself as a real ladybug. Either way....

Before I did her hair, but that is the mirror she was gazing into for a whole 5 minutes after she put the tutu on. Seriously.
