Almost two weeks ago I did a new parting pattern on AJ's braids and Love it! They have held up SUPER good and I didn't even use my typical products! So after swimming tomorrow night she'll be getting a new style but here is a pic of the horizontal braids that then were braided into two big cornrows!
We have been pretty busy around here! A couple of weekends ago, Meena came and helped us make a chalkboard wall in our kitchen! Supergirl helped. The kids have had a chance to draw all over it now and just love it! Next step is to get some chalk holders!
Aunt Robyn was in town on her way to move to Texas so we got to spend some time with her. Since we only see her about once a year we thought we should grab some pics of her and the kiddos at one of my favorite pic places!
We spent some time at the park and had some fun with chalk! We figured since it was nice out and typically it is cold that we should enjoy the nice weather before the snow covers our ground!
Saw this on PINTREST and since both kids are being superhero's knew that we HAD to do this! I haven't edited the pics yet but they are still SUPER cute!
One of the other Adoptive moms arranged for a big photoshoot of the adoptive kids in town at the orchard so we headed over there and actually got a few good pics of the kids together. AJ and JT never seem to be on the same page when we are taking pics but that day they were!
Addy had found some lady bugs and loved holding them and watching them walk on her arms...
Until about 5 minutes later when I said, "hey look at your shoulder" and she saw one, freaked out, and wisped it off her shoulder (look about halfway down her arm and you can see the orange blurr).
She climbed the hay bails and looked just super sweet!
Here is one of the group shots!
One of my favorites, the cutest little leggys in the world!
And the girls holding hands and skipping off into the sunset (well actually the pumpkin patch!)!
JT enjoyed the hayride the most. He LoveS tractors!
Figured since I had the camera out that I should have my sister take a pic of me and the kids. I never seem to remember to do that and I need more family pics!
JT has this super soft airplane blanket that he loves. My friend Amanda got it from TJ Max so of course when he finally attached to it they didnt have anymore and the brand was nowhere to be found on the internet...until now! An ad popped up when I was online and it looked a lot like his blankey so I clicked on it.... a big fluffy Comforter!!! Seriously! So I HAD to order it! His room is airplanes and knew it would be perfect for when we got a big boy bed for him. The reviews said that the colors bled when washed so I washed it right away with a color grabber and it did great! Before washing it I pulled it out of the package and there was squeals of pure delight, hugging, snuggling, wrapping himself in what appeared to be a giant replica of his precious blankey! He LOVES it! And being the slightly OCD person I am, I wanted to save it for his big boy bed. Well that seemed a bit mean so I ordered a matching 5ft blanket so that he can have the blanket now and the comforter later! Here he is reveling in his amazing comforter!
All week Addy kept asking when we were going to do face paint! I had gotten some halloween make up for Halloween and had told her maybe we could do a trial run of her super girl face painting. So tonight we painted their faces. Ty's is a little askew since he wont sit nice for very long.
And then we let them paint our faces! Addy did Robyns and JT did mine! Both kids had a GREAT time!
And so tonight, Miss Robyn will start her long drive to Texas to start her next adventure!
Made a super cute card using the kids handprints for Robyn...
