Catch up

It seems like life has been moving slow
even though I have a long list of activities to document.

1. I finally made some time to craft.
A few new purses for the girls were first in line
and since then I've been getting a lot of little things done.
Hopefully the motivation and energy continue
because my list of projects never gets any shorter.Vanessa accompanied me to the craft store one evening.
We were looking over the fabric when
V caught sight of this green fabric
and asked to hold it.
Once she had it, she wouldn't let it go.
She kept hugging it and staring at it.
I finally decided I could spend an extra dollar for her
and she wouldn't even lend the fabric to the cashier
for fear that she would lose her beloved.
Now she can enjoy the fabric as a purse--
which she takes everywhere with her.2. Savannah is potty-trained.
Hallelujah!
It took a little while for me to decide to teach Savvy
but by the 4th day, she was trained.
No accidents here-- ever.
Savvy is a big girl!3. Savvy is still sporting her Halloween costume daily.
The tulle on the bottom is about 8 inches shorter,
but she still loves it.
It goes best with her Princess slippers,
which we purchased after a never-ending battle over wearing socks.
My Arizona girls just don't wear socks--
but their feet are always cold here in Utah.
4. Vanessa is just growing up too fast.
Her hair is getting longer but is still pretty thin,
so an experiment with the hair dryer and round brush
led to some big wild hair.
She only has about 9 words to her vocabulary despite being 19 months old.
Momma, dadda, sister, grandpa, grandma, apple, uh-oh, me and thank you.
All of those have developed just recently.
She sure can communicate, though,
and gets her point across quite easily.
She's started throwing terrible two tantrums which is really fun.
She thinks she should do anything her sister does
and most of the time she's successful.
She's such a happy kid to hang around.5. The girls have a love-hate relationship.
They love playing together
especially when Savvy tells Vanessa to be a dog,
and then Vanessa crawls around the house panting
with her tongue sticking out.
They love watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse together.
They can get into some major screaming matches
and Savannah taught Vanessa how to hit.
Oh, the joys of sisters!
