Tea For Two

We ran across a fabulous deal at KB Toys Sunday afternoon. They were selling their display Dora table and chairs for $9.99 because kids had colored with crayons on the table. A little crayon never hurt anything so we said we'd take it! We got it home and of course had to break it in right away with Towns having a tea party with her "baby sister" (what she calls her baby). The funny part is that she doesn't understand why I can't sit in the chair opposite her. HELLO! I couldn't put my big toe in it!!! But I'm flattered that she thinks that I can...

The Doctor Is In

When things got quiet Friday afternoon I knew Bethany and Towns had to be up to something. They weren't getting into any trouble thank goodness (it's Towns I have to worry about, not Bethany), but they were making good use out of Towns' doctors kit. Bethany, do we need to add that to your Christmas list??!! Santa will be more than happy to bring you one! HA! :)

Make Up Artist

What? Mascara can't double for lip gloss?



Well, maybe if I hide under the desk no one will notice my lips are black....

I've decided to do things a little differently...instead of not posting recent pictures until I've caught myself up from way back when, I've opted for keeping things up to date and adding older pictures when I have time. Here's Towns getting into Bethany's make up. Too bad she didn't quite have the right use for the mascara...

March 5, 2005...My friends from home, their moms, and my college roommates all threw me a baby shower at Laura Popwell Well's house (my best friend from high school) in Andalusia. I still have the monogrammed cookies in the freezer from it which is a bit psycho, but I knew I'd wish I had them if I hadn't brought any home! Sister Shubert's daughter has a bakery in Andy and she makes to die for sugar cookies. So they got her to make them in different shapes with Towns' monogram on them in pink icing. SO CUTE! I swear they'll still be in the freezer 20 years from now because I'm beyond sentimental and can't part with anything!

Andy

February 25, 2005....Jonathan had an Enterprise trip to Destin for a three day meeting so he dropped me off in Andalusia on the way down. This was the last time at "home" for me before Towns was born. My mom sent me back to Decatur with 3 huge boxes of Anna Grace's old clothes for Towns....can you say JACKPOT!! Anna Grace was always the best dressed chick in Covington County! Now Towns is following right behind her...

Betty Crocker

January 22, 2005...Since Decatur is so ridiculously cold in the winter we have to get creative when finding things to do indoors for entertainment. I have a Christmas Cookies book that J's mom gave me, and Bethany decided to pick out a recipe to tackle. She chose some kind of made from scratch peanut butter cookies and wanted to do it all on her own. She did a fabulous job and here are some pictures to prove it. The only thing we had to work on was her licking her fingers while rolling out the cookie dough...not something a 9 year old would think about so it was totally understandable! They were good... Bethany's germs and all! :)

Libby Who?

Move over Libby Lu...there's a new girl in town! I just found these fun pictures of Bethany when we took her to Libby Lu for the first time (well, our first time, not hers). This was in September of 2004. It's hard to believe she ever looked that young! She got made up like a rockstar in true form and then we went to the Limited Too to put on a fashion show. I've always had a hard time saying no to her so when she asked ME to put my big self in those children's clothes I couldn't disappoint! Go ahead, you have my permission to laugh hysterically.....
