The girls and I had a rather mundane and typical weekend! We definitely needed some down time after the crazy busy work week I had and with the upcoming holidays! Somehow I managed to still not accomlish everything on my to-do list, but the girls and I had some quality time together and I can 1,000% say that I enjoyed every minute of our weekend!
Friday night we rented Mr. Peabody and Sherman. We popped popcorn and watched the movie on our beanbag chairs in the living room. The girls wanted to have another sleepover, but once I sent them up to Gretchen's room, Megan decided she wanted to sleep in my bed instead.
Adalyn has been learning to say "cheese" and smile for the camera! It's really cute watching her figure it out and trying to pose!
She is also loving her big sisters stroller! In fact, they've been fighting over this one, and DJ says that Adalyn needs to have a stroller under the tree. We actually have a plastic walker-style stroller, but Adalyn still prefers this one. She puts her own ballet baby in it, her blanket, and a sippy cup and happily pushes it around the house.
I managed to get two sets of Christmas pajamas made this wekend! Here's a sneak peek after the applique was applied, but before the stitches were added! I worked on pajamas while the girls played, and then again while Adalyn napped. And, I still have Gretchen's to finish!
Adalyn does not yet understand the gross factor of Bailey's bed, and while I was doing laundry she crawled over, started poking Bailey's nose and eyes, and irritated our Bailey so much that she tried to turn away from Miss Adalyn. However, Addy was persistent and got as close as she could and started saying "Bailey" while pointing to her eyes and nose. I snapped a few pictures to send to DJ who was in Houston for TU's last away football game, and then to send to my dog-loving step dad!
Megan played dress up and the girls made a huge mess of Gretchen's bedroom!
Adalyn ate pretend food and was my helper while I worked on a little project!
These two girls are really starting to form a sweet little friendship and I love watching them play and giggle together!
Before dinner, I decided to embroider a roll of toilet paper. I'm not 100% sure why this is a thing, but it totally makes for a wacky Christmas gift! I'm making these for everyone in my office at work! Last year, I gave napkins with funny little sayings, and I think everyone will appreciate the kitchiness of this gift!
After dinner, was bath night, and Addy just looked so cute bundled up in her hooded towel! We have a routine of bundling up the girls, holding them like a baby and then swaying back and forth and us saying, "Sweet Baby".
After baths, we had mani's and pedi's.
DJ ended up getting home Saturday evening and we went to church Sunday morning. We were running late (our usual) and I didn't have time to snap a picture of the girls wearing their fall smocked dresses. Megan decided that she didn't want to go to her Sunday school class, so we let her join us in big church. She did amazingly well!
After church, the girls and I had lunch at Sam's Club- ha- and we grocery shopped, went to Target and then we went home.

After cooking and cleaning, we ran the food over to my friend's house and Megan fell asleep in the car.
I was going to get back out to to the grocery store, because I had to take two peach pie's to Gretchen's class on Monday, but I called DJ and made him go on his way home since Megan was sleeping.
Once we got home, I made the girls grilled cheese sandwiches, gave them a fruit cup and cheetoh's and called dinner done. They had a picnic and watched the new Sofia the First episode.
After dinner, it was time for pajamas and I caught Adalyn playing with baby dolls again.
It surprises me that she'll play with her big sister's babies, because she will only play with her ballet baby, out of all the baby dolls that she has. I also think it's adorable, because Gretchen never really played with baby dolls. She prefers princesses and Barbies.
