Oh the sun is starting to make regular appearances around here and it is so lovely. The rain has made everything very green (even if the gloom has also made it very late to leaf and flower).
I’m so glad we did this nice neighbor fence on this side. Tuesday loves to chat with Tracy and spy on her garden, I don’t think Tracy minds too much. I set about picking every weed in the yard this weekend; call me crazy but I love it! It is the most satisfying thing to me. Tuesday loves it too, the only downside is if we walk to the car and she sees a weed in those ten steps she screams, “WEED” and has to pick it right then. I hope I’m not setting her up for gardening OCD in the future.
My dad brought his dog, Buddy, over for a walk. Tuesday happiness = through the roof. When my dad calls she always asks to speak to buddy. hahaha
Taking a break to stuff treasures into her pockets.
Oh no! Brent and Kat aren’t home? (my brother lives a few blocks from me). Well, carry on…
I really could get used to this weather.

Our favorite twins turned two this week and we celebrated in style. I wanted to do something fun for their presents and decided to go with matching (well coordinating) tee shirts. Carmen’s husband came up with the idea to flip flop the colors for each twin and they came out great.
The cow thing isn’t just totally random and out of the blue; my friend Karen (their mom) comes for a line of dairy farmers and works in the industry. I never showed the creations Carmen and I made when she was visiting, but I am loving heat transfer in the Silhouette. Even though my blade is nearly dead (I’ve never changed it—holding out for a sale!) it still cuts this stuff like butter. I got my material from Specialty Graphics vs. the Silhouette branded stuff. You can buy by the foot (really a 14×14 inch piece) and they have a lot more variety. This is the EasyWeed and I have a batch (um a pretty large batch) of HotMark coming (so if you have more tee shirt ideas let me know!). It is still a bit expensive so I always fill up all the space when I go to cut with other random shapes I think I might use. I put a bird in the margin and used it to spruce up a many times re-used gift bag:
I was hesitant to iron on the paper, but it worked like a dream. Tuesday unknowingly helped me with the tag. I took a sheet of watercolor paper she’d used and ran it through the Silhouette.
Love how it turned out (minus having to cut it three times, I really do need that new blade).
The party was so great, I love hanging out with my friends and Tuesday had a blast. The birthday girls were loving life.
Tuesday vs. Lachlan: mini bites vs. big bite. She hates to get food on her face, hands, clothes, etc. That doesn’t always stop her, she just starts freaking out and pointing to it. Biggest photo challenge of the day? A bounce house. Holy moly.
These two are so funny together. I really need to get it on video. I almost didn’t get my camera out as is; I don’t know why sometimes I just want to blend in, but I love these images. Birthday parties are the best. -

Tuesday:
*I found a project sort of like the one shown here on Pinterest. I finally took the plunge and went over there. It’s awesome, like visual bookmarking (way better than my totally unorganized bookmarks). I am in the process of moving all my starred things on google reader over to it. I was hesitant, but it is so ridiculously easy. If you have a board let me know! You can find me here, and if you need an invite I’m happy to send one to you.
p.s. Tuesday is into dressing herself and picking out her own outfits. You can’t see it but her underwear are on inside out as well and she has train socks on. Nice touches, don’t you think?
