hipstamatic monday

i love using the hipstamatic camera on my iphone. especially since my camera is broken, it gives the not so great photos some character. i have fun playing with it.
on monday the 20th i enjoyed some snuggle time with river as she napped on me. flower was at school so it was nice and quiet. :)

i love all the different affects.
when flower got home they went with me to two appointments. they were good at the first but not at my chiropractor appointment. i was a little annoyed that the front desk gal didn't offer some help. not that she is a child care provider but when the chiropractor puts me face down with electrodes on my back preventing me from moving for 15 minutes what do they expect me to do?! dotti at my old chiropractor would have offered help. instead, this girl just sat and complained about my unruly children to one of the massage therapists. and i could here them in the room. tacky.
what did my little angels do that was so offensive? they were screaming constantly in the room fighting over the chair. so the chiropractor was nice enough to bring in another one. but then they were fighting over their dumb princesses. and river screamed everytime flower took something away from her that she shouldn't be playing with, like the chiro's lotions. then river escaped after he came in to adjust me. again, i'm stuck in odd positions because i'm being adjusted. what am i supposed to do? plus the chiro didn't seem to mind. well went i went looking for her i discovered she had lifted the nob of their drinking water machine that's in the lobby, emptying the entire contents and flooding the floor. nice. and the girl was a rag about it. she obviously doesn't have kids. the chiro on the other hand has 4 children and he was laughing telling me it was no big deal as he cleaned it up. as i was trying to pay, the girls escaped again. i thought they were in the lobby by the door. how was i to know that hallway was a back entrance to all the patient rooms? they ran through the office yelling and once they made it to her she got in their face and told them to get with their mother and her voice was just slightly below yelling and i could tell she wanted to grab them. the way she talked to them was not ok. i was slightly annoyed when i left there. i chalked it up to her having a bad day and i'm not going to hold it against her because the chiro was cool. i'll give her another chance. however, river will not be going back with me anytime soon.
can you believe that just prior to all that craziness they were so sweetly making their princesses dance to the music in the van? little turds!

we went straight home instead of getting a jumba juice and they both fell asleep. big surprise.

sunday dress-ups

saturday when i went to bed i peaked in to check on the girls. i found river's diaper on the floor and her little naked body below her blanket. :)
sunday the 19th, after church, the girls played so well together. they made a horrendous mess but what's new?
river dumped all the clothes out of one of her drawers, took the drawer out of the dresser and pushed the drawer into the living room. they then proceeded to use the drawer as a boat and the umbrella was their oar.
pretty clever and they had so much fun with it.

they also played dress up most of the afternoon. this is a fairly common occurrence. however, this particular 'dress on the head as hair' was new and i loved it. that would be some beautiful hair!

river was so proud that her shoes matched her dress.
she cracks me up when she tries to be so dainty!

they were dancing and singing.
it was a nice dress-up kind of day.

pretty drinking glasses + lemonade

kris gave me these lovely drinking glasses for my birthday. i love them which is surprising because i don't usually like glass. however, i'm falling out of love with plastic for several reasons. these were just the glasses to give me the push and are now my favorite to use.
river's favorite is the one with the banana of course. it says always a-peel-ing. cute. flower's favorite is the prickly sweet pineapple one. mine is the pucker approved citrus grapefruit one. thank you so much kris!
flower came home from school one day with a recipe to make lemonade from a fresh lemon. we bought the lemons and the girls and i made it on saturday the 18th. they requested their favorite glasses. :)
first::prepare the lemons by softening them up.

second::juice the lemons.

third::divide the lemon juice among our three favorite glasses.
fourth::add sugar and stir
fifth::taste and completely pucker up because the water hasn't been added yet.
sixth::add water and stir some more before tasting again. mmmm.
yummy!
it was delicious and such a fun thing to do with the girls.
