Yup! Strawberry Shortcake! She's back and cute as ever. She was my favorite when I was a kid and they have revamped her look and has a new cartoon that the girls LOVE! Perfect for a Strawberry Shortcake themed birthday. The girls had a great time eating pizza, cake and snacks all day long. It was great to have friends and family there to help celebrate our little girls turning 3!!

I am filled with such emotion today. My babies are 3! I am overwhelmed with love for them. They complete my family in every way. They make me smile, laugh and lately cry because I love them so much and just can't get enough of them!
They are learning so much now. The are pretty much potty trained. Sophie took to it much faster than Emma. Emma just likes to get a potty treat so now she is doing pretty well. They know how to play on the computer by themselves. They love to dance! ( I am so excited to see if they will want to do dance!!) They play so well with Ethan. I have loved watching them play together lately. Such good friends. They still fight with each other but you can tell they love each other so much!
Some of my favorite things about Emma include tucking her in at night. She always wants me to do "burrito baby". When we do kisses I always say "Lets do hugs....but not TOO big", then she hugs me so tight. We do that with kisses too. She LOVES cars and trucks. She has been playing with them constantly lately. One of my favorite things to say to her lately is "No way Jose" then she says " OH YES Jose" It is soooo cute! She also sometimes comes up to me with her hair all staticy and says "My hair CRAZY" With her hands on her head in despair. It is so cute!
Sophie is my little princess. She loves to have her hair braided and sparkles on her toes. They got a little vanity for their birthday with a fake hair drier and she loves to pretend to dry her hair. She has gotten into my mascara more than once and come to me with black all over her eyes. She is so independent and such a fast learner. When I am acting funny she always says "Silly MOMMY"! So cute! She also says "Oh my GOODNESS! Don't make a mess Emma."
I am truly lucky to have these little blessings in my life!
While I ran to get a massage one day Ashley and Debbie came over to watch the girls for an hour for me. They took them on a walk and let them putt around on the putting green in our Condo complex. Looks like they had a great time and I was able to relax with a wonderful massage. BONUS!!
Yup that was my frustration! I am throwing my hands up! I just don't know what to do anymore. My girls are SOOOOOoooo picky. I have tried everything to get them to eat anything else than their usual foods. Oh and let me just tell you what they DO eat.....
That is IT!
Yup that is all they will eat. You should see me at Wal Mart. I always buy like 10 frozen mac and cheese meals! Emma is a little more willing to try things but Sophie takes one look at the new food and wont even give it a try. I feel like such a bad parent. Uhhhhhh. I wish they would at least try new things but they dont!I know it will pass but is is still SO frustrating!
So if any of you moms out there have any suggestions for how to get my kids to eat different things ..... im all ears!
Boy do I have some kids that can sleep! ANYWHERE! Ever sense they were little babies they have always been able to fall asleep where ever and whenever they want. Even thought most of the time that I WANT them to sleep it seems to be quite the struggle! Over the years all of my kids have found some interesting places to snuggle up. I searched through my pictures and was able to find almost 60 photos of where my kids have fallen asleep!! Here are just a few of my favorites....
When Emma fell asleep mid diaper change when she was a baby I had no IDEA how many more of these pictures there were going to be in her childhood!
They fall asleep on top of each other........
I LOVE this one because Sophie is awake just chilling on Emma's arm!
They fall asleep with toys.....
They fall asleep with food......
They fall asleep in chairs .....
and on the floor .....
and in some (what I think are VERY) uncomfortable positions.......
