sorry

I've been totally neglecting this blog. :(
I just now realized I never even put Easter pictures up...unfortunately I never got pics of the girls in their dresses because:
a. it was cold that day
b. Eva loathes wearing a dress so the next time I'll have a chance is on a Sunday...plus she REALLY hated her Easter dress (a gift from her birthday last year) because it's pink...gasp...a girl in pink, the horror.

Anyway, here are some pics from Easter morning
and our egg hunt at grandma and grandpa's house later that day.

Ellie showing off her little pony baby.
Eva's been talking about a puffle non-stop
Elle is still in her dress. This pic does not do it justice, a quick story about this dress:
I saw it at Target when Elle was still a baby, 
(maybe she was one I can't remember)
it was a 3T, I knew she would look gorgeous in it, 
I couldn't pass it up
plus it was on clearance...so I've had this dress hanging in her closet for two years.
which is SO unlike me.
I hate holding onto clothes.
Anyway, Elle loves dresses and never wants to take them off...Eva on the other hand rips
her dresses off the minute she steps foot into our house.
This is Elle sharing her egg hunt find.
Eva and I created this sweet American flag egg.
Suck it Martha, you can't touch our talent.
Ok, so we got the dying idea from Martha
BUT the flag idea was totally ours.

This was hilarious. She could not see that egg! We were playing hotter or colder.
It was totally funny to watch.
There's our Easter...and I have yet to take a decent picture of Eva's absence of teeth.
I'll get better, promise.
Until then, I've been busy with enSTYLEpedia, you can come visit me over there and see all my hard work.

sorry I haven't updated in a while.
no real excuse.
this is the end of our spring break and it has been so nice! sleeping in. cleaning. no school to worry about.
my parents took Eva for a few days, which was great. I realized that Elle gets the same amount of attention whether Eva is around or not...so next time I'm going to see if they'll take Elle for a few days so we can give Eva our undivided attention.  Jeremy and I just stare at Eva and wonder how she got so big?! She's reading a lot now and building her confidence at school. She's learning about money and saving. her front tooth is loose and I can't wait for it to fall out, she's going to be adorable!

Elle has been potty training for about a month now. She's doing great...I hate potty training and my mom pushed me into it- I'm SO glad she did. I like to just do it all, night time potty training along with regular...I never want to see a diaper again once I start...so that's where we are with that. Elle is also my girly-girl, she likes to change her clothes two or three times a day (she likes to change her underwear a ton too now) and she loves to be a "princess" and dress up. She likes to memorize just like Eva did at this age, she tries to memorize movies and shows she likes. I especially like it when she uses her movie quotes while she's talking, my favorite is when she says, "What the, what?" So cute.

Jeremy is still training for a half marathon, he's running like crazy. He did a 5k a couple weekends ago and that went well, he learned a lot from it...like don't stay up till 3am the night before. Rookie mistake.

And I'm enjoying doing my fashion blog (if you're not a follower, follow me...I'm working on getting giveaways but I can only get it if I have proof of all my readers!). It takes some effort but it's what I love to do, and it's really fun getting to know my readers. I'm also preparing for this spring and summer- since I was two sizes bigger last year I need to buy all new clothes when the weather gets nice!! Yay. I can't wait! We're also planning another trip out to see Jeremy's parents this summer and the girls can't wait! (neither can we!)

100 Days of School

does your school celebrate this? I had never heard of it before...I read about it on blogs a month or so back but I had no idea that they celebrate the 100th day of school, when did this come about?
anyway, Eva's 100th day was yesterday and they did all sorts of things counting to 100.
She said it was a lot of fun and I know she's so proud that she can count to 100.
Our first pic we thought we'd have her do a 1 then two zero's...
then we thought she could do 100 on both her hands at once...we were in a rush that morning...
 
yay 100 days of school down, a billion more to go...

it's only "fun" for a limited amount of time...
