<\/a><\/p>\nEl seems down with it. Happy girl, ready to roll!<\/p>\n
We’ve had some pretty good luck with thrift stores as we outfit the house with basic needs, like dressers, desks, etc. It’s a little risky though, because once Brinley laid her eyes on this flawless piece of advertising there was no leaving the store without it.\u00a0<\/p>\n But something did get left at the store. Jade Lola, Brinley’s cabbage patch doll, was not in the car at the next stop. I was sure it was a lost cause, but we hauled back to the thrift store to see if we could find it. We searched high and low, with no sign of it anywhere, and\u00a0we sadly\u00a0headed for the exit doors. Meanwhile Brinley dropped to her knees, used some mustard seed faith and prayed that she would find her doll. Not 10 seconds later this distraught mother was reunited with her child. Whew…the faith of a child is amazing!<\/p>\n Have we mentioned that Rowan likes zebra print?<\/p>\n Elea-soak loves baths. Just another day in paradise, with the spring garden in full swing!<\/p>\n Time to make dinner. Thanks for helping Rowan! It’s kind of a bummer that she is tall enough to grab things off the counter.<\/p>\n Desert was tasty though. All 2 dozen were snarfed in\u00a0less than\u00a05 minutes, because they are Ryan’s favorite and he has no idea how to savor them.<\/p>\n Aunt Jenna has been supplying us with a gravy train of free Chick-Fil-A coupons…the kids love stopping in after a day of shopping to let loose.<\/p>\n Rowan\u00a0isn’t quite big enough for the playground, but that didn’t stop Drew from making sure she had the time of her life. He was sweaty from lifting her through the playland several times! Way to go Scoob!<\/p>\n Drew, Brinley and Rowan had chicken strips. Eleanor had two servings of fist, biggie sized!<\/p>\n All I wanted to do was take a nice stroll around the neighborhood. I don’t know what other plans Rowan had, but clearly I had ruined her day.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Tantrums may lack maturity, but they burn a lot of calories!<\/p>\n While Rowan snoozed in the hallway I was able to finish a quick sewing project. When I tried it on my model she laughed and cooed. What girl doesn’t like new clothes?<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
