72 degrees (inside) ...

WE'RE HEADED TO THE BEACH...
WOW, LOOK AT THESE TWO...HOT MESS!


THE THINGS WE DO WITH OUR KIDS TO MAKE THEM EXTRA HAPPY!!

so i'll tell you... it just didn't feel right walking around my house in my bathing suit, hat, flip flops and 3D glasses, when its 30 degrees outside.
SOMETIMES, YOU JUST HAVE TO DO, WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO!!!

BUT...THIS IS WHEN I THOUGHT TO MYSELF, "NO ALICE, I DO A LOT MORE THEN JUST PLAY TENNIS & GO OUT TO EAT WITH MY GIRL FRIENDS!"

guess who's who?




Happy birthday
moo-moo!

i've been told coco and i had our own language when we were little. i called her moo-moo and she called me la-la. some family (AL) still calls us by these names.

when coco ask Loco, "how old is mommy?" she says, "twenty-five." in a borat-ish voice. i have been trying to program wiggles to say the same thing all day. he just won't do it.

TO THE BEST TWIN EVER. I LOVE YOU MOO-MOO!
XOXO, A

easy & fun


Add color to the grays of a winter landscape with a
sun catcher made of ice.
Materials
Ice cube tray
Food coloring
Round cake pan (we used a pot)
Ribbon
Plastic cup
Instructions
First, create colorful ice cubes by adding one to three drops of food coloring to the water in each section of the tray. Use only a few matching colors, as they will run together in the pan later. Freeze the cubes completely.
Fill a round cake pan about two-thirds full of water. To make the hole for the ribbon, set a plastic cup full of water in the pan. Place the pan in the freezer for an hour or so. Put the colored ice cubes in the pan, then let all the liquid freeze solid. Remove the plastic cup, flip the sun catcher out of the pan, then hang it outside with ribbon.
**wiggles & i took a suction cup hook and put it on the window outside in our laundry room. the kiddos just love looking at it.
*you can use shaped ice cubes for added fun.

cabin fever makeover

yep, alice grabbed the scissors today
& gave herself a makeover.

it's up to her jaw.
AMAZING WHAT THEY CAN DO IN 2 MINUTES.

bed time

tonight, alice was having a real problem with the sound of sleet against her windows.

ten minutes after putting her to bed, she yells down to me and says,
"mom, can you call mother nature and tell her to turn off the sleet?" "No," i replied.

"well, do you know her cell phone number?" she says back to me.
