linda's playhouse

at least twice a week i pass an unspecting house on my way towards jazzercise. today, wendy and i decided to investigate what is known as...linda's playhouse. little did we know what awaited us inside was rooms filled with toys, art supplies, dress-up, train tables, kitchen sets and even a make-believe grocery store. the little girls absolutely loved it! i must say that i definitely felt like i got my $5 worth. it was so nice being in someone else's house while my child painted and played around. lacey found this one toy which had all these keys to it. she played with it for quite awhile, finding just the perfect key that fit each door. lily and her also perfomed for us in many of the different costumes found in the "playhouse." wendy and i had fun watching the girls dance around and perform their show for us. i'm thinking this might be a good rainy day place to visit in the future.

here comes the bride...

no, your eyes are not deceving you. yes, that's lela in a wedding dress. actually it's a flowergirl dress that we tried on yesterday for the correct size. come this september both of the girls will be in my cousin's wedding and yesterday we went and got fitted for their dresses. lacey size was pretty much dead on, but lela being tall and skinny things got a little more complicated, so that's when i decided we should try on some dresses. i actually think she had fun playing dressup.

here is what they will actually be wearing for the wedding:



and their shoes:
