Small Successes-February 4th

FaithButton
Celebrating the little things in life that add up.

1. I survived the stomach bug I had on Friday night (it was REALLY bad), and no one else in the house was affected.

2. I got the girls their Easter dresses earlier this week. Children's Place came out with their Easter dresses this week and I couldn't resist going to the store to check them out. Ellie and I had a difference of opinion about which dresses we should buy, but in the end she won because her second choice dress looked stunning on her. The dresses were 25% off and I was able to use my 15% off coupon, too. How sweet is that? The best thing about having their dresses already is that I won't have to spend hours fretting about how I should dress them. (And yes, I really do fritter away loads of time picking out clothes for my real live dolls. I used to be MUCH worse a few years ago.) Oh, and Madeline gets to wear these fabulous shoes with the dress. (Heck, while I'm at it, I might as well show you the adorable hair clip and sweater I got to complete the outfits.)

3. I'm caught up on the laundry! YAY!

4. Elisabeth can now spell her name using her Leap Frog magnets, and she's taking a strong interest in spelling short words. Who knows, maybe I'll be helping her to read sometime in the near future.
