Cirque Du Soliel Alegria

I was lucky to attend a recent showing of Cirque Du Soliel Alegria and absolutely loved it. I showed the girls what I went to see and they were so into it, the insist on going next time they come back to this area! They make me play this video a couple of times a day. It's one of the best ones I found on Youtube that have the main theme song on it! Love the music!

Barbie and The Three Musketeers Dolls

I don't know about anyone else but I have had a heck of a time finding the Barbie and The Three Musketeers Dolls at the price I'm willing to pay. I checked local stores like Walmart and Kmart and they have the dolls for about $26. However, if you look at most retailers websites compared to the stores, the websites offer them cheaper. Sometimes you can get free shipping so it works thats if they actually have them in stock. From what I have seen most sites are sold out and those that aren't have higher prices.

I discovered that you can buy online direct from Matel the company that makes Barbies. There is a promo going on at least it is today that you can get an additional 20% off and free shipping on orders over $50. They have all 4 of the musketeer dolls in stock and you can get them for $18.39 each with the sale price. They also have the Prince that you can get for $10.39. We all know how hard it is to find Boy Barbies and a lot of the time they are just as expensive as the Girl Barbies. I also noticed that they have another Prince doll that you can get for $7.99.

Such great deals I just had to share! Happy Holidays Everyone!

A Lion Called Christian...

So I was looking for a new book to read from the Doubleday Book Club and I came across this book A Lion Called Christian by Anthony Burke...The true story of the remarkable bond between two friends and a lion. I haven't read the book yet but when reading about the book I found that apparently there is a popular video about it on Youtube. I've never heard about it so I had to go check it out. This was the first video I watched about it and I have to admit I was boohooing like a baby. lol

New Food Network Whipped Cream Square Plates

Yeah, I got my beautiful square Food Network plates from my sista for my birthday! Jasmyn had to be the first to use them. She took a picture of her plating masterpiece...the photo is a little blurry. Looks like her Aunt Chef Mo has a little competition...perhaps another Chef in the family! lol. Jasmyn's masterpiece is a peanut butter sandwich and Christmas cookies!

Free Precious Places DVD by Fisher Price

I anticipate the new Fisher Price Precious Places Swan Palace is going to be many Christmas lists this year. Ever since we saw the first commercial, it's all I've heard about from my preschooler.

When I was shopping around for a good deal on this playset I discovered the Fisher Price was giving away a free DVD. Thought I would share....

Tap and Ballet...Laurels School of Dance

The girls just started Tap/Ballet classes for preschoolers at Laurel's School of Dance. They have gone twice and absolutely love it. This is them getting ready for class the other day. As soon as class is done they want to do it again! I love to see their faces light up when they come running out of class to tell us about what they did!

Scooby Doo's Daphne and Velma

Do these two remind you of anyone?

The girls decided to play Scooby Doo yesterday so Jasmyn puts a headband in her hair so she can be Daphne and Lilly puts on some play glasses and becomes Velma. I thought it was so cute. Lilly kept putting her glasses on the floor and saying "Jinkies, I cant see...where's my glasses" just like Velma in almost every episode of Scooby Doo.

Children's books...

My husband and I have always read to the kids before bed but recently started to read novels and bigger books like The Tale of Despereaux and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz rather than a bunch of smaller books like The Little Golden Books and Dr. Seuss. I discovered this awesome blog that I hope will give me some ideas on more books to purchase in the future to read to the girls before bed. Thought I would share it with you all.

My Little Chefs

The girls got these adorable apron's from Grammy for their birthday...custom made for each of them! Aren't they the cutest little things! Lilly had been wearing her Snow White costume for about 2 weeks prior to receiving this apron. When we got home, she insisted on putting on the apron and has been wearing it every day since last Sunday! It got dirty yesterday when we all made mint brownies so I got her out of it to wash it.

Jasmyn's Birthday

Yesterday was Jasmyn's birthday. We haven't had her party yet but we took her to Walmart to pick out her big birthday present. Lilly's birthday is in 2 weeks so we let her pick out her present too. Jasmyn got her Hannah Montana guitar that she has been talking about for months. She saw it when we went shopping a few a while back when my sister came home to visit. Lilly picked out a Snow White costume. Here is a pic of the girls posing with their gifts.

Lilly's 1st Pageant Scrapbook Page

These pics are about 4 years old. I know...I'm just now getting around to scrappin' them. This was her first baby pageant I put her in. She won in her division and won all the side awards which was really cool. Her big sister competed in the same pageant too but in a different age group and was 1st runner up. They both got crowns and trophies. It was such a fun day! (That's Aunt Jen holding Lilly in the top right corner of the page.)
