Girly Fun

 We had Alaina and Ruby overnight last weekend and I have a few pictures to share of our fun.

The last time they were over, they were telling me about a treat they like that's a little twist on chips and cheese.  I didn't have any salsa in the house then, so Alaina wrote a note and put it on the fridge saying "get salsa"

They were very happy to find that I had gotten salsa and were excited to make their snack on Friday night.

Here's Alaina with her snack.  You spread a little cream cheese on a paper plate, put salsa over it and then sprinkle cheese on top.  Melt it in the microwave and eat with tortilla chips.

And here is Ruby getting hers ready.

We had a fun evening.  The next day Bob had to work, which always makes them sad.  However, they are very good at entertaining themselves while I get a few things done around the house.

Both girls love Legos and Alaina is showing me the beginning of a house she was building.  Ruby played with the Legos too, but she was getting ready when Alaina did this.

After I got my laundry going and started something in the crock pot, we did our craft for the day.
We made tiny little snowmen from little clay pots and wooden balls.
The pots and balls were painted white, then the ball was hot glued onto the bottom of the pot.  You turn it over and use a pipe cleaner for twig arms.  Then the girls had fun painting on a face, buttons and a scarf.  Two tiny pom poms and a wire made into earmuffs finished them off.

Here they are with their little snowmen.  Hopefully they are the last snowmen for the year!

And here's a closeup of their work.  I thought they did a great job picking colors and painting them!

After this we packed up to go home.  We picked up lunch and stopped by my Dad to eat it.  He and Ann are always happy to see the girls and the girls always share their fries with them.  It's so sweet!
