Oh look! It's us!

It may not be my Grandpa's dollhouse, but for what it lacks in architectural complexity it makes up for in interior style. And, it comes with our very own twin family in the form of peg dolls.

I made this for my girls' for Christmas. I think they like it, they are still playing with it.

Breckyn dressed in her favorite color, pink of course. Kyra donning her favorite purple dress with flowers, and Ryder, our little tow-head.


The heads of household, complete with highlights and receeding hairlines.


Eek! Don't look. Mr. Kyle is in the bathtub!


The fam. Hangin' out in the kitchen.

The kid's are jumping on the bed again.

I bought the wooden "pre-cut" dollhouse from Grace Violet.

Need to blog...

something to get that picture of me off the top. (thanks babe.) But I don't really have anything amazing to say. So here is what I am thinking about today.

1) Happily, I've discovered the nearest one of these:

Unfortunately for my health, it isn't very far away.

2)I have been looking for this

ever since we moved here. It is in all the regular grocery stores in little Iowa but I had to search high and low here. I am so glad I finally found it, it is so yummy.


3) I've changed my mind about the girls' bedding. They will have time to be all teeny bopperish later. I'm going for something completely different now. How about the Shabby Chic line at Target?

At least until I change my mind again.


4) I'm about ready to watch E.T. everyday with Breckyn until she gets used to it. It this wise? Lately she barricades Ryder around her with blankets because he makes her feel safe.



5)Edward Scissorhands is a Christmas flick we always have to watch sometime in December. Is Breckyn too much of a scaredy cat for this? I'm pretty sure I already know that answer, but I wish it wasn't so.




6) Breckyn is obsessed with the "real" Grinch movie and keeps saying she has a baby Grinch in her tummy. ???




7) Does anyone Rollerblade anymore? I dusted mine off to go with Breckyn while she rode her Big Wheels. (Which by the way, I think Big Wheels are amazing.) So much fun!



8) I finally had to see what I would look like. Awesome.


9) Look at my sweet boys. I am so lucky!!!
