Goings on . . .

We have been busy since Emily's birthday party!  Here is what we have been up to.  Mrs. Reynolds found out Emily got an AG doll for her birthday and let her bring it to class one day.  She was so excited:

On the Sunday after Emily's party, I went to a sewing class to make this purse.  It turned out so good that this is my favorite project that I've ever worked on:

 

I also found a free wallet pattern on line and made this wallet to match my purse.  I was super excited about how it turned out as well.  I put in a zipper and it has 6 slots for credit cards and a place for cash:

 

 

 Monday was a holiday so the girls enjoyed an extra day at home.  Emily worked on 2 craft projects that she got for her birthday.  Art that you can put on your windows and this music box:

  

 Then the that Friday, we had a bad weather scare so they cancelled school . . . even though no bad weather ever came our way : )  So the girls entertained themselves by lining up all their animals to watch a movie.  Each animal has a coin or ticket to get in to see the movie:

 Emily also decided to dress up in the hat and tutu she got from Grandma for Christmas:

 

 On Saturday evening we went to Tara's 40th birthday party!  It was great to see her parents and brother.

 The girls also enjoyed putting matching PJs on their dolls and animals:

 

  

We also bought Valentine cards so Abigail took her extras and gave each of her animals a Valentine card:

 

 Friday night Emily's school had a chili and Bingo night.  The girls ate hot dogs and we also ate chili:

 

 Emily played Bingo to the bitter end in the hopes that she would win one of the prizes.  She didn't win but learned it was sometimes ok just to play the game.  She did get excited when they announced that anyone that didn't get a prize that night could go to the front to get a jump rope . . . so she didn't go home empty handed:
