~ Meet my Princess's ~

The girls went and spent the afternoon at their Grandparents (in-laws) yesterday and from the looks of it had a whole lot of fun.

Here is Tabitha always striking a pose where ever she sees a camera. This is my performer...I call her my Artsy Fartsy Girl. She takes private singing lessons and enjoys it all so well. She is always involved in some sort of Musical, Play or Church Choir. She goes to competitions all the time and blows me away. As my hubby and I say, we have no idea where she got her voice from because it was definitely not us...
When she grows up she claims she will be the next Hannah Montana. I encourage her all the time because she is dreaming big but you just never know...
And then here is my Abigayle, trying to copy what her big Sis does...
She thinks her big Sis is the best thing since sliced bread. I just wish Tab would think that to. She claims that her little Sister is annoying.

Abby is my Sporto...she LOVES gym class at school and just loves playing sports.
This girl loves playing soccer, basketball, tries real hard to golf and the list goes on. She could live outside and ride her bike all day. She is also very good at Gymnastics.

It's so funny how you can litteraly have two children who do not have anything in common. Two different people with two different personalities. Here they look like they adore eachother BUT trust me living everyday life can be a struggle between them. There is alot of yelling...slamming doors and so on. But I am sure you moms out there understand what I mean. I am so not looking forward to their teen years...I think hubby is scared...LOL
Here, their Grandmother set up a tent in their over sized closet for the girls to play. Both of them always thought that was the coolest thing in the world, having a tent set up in the house. They both have spent many nights sleeping in it at their Grandparents and at home. That was one of the best gifts they ever received one year for Christmas.
We had one beautiful weekend here and hoping more to come. But sadly we did not get my front porch decorated because hubby was very busy working in Tabitha's room. Since we have been working on her room since Spring and over the Summer months it was put on hold, hubby jumped in full swing after work yesterday and all day till 4pm today because he had to leave for a supper meeting. So he told me if I was bored tomorrow I COULD paint the white trim. I guess I can...I mean he has been doing everything else. I just can't wait to get it all decorated back. And I also promised her I would paint her quilt rack and night stand...so I guess that is what I will be doing this week. ONCE her room is all put together I will make sure to snap pics of it. But I warn you all, her room is not prim...does not match with the rest of the decor of the house but it still looks wonderful. A room that I would of loved to have when I was young.

I also want to wish my baby sister, Shannon the best of luck for tomorrow. She is flying out from Montreal, Quebec and heading to France to teach for the next 9 months. She is going to be missed ALOT and this Christmas will feel extremely weird not having her here. Abigayle is having a hard time understanding that Aunt Shannon will not be able to just come and visit. Everyday she says "Mom, I miss Shannon" :( Poor thing...it will be a long 9 months for her!
I wish her the best...hopefully she will have the experience of a lifetime. Honestly I wish I could go over and visit her while she is there. But it is a bit expensive for a flight. But heih...you never know, maybe I will win the lottery...hehe
Good Luck Shannon...have fun and be SAFE! We love you and will miss you!

Until next time...
Sandy

What beautiful daughters you have so pretty! Sydney told her mother that "there's something wrong with her." LOL I'm glad I just had one daughter when I see those two go at it.
How lucky your sister is to be able to do this and yes, you never know!
Have a great week and I can't wait to see your daughter's bedroom.

Great phots of your girls! Now, you really don't want them to be alike, do you? LOL! Can you imagine the fighting then? It would be even worse! They would want the exact same things, all of the time! LOL!
Seriously, I think it is wonderful that they are different and unique.
And I wish your sis lots of luck in France. How exciting for her!
Have fun with your painting. Looking forward to seeing the finished room.
Have a great day!

Your daughters are so cute!! Don't older kids always think their younger siblings were annoying??? I'm sure my brother thought that all the time growing up. :)

What a great experience for your sister!! Hopefully the next 9 months will fly by for you and your family while she's gone.

What adorable girls you have, Sandy! Great photos, too...

I hope I can come up with a good apple recipe for you this Friday :) I'm thinking I might share something that's a great breakfast dish since everyone already has a favorite recipe for apple pie or apple crisp.

Have a great week!

Oh my two kids are so totally different and drive each other nuts which then in turn drives me nuts. LOL.
