calling all frugal friends!

I need help finding dresses for Mattie Leigh, Allie Grace, and two of my nieces...we need a 2T, 5, and 10. My hope is that there is a dress out there that will come close to matching for all four of them and work for both Easter and my brother's wedding in July. I know the wedding colors are close to lime and turquoise, so if the dresses have those colors in them, it'd be great. Otherwise, I'd like a white/cream dress that we can embellish with a sash or flowers in those colors. If any of you know where to look, please let me know.

How does she come up with this?

Last night we were visiting with Kevin's cousin, Kelli. Mattie Leigh and Isabella, her cousin that is also three, were playing together. I realized that they'd gotten really quiet and went to find them. I found them in the bathroom with the door closed. They'd put a whole roll of toilet paper in the toilet and then taken it back out, put powdered make-up in their hair, in the toilet, and on the floor, and when I caught them, they were playing with Germ-X. I took Mattie Leigh to the side and asked her who came up with the idea to do all that and she confessed that she had. Here are some pictures of what they looked like after they were caught.




Don't you love their expressions? Mattie Leigh was crying because she thought every adult in the house was about to spank them. The last picture are their footprints.

Apparently, Mattie Leigh still thought it was okay to play in the the toilet, because she definitely was at it again this morning. She now knows that it's not a good idea and if she chooses to do it again, she'll lose her TV shows for two weeks.
