Something about free dress

Makes kids crazy!!!
As most of you know, my girls go to a private school,
and therefore wear uniforms to school 99% of the time.
However, today they were having field day,
A crazy day outside having sno cones and playing on
jupiter jumps and such.
So they had free dress.
Let me tell you, the minute we walked in the building,
everyone was excited and anxious to start the day.

While waiting in the hall before class

They were all acting goofy


Carrying the little ones, and having so much fun!


these two sweet girls pictured here with E, are two of my
favorite kids (I have lots of faves!!!).
They are both in the same grades as my two girls
and they are so sweet, and the girls just love them.
Plus I love playdates with sibling pairs that are the
same age as my girls, it just works out well for all involved,
no body feels left out and they actually all 4 play very well together.
Oh, and check out the cute bandana pants I made for E to wear!!! So easy to make and so cute on!!! I think I'll list them in my etsy store.
How great would they be for the lake this summer!

Creating Quiet Time



This summer My mom, my 2 girls, my good friend Shelia, her two kids, and me are going on a long weekend trip to Dallas to take the girls to the American Girl Doll Bistro and do some other fun things. So I've been working on some ideas to make the trip fun for the kids and us. I've come up with some great outfits for all 3 girls (the 4th is a boy) and their dolls so they can be twinkies!!! So be on the look out for cute posts about those later.

However, while trying to come up with things for them to do in the 8 hours spent in the car round trip, I remembered a box that I have moved from my sewing room, to the office, back to the sewing room and then to the garage without using any of it's contents. I bought these supplies at least a year ago, if not more, and I haven't used any of them yet!!!




So I pulled it out and made these:


They are super cute, and do double duty.
They are oilcloth on one side, great for a portable place mat.
Just wipe clean and away you go.
Then The other side is this great fabric that works like a chalk board.
Just doodle away, then erase and repeat!
They all have a cute little ribbon tie, so they can roll up and tie for portability.
I love them so much, I think I'll go list some in my etsy store right now!!
If you want one, check it out at http://www.lizzyroseboutique.etsy.com/

Or come see us at the Rt 66 Blow out in Downtown Sapulpa on June 6th!


Now, I have to give credit where credit is due. My other good friend Georganne was asking me about this fabric and reminded me of this project last week. Oh and she is also promising to be a guest blogger on here, she makes the most to die for hairbows, and sells them way too cheap, so if you need to outfit your princess in bows, she is the go to girl!

Happy Mothers Day

I hope you all had a great Mother's Day! On Friday we had a Mother's Day Breakfast in my oldest daughters Kindergarden class. It was fun and sweet. She made me a great little card that said mom and she colored it with great colors. Then they made us hand print paving stones which I love, I think we will paint it and put it in our flower bed! Oh and as you can see from the smile below, she lost her first tooth last week! A big day as she has been dying to loose a tooth for months now!
