A Little Catch Up

I was just going through pictures from before our trip and found these: The day before we left there were a ton of Dragonflies flying around so the boys had to get the nets out. Pat was able to catch a few in the front yard, but noticed that they were flying close to the roof. So of course, he got on the house with the nets and caught a few very easily.
Xander with his net.
The boys with their bugs.
The one in Xander's net was eating something, so it just sat there and we were able to get a close up picture of it!!
When we were at Comic Con, Karri was able to pick up this cute pair of Fairy Wings from the Disney booth. (They are promoting the new Tinker Bell movie that comes out soon) They were giving away a different color everyday and we got these cute green ones for Mara. When we had her try them on, she had to strip down to wear them, she does this with all dress-ups!!

We also picked up some free temporary tattoos for the kids. Xander with his Pikachu tattoo.

Mara with her Wonder Woman tattoo. Xander's lasted until we went swimming on Saturday, and Mara's was perfect, but I washed it off during bath time on Monday. She has a cute little tan line from where it was!

Last week I decided to paint Mara's toe nails. It had been an hour or so since they were done and I was helping Xander take apart some Lego's. Then I see Mara taking a stool over to the sink and she is saying that she needed to wash her hands. I saw a drop on the stool and then I looked her over. This is what I found:

I totally thought it was blood for a minute!!! She tried to paint her own toes :) I just love that she has given herself an extra nail on her baby toe! Later on I found polish on her thighs, clothing and on the bottom of her other foot. Also it was all over the floor, good thing we were in the kitchen.

I don't know why I don't look as cute as Mara when I strip down and put my fairy wings on.
