I Made It

Noel loves to wear dresses and skirts.  The problem is that the ones she has are seeming to get smaller.  I saw online an idea for making skirts out of old jeans.  I thought to myself, "I have some old jeans that the boys used up and grew out of.  I can do that for Noel!"  Then I made her a skirt in a very short (for me) amount of time.

It is a bit long, but she loves it!

Noel's New Friend

In the past Noel's friends have been girls a lot older than her.  For a long time Sarah was her best friend.  That was fun, but she is 3 times older than my sweet girl.  In the past year or so Adriana, our neighbor, has been the main girl she plays with.  Again, not a problem, but Adriana is 16.  That is quite a bit older than my 4 year old.  There is now a little girl that is watched by her grandma a few doors down.  Avery is in preschool just like Noel.  Noel loves going over there, and I love knowing that she is safe and having fun!  The boys have had a few friends that they can go play with for most of the time we have lived here.  Now, Noel has a friend, too!

Mr. Clean vs. EverydayLiving

Upon my Sean's request, I bought some Mr.Clean Magic Erasers about 6 months ago (he gets sucked into commercials the way my mom did).  I was very impressed with them and was sad when they got all used up.  The next time I went to the store I got some EverydayLiving Erase Its.  I forgot that I even had them while cleaning until yesterday when I happened to be taking out the trash and cleaning at about the same time (they were next to the trash bags under the sink).  I decided to get one out to assist with cleaning my difficult shower, as task that he Magic Eraser was more than happy to help out with.  I was greatly disappointed.  It didn't have any cleaning product in the thing like the Magic Eraser.  It was just a foamy thing that wasn't much better then a regular sponge.  Sometimes the generic version of a product is just as good, but I guess that is not true in this case.
