Angel the fashion diva

Angel has always loved dressing up, but lately she has taken to dressing up her younger sister. Every single day, she picks out an outfit, complete with socks, shoes and a hat or a headband, for the baby. But one morning she went the extra mile and added another accessory, all by herself:


Her fashion sense is rubbing off on Grins as well...one morning I went looking for him since he had been alone - and QUIET - in the bathroom for a while, which usually means trouble. This is what I found:


My kids are seriously funny. Who needs TV?

Your Ideas, Please??

As you may know, the Mr. is nearing (a long-awaited) graduation from Medical School in just a few months! Since he's worked so hard and has handled everything so beautifully, I would love to do something special for him to celebrate. But since I am lacking in the creativity department, I would love any ideas any of you may have. Keep in mind we are on a very limited student budget (as in, the cheaper, the better) but I do want this to be special. I am working right now to save aside a little 'celebration money'. :)

Some ideas I've come up with:

~Dinner at Five Alls (he's wanted to eat there ever since I can remember but I've never heard anything about it....does anyone have experience/know details such as pricing, ambiance, etc?)

~A Party or Get-Together of Sorts (possibly medically themed with scalpels for knives, face prosciutto, brain jello, etc - I know the Mr. would enjoy it but is that too grotesque for guests?)

~A little vacation (since he'll be working at least 80 hours per week for the next 4 years of his life!)

....that's all I have come up with, which is why I'm asking for your clever thoughts and suggestions! :)

What I see when I get out of the shower each morning...


in case you can't find her, the baby is actually in her little swing, showered with gifts from her doting older siblings. at least she can still breathe...
