Red Dye

Ya know those things you do... that you totally inadvertently do... that end up adding more stress to your life? Or add another project?

A few weeks ago, I threw all my clothes into the washer, on cold, thinking, those cute new clothes of mine are safe... it's on COLD. Well, I learned that here in CA, where it's hot, the water doesn't always come out nice and cold. It comes out warm, even though you most certainly selected cold.

Thus, my new red pants dyed my new purple pants and my new blue pants. I'm expanding my wardrobe to include new colors. I actually used to wear colored pants for years and everyone would comment bc nobody wore colored pants back in my high school and college days. ha! I'm so way ahead of the trends. jk!

I have spent a lot of time researching how to fix these pants. Multiple washes and trips to the store later, using some color catchers and special detergents, I fixed the purple pants. YES! So awesome.

If only the blue pants would follow suit. But, no, the red dye stayed... all over the rear-end.

I finally got a hole of some RIT stain remover. They are now in the wash hopefully getting out the red-dye without removing too much of the blue dye. Who knows how they'll look?

Did I add... I stupidly wore my cute new yellow capri's to the zoo. I came home with a lot of dirts on them. I stain treated... and it BLEACHED them. So, I am also doing some dye removal for those and then I went to the store again and bought yellow dye, so I can re-dye them.

Hopefully, this will teach me to better take care of my clothes... and maybe it's prepping me for a fun dying activity in my future... now that I know all about it!

I really hope they get fixed, otherwise that was $40 for one day of cute pants!!!

Easter Photos

 

 

Easter

A little overdue.

Happy Easter!

The kiddies loved getting their baskets in the morning. The girls loved their ears... obviously! Dylan was in heaven with all the candy.

Dylan loved his egg hunt and continued with his tradition from last year... he had to open every egg as he found it. ha ha.

We just played at home in the morning. I don't recall church that day? Weird. I don't know about that part of the day.

Axie is in the pink ears, Sylvie's in the white ears.



We spent the evening at Grandma Terry + Grandpa Marks home. It is so awesome living by them. We just love seeing them all the time. Wish we lived closer... right now it's about a 30 minute drive.

We managed to snag a family photo there. Axie is in yellow, Sylvie in purple.

My goal is to teach Dylan a little more about the spiritual side of Easter next year. I need some sort of Children's Easter LDS book. We did a couple basics, but it's hard to teach resurrection to a 2 year old.

Living Room

This is where we spend most of our days. In our living room. Playing on the floor.

We load up this white basket with their toys, and the girls just love pulling every new toy out!

Correction, Sylvie will pull a new toy out, then Axie will take it from Sylvie, repeat. :)

They are SOOOOOO CUTE!!!

Gosh, I love them.

 

Chubba Thighs

I had to take photos of these adorable rolls!!

These are Sylvie's thighs... but... shocker... Axie's look the same!!

 

Baby Mum Mum

I love my babies.

Their first baby mum mums. Rice cracker thingy's.
 

Paper Airplanes

Check out these airplanes!!

Guess who made which one?


I'm assuming you guess wrong... lol!

I made the plane that LOOKS like a plane. Bryce made the one that looks like a fan. haha. Mommy wins this round! Guess it paid off in elementary school when my brother, Ryan, and I spent days making every size of paper airplane that exists. We made itty bitty ones, they were so cute!
