My Week in A Few Pictures

Charlotte has been pretending that she's a Mommy lately.  Note the oversized sunglasses and the twins in tow.  Usually she also has a purse and "coffee."  I can also hear her playing house with her brothers:  "Sweetie, the cookies are ready!"(Which is hilarious.  I can't remember the last time I baked cookies.)   "Honey, it's bedtime!"

Then the booty-shaking began.

That girl is something else.

Yesterday, I was folding laundry.  Charlotte kept running in and out of Nathan's bedroom and smiling slyly.  Suspicious.  So I went in to investigate, and found this.

Lotion everywhere, even on the floor and in the bottom drawer.  It was a bear to clean up.

On a crafty note, I attempted to make a lamp for Gavin's summer-camp bedroom.

I bought this vintage jug at a flea market for $6.  I love it!  Except that every time I plug it in, I blow a fuse.  I can't figure out the problem here.  I'm sure the wires are connected to the right spots, and I can't find any information about voltage on the package of the lamp kit.  Any suggestions?

*EDITED TO ADD*  I think I figured out the lamp situation!  Right on the package it says:  3-Way Socket Kit.  I think I need a 3-way bulb.  Shoulda paid attention....

Have a great week!  :)
