Doll Dilemma

In nursery class there are 3 wonderful little girls and they all love dolls (yeah!).  Unfortunately, in our nursery, there were only two dolls.  This was a problem that needed a quick remedy.  I went on a shopping spree during the week to a second hand store in Wiesbaden.  Sadly, we (me, Emily, and Ivan) arrived about 15 minutes before closing time.  We had to spring into action!

Emily was the one that found exactly what was needed (she is just like her father that way...when it comes to thrift store shopping she has the knack).  Also, I must admit that the Lord was looking out for his dear little sisters in nursery, too.  

The dolls cost $1 each (wow!).  I didn't have time to carefully shop the infant clothes section, so I grabbed 3 outfits while the bell started ringing to get all customers out of the shop.

When we got home I dressed the dolls in the clothes and they were way too big (sigh).  Let's just say that between Jay and I and staying up very late Saturday night we altered the doll's clothes to be (sort of) the right size.  If you look close enough you will see how horrible the sewing and cutting jobs are, but from afar (and in the girl's arms) everything is just right :o)

Here we are on our way to church.  (How many people can say they get to play with dolls at church?)
