Day 20: Eyes

I love these baby blues. :)

Day 19: Animal/Insect/Pet

This is our cat's favorite sleeping position. How she sleeps this way I never will know. It makes my back hurt just looking at her. 

Day 17: Your Addiction

Let's just overlook the ones I've missed and skip ahead to day 17 eh?

My addiction? Cleaning. Not that it is clean all the time, but I love when it is, and I even love the process of getting it clean.

 As long as it's not the fridge...... I despise cleaning out the fridge.

Day 9: Big

Eva tried on one of her very favorite "princess dresses" and (thankfully) decided it was too short. So while Lyla napped, she put it in a gift bag and paced outside her door waiting for her to wake up. I've never seen anyone so excited to give a present before. I was so proud of my big girl! 

Day 8:lunch

This is not the picture I envisioned for this day, but it's more accurate. After taking some pictures to post I set the camera down to take a phone call and Eva went to work. After taking a million and one pictures of a bag of skittles, (skittles are exciting stuff) I found this and it made me giggle. Lyla's ranch-y little face all over my water bottle back-washing like crazy, and me looking horrified, but not being able to do a dang thing about it! My double chin I didn't find quite so humorous. Double chins are a plague.

Day 7: Garden

It might look crazy and unkempt, but I love my garden. That tree looking thing is a mass of tomato plants that wants to take over. I'm hoping eventually I'll know what I'm doing!  

Day 6: Chair

I finally got around to painting the last 2 dining rooms chairs. (I won't admit how long they've been waiting for their makeover!) This picture is terrible, but it's too hot to paint during the day! 

Day 5: on the floor

Eva in her best Rapunzel voice, "BEST. DAY. EVER!" They kinda love stamping. Now if only they would learn how to clean them properly (or at least not dip their knees, diapers, toes etc in the ink) I might be up for it more often! 

Day 4: Fun

Pictured: Watching Barbie in a Mermaid Tale 2 in an igloo tent = Fun. At least when you're 4 and 2. 

Not pictured: A rare nap = Pure Bliss. At least when you're a mommy. 

Day 3: Best Part of My Day

I love bedtime! Honestly the best part of my day is a tie between the kids bedtime and when they first wake up. As long as they aren't waking up before 6 am. That I don't love so much. 

Not that anyone is worried or even noticed until I felt the need to point it out, but we don't make them share a tiny bed. They just like to snuggle during story time.  

My sister convinced me to do this photo a day challenge I assume in the hopes of seeing something NEW on this old blog, so here goes! 30 days of me.....oy. 

Day 1: self portrait. Sweating it up in the car. YUM. 

Day 2: Busy. Gotta love shopping! Especially with two cuties who apparently thought it was cah-razy funny to pretend to run me over.

She's 2

My baby is not much of a baby anymore! She's a big 2 year old girl and we all love her to pieces. Her favorite things are chocolate (BIG time), being outside, swinging, dancing, singing and TALKING. She's good at getting into everything and being quiet about it! She's my little shadow and must know where her mama is at all times. She loves to say hello to everyone and practice what we call her "Miss America wave". Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Halloween

I can't believe I'm this far behind...

The girls were bumblebees this year (although I think they look a bit more like convicts!) Needless to say, they loved Halloween. Eva, the little rebel, decided she didn't like being told what to say when we would knock on doors, so she would make up her own saying, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" "HAPPY MOTHERS DAY" or "I'M NOT SAYING THAT" were her favorites.

Lyla figured out that being little and cute had it's advantages and would just say "more" until she felt she had received an adequate amount.

I love these two!

The Big 4!

This is rather late news, but my little girl turned FOUR! I have nearly been banished from celebrating birthdays with my kids because I turn into such a bawl baby. She's loving being a big grown up girl! Her only request was to go to the Children's museum. And for her own barbie. Sigh. I was kind of hoping to avoid ever owning one. HA. HA.

Crazy birthday morning madness! Eva was not all that impressed with my breakfast man, but Lyla at least seemed happy with it.

We spent alllll day at the museum! I have to admit I think I have as much fun playing with the stuff as the kids do! All went well aside from having to run Lyla to the emergency room in the middle of the day. She hurt her arm while we were there and I figured it was broken, but it ended up being a dislocated elbow. OUCH. The doctor yanked it back into place and told us to go back to playing at the museum. It was actually pretty weird.

I think she spent an hour straight just playing with these little cars.

I'm thinking Lyla got the better end of the deal here. :)
