This and That

-
The girls and I tore apart some storage bins the other day.  Baby clothes were taking over the garage. It’s kinda out of control.  I’ve allowed myself one bin of keepsakes that I hope to do something fun with one day.  I’m leaning towards making a quilt of old baby clothes that have sentimental value… Halloween and Christmas outfits, the adorable jammies that both girls cozied into, coming home from the hospital outfits… you get the drift.  Kaleyn decided to call on her inner Cinderella and try on every pair of shoes we came across… all that no longer fit her.  I guess that would make her the evil stepsister instead of Cinderella?  No way Jose… not my sweet pea.




Don't get rid of all my old clothes mom!
We have been dealing with some serious sleep deprivation over here (and by we I mean myself and little miss Lana).  I don’t know what’s going on with that girl… well I kinda do.. she loves her family and would much rather be with them than sleeping.  She also is crawling and pulling up pretty much every waking minute so a lot going on developmentally.  But seriously…  girl needs to nap before she drives mamma bonkers. Oh, and it would be nice if she would sleep past 5:30 in the morning.  Plus the bags under her eyes are not very becoming.

I don't sleep...

or sit still!






Kaelyn has brought her sister into the Wiggles World.  I am starting to believe that Lana might love them just as much as her sister.  Which makes me super duper excited that we are going to see them live in September!


It's a rare occasion that I plop my youngest in front of the boob tube… but sometimes desperate cranky times call for desperate TV measures.
The girls got to hang with the beautiful Isla yesterday and I got to see my bestie Brett. I love our new spot but miss my boos… we had such fun catching up and pulling one another's hair (the babies did this.. not Brett and I).




As you can tell based on this last picture…  a certain 2 year old is in much need of some styling in the hair department.  We haven't really known what to do… she doesn't have a lot of hair to work with so we have been hesitant to cut it but for the love of god… something has to be done.  This weekend we are heading to Orlando to visit Nonnie and will also be visiting a salon for the first time… hopefully they can work some magic.

Appreciating: November!

AHHHH!  Prepping for a new baby and holidays make for one crazy combo in my world.  So here we are, February knocking on the door, and I am finally posting our November, December, and January.  Better late than never I suppose.  It's been a super busy three months, but we have celebrated Thanksgiving, a new niece, Christmas, and prepared for a new arrival by moving the girls into one room and getting his nursery ready to go. And now, November.. We have moved up in gymnastics... now both girls get to play while mama sits.  My kind of gymnastics class.   We traveled to Tampa for Thanksgiving this year.  No baking involved... Ruth Chris Steak House for the win. A Thanksgiving celebration at school Daddy Daughter Date Our annual tree selection ceremony.  This year I was pretty insistent on the tree we chose... which ended up being a dud and hardly making it through Christmas. ...

Good-Bye 2015

Happy New Year!  We actually stayed awake long enough this year to say good-bye to 2015.  We even made it out which I don't think has happened since we had our two beauties.  You better believe the minute that clock hit midnight we were hailing the first Uber driver available to get us home.  This was mainly due to Kaelyn being awoken by the barrage of fireworks and not being able to settle until she had her mama passed out in her bed. We said good-bye to Nonnie yesterday after a week and a half of time together.  We were able to celebrate Christmas and say hello to the New Year together and it was oh so special.  Aunt Kelly and Ethan also joined in on the fun for a few days. Nonnie brought all of these presents We watched our tree, Dingo (Kaelyn named him), be hauled off yesterday and have taken down the last twinkling light.  We didn't let the year and the warm weather leave us without a final trip to our favorite spot. ...

How Did We Get Here?!? Kaelyn’s First Day of Preschool (and some serious catching up!)

I had no intention of putting my eldest daughter in school this year.  I figured I would reap the last drops of my sweet girl before she began the never-ending journey that is her education.  I have a sappy heart and for selfish reasons didn't want to let my girl go.  Well after a discussion with Kaelyn on the prospect of school and the enthusiasm she didn't try to hide from weak old mom... I decided to let my little bird fly.   After asking around and checking it out online we decided on a local school that just so happened to have two available spots… one for Kaelyn and one for her bestie, Luke.   After touring the school… Kaelyn was sold and there was no looking back.   Which brings us to today.   Kaelyn marched down the hallway and made herself at home in her new classroom.     I was the mom that was in the car loop twenty minutes early after the longest three hours of my life.   She  got in the car and proceeded ...
