Day #19
Thankful for weekends :)

I've been lacking motivation and energy these past few days. Today, after only 5 hours of sleep, somehow I had energy. Well, either that or a combination of being sick and tired of a mess and needing to take out my frustrations on something. I have spent all morning cleaning. I swept, mopped, dusted, cleaned the bathroom, got caught up with laundry and much more. It feels good to be in a clean house. :) I cleaned like a madwoman all morning. I'm worn out, but happy. On my to do list is, organizing the bathroom closet, kitchen cabinets and my closet. I'll feel tons better when that all gets done.

My daughter's new favorite toy!

Monday blues

I am dragging today.. Anyone else feel the same way? I woke up to a screaming toddler, who woke up her baby sister.. There are dishes to be washed, laundry to be folded, errands to run... Right now I sit on my couch watching Frasier reruns with a nice cup of coffee. I won't say that my breakfast was a cupcake leftover from my daughter's birthday party. Now I guess I must get my girls from their beds and start my day. All the while in my head my inner child is screaming "NO I DON'T WANT TO"...

Can I have a day off?!

Ps. Monday Etsy Finds coming later...

Hair Style

On Nov 3rd my baby girl turned 3 years old. I can hardly believe it. We spent the day at home, we had celebrated at Disney the week before. :) I made her favorite dinner, quesadilla, and I made cupcakes. We had a little celebration, just the 4 of us. We'll be having a small party w/ family and close friends this weekend.
I wanted to do something fun with her, so I curled her hair. She looked so sweet with curls, I can't wait to do it again!

photos

I LOVE taking pictures, especially of my girls. About 6 months ago, I got my DSLR camera and am enjoying learning all the ins and outs.. I LOVE envisioning something and seeing it come out :)
I've also been learning photoshop and have been having a blast playing with it.

We went to my niece's baptism and I loved the church.
I love this shot :)

Beautiful doors

cute shot of me and my girl. I had to bring out the colors in this one...

3 all around!

Today, Nov 3rd was a super special day in our house!!! My sweet baby girl turned 3 years old today. :) It is hard to believe that 3 years ago I became a mom. It was such a perfect day. She was such a little doll baby and I can't believe my little 7.12 lb baby is now this fiery little girl. She's growing so fast and I love her more by the minute. She is such a fun little girl, so lively and full of energy. She loves her mama, but is a total daddy's girl. She loves Disney Princesses, pink, baby dolls and all these girly things. She also loves cars and LOVES Buzz Lightyear. :) So much so, her birthday party next week will be Toy Story themed ;)

Today I made her favorite dinner, chicken quesadillas, then I made some cupcakes and we had presents. It was just the 4 of us and it was perfect! Next Saturday we'll have a small party at a local park. It's her first party with friends, we've kept her parties simple up till now. lol She is so excited and can't wait for cake and presents. lol

Today was also a special day b/c my sweet baby turned 3 months old. Time is sure flying with her as well. She is a total mama's girl and I love it. Though she is very clingy and it makes for some long nights sometimes. She has brought so much joy to our family. The sweetest times are when she looks at us and smiles. She LOVES her big sister and flashes her the biggest smiles whenever she's around. I love it!

November

Can you believe November is here?! So scary!!!
That means in 2 days my baby will be 3 years old. I can hardly believe it. I look at baby sister in shock b/c I feel like big sister was JUST my baby. Now she'll be 3 and I have a new baby. Time just flies by!

Hard to think that 3 years ago I was anticipating the arrival of my daughter. I had no idea what I was in for. Her birth, sadly, is a blur to me. I remember seeing her, feeling an instant overwheling joy over finally becoming a mom. Holding her for the first time was a dream come true. She was gorgeous!!! She had puffy cheeks (still does), beautiful pouty lips and blue eyes. I had dreamed of having a blue eyed baby :) She was perfect! I will never forget holding her for the first time, I never wanted to let go.


Now she's this stubborn, too smart for her own good, extremely talkative ball of energy. She's my little buddy and I love her to pieces! Watching her grow and being her mother has been amazing! Now I get to watch her in her new role as a big sister and she is just SO good. These past few weeks she's grown and changed so much. I love the little girl she's becoming. She is constantly amazing me. :)

And I had to share a pic of my girls on halloween. :) Aren't they so cute!? I was so happy with how the ghost costume came out, I made it :)
