Chaos & Sleepless nights...Tis the season!

My motto for tonight ~ "if you can't sleep....edit pics & blog."  Yes, it's 1:30am on Nov 29th and I'm awake due to a little caffeine(I knew better!) & my windchimes dancing in this fabulous rain storm...haven't been awake at this hour in a loooong time!  Tomorrow should be a fun day at work.... 

With a 4 year old & a 16 month old...so much can happen in the blink of an eye!  The day after Thanksgiving the girls & I dug out all of our indoor Christmas decor..BUT, I realized that I had way too many breakables so I was a bit nervous.  Luckily(just kidding!), Lindsey ran out of diapers...might I add, this was "Black Friday!"  Great.  So, thinking I had a plan, we headed off to K-Mart for diapers and possibly a good deal on shelves to hold my decor....ummm, BAD IDEA!  K-Mart was crazy, cashier lady was not nice, no shelves, and waited in line for 10 mins for the diapers & Frosty the Snowman(yes, I'm a sucker for cheap movies...especially Christmas ones!)

Since we were out and I really wanted some shelves...the next best stop was Lowes.  And hallelujah, hardly anyone there, no wait for the lines and I walked out with 3 48" shelves & 1 24" shelf for under $60...bargain!

After figuring out where to put them and then realizing Chris was still in the woods hunting, my dad came to my rescue and put them up for me!  And I LOVE them!!

Christmas decor with Chris' off-road trophies...he won't let me take those down for nothin', lol!

The girls were so excited to see all the Christmas decor, movies, stuffed animals & daddy!  He came home a day early to see his girls.  Hailey was tossing one of the stuffed animals up in the air, when it hit a plaque that I have above one of my picture frames...knocking it off the wall & landed on her little head...poor thing!  Pain & drama go hand in hand with her...so we played one of our popular games,  "Let's make a Deal."  It worked and she got the hold the cold cloth & apply pressure...after a few minutes, she took a look..."Moooaaaam!"  There's bleed!  Is all my bleed gonna come out?!"  Followed by round 2 of tears.  She was fine after realizing she was going to live.  The next day, she wanted to see her boo-boo & the best way was to take a picture:

As for Lindsey, through all the decorating/shopping chaos & boo-boo's, she has been having some serious cravings...from bananas to yogurt to mommy!  I couldn't tell you how many times she came in the kitchen, tugging on my pants hollering, "nanas?!" and "yagart?!"  Soooo, tonight(or should I say last night) mommy became the hero after a Kroger trip to get her fav's!  She enjoyed every last drop...



Might I add...she ate 2 bananas & a full cup of greek yogurt!

Finalized! ~ Hailey's Ballerina Bedroom Redo

I am totally singing the  HALLELUJAH CHORUS !  After months of contemplating Hailey's bedroom redo and realizing after I started that this was harder than expected with tons of DIY projects...it's DONE!!   Well, at least for now.  Possible that I will continue with cosmetic procedures later, but for now...here it is... Just a walk down memory lane... even though it's totally embarrassing with overflow of clutter in which I strongly dislike... Oh my...look at the bedskirt, lol!  Felt a tad bit sorry for Lindsey who thought she belonged with her favorite stuffed animals in the hammock.... But anyway, after painting her walls pink and hand painting sillhouettes of ballerinas...it was on!  I have been so greatful that God placed the perfect people in my path to finish Hailey's room with one of the Dance mom's, Jenna Pratt who exchanged a ballerina comforter set plus pillows and curtains for a video baby monitor...absolutely perfect! ...

Down memory lane - Winter 2013

If there's one thing I love most, it's snow days!! Down time with fun in the snow and hot chocolate, cuddles and watching some of our favorites like Toot & Puddle, Franklin, Little Bear, The Berenstain Bears, Olivia, The Backyardigans, Sofia the First...or any Christmas movie, especially the Polar Express!  We love snow days!!                                   Nothing better than waking up to snow and homemade fun. The girls decided to dress up our snowlady and chose Snow White after looking through their dress-up clothes...neither of them wanted snow white to melt....   After thawing out and a warm bath, Lindsey always enjoyed playing with her playhouse and would always holler for me to come find her and let me know she was in her house. She loved how she could fit inside and imagination play.... . Lindsey started getting a cold but continued to smile....I mean, who doesn't love that baby...
