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!
