Lily's TV Request

Flipping through the channels on TV, Lily asked me to go back to "that girl one". I went back it was a make up segment on QVC. After a minute she said, "I want to watch fishing. That's funner." I never thought I'd say this but we are watching fishing on TV right now. So, where exactly did Lily learn about fishing shows on TV?

PS Bella stomped off saying "I don't like fishing."

Stalling Tactics

Kids were put to bed 20 minutes ago.

1 minute ago I hear the pitter patter of little feet, fumbling door knobs and then this...
"Mommy, Daddy forgot to pray for us and I need to give Sarah a kiss!!"
- Sincerely Bella

Free Help

A few people have 'encouraged me' to use their daughter as a mother's helper this summer. But so far these two are all the help I need (and a healthy dose of their father).
There is little that these two super stars can't do... Grabbing diapers & wipes. Finding pacis. Repetitively singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" to a crying sister. Making their own juice. Holding Sarah. Picking up toys. Making peanut butter sandwiches. Vacuuming. Folding laundry. Getting out craft supplies (and putting them away - thank you very much). Best of all...entertaining themselves.

A few of them caught me off guard and sleep deprivation is my only defense. But at least our spices weren't involved and you can reason with a 5 and 3 year old - well sort of.

Oh Baby Snaps

While it looks cute and innocent. This face really means

I'M ABOUT TO GET FUSSY ON YOU!

This face usually means FEED ME
but this morning it meant CHANGE ME NOW!

This face means

IS IT 3AM? BECAUSE I'M READY TO HANG OUT.

I found myself singing this at 2:30am...

Who needs sleep?

Well you're never gonna get it.

Who needs sleep?

Tell me what's that for.

Who needs sleep?

Be happy with what you're getting.

There's a guy who's been awake

Check Ups & Polka Dots

Sarah met Dr. Owens today. She got an all healthy report. Her heart still sounds normal - not even a murmur (amazing for our family). Her weightloss is in the safe range and everything else is just normal. A trend in our family is funny looking belly buttons and it seems Sarah will not be spared. Hopefully that means there will be no need for vetoing bikinis in 10 years :) Now for the latest cutie patootie picture of our babe...

Ayres Baby Hair Salon

In an effort to tucker our new babe out we decided to give her a bath tonight. The girls wanted to open a baby hair salon. So off to Ayres Baby Hair Salon I took Sarah. She loved her first trip to the salon. Enjoy the pictures!
