Boone camping in June...

As I posted earlier, we went camping over Father's Day weekend. We had a great time, and we are looking forward to going back!

I am that girl...

We went camping Father's Day weekend, and we had so much fun! (I will post pics soon, I promise). Well the bathroom was pretty close to our cabins, which was awesome at three in the morning when you really gotta go!
Well, one time that I went, I put paper on the seat like I always do, did my business and went walking back up to the cabin. It was a beautiful day; there were birds chirping, I saw kids running around, and heard the sound of laughter coming from nearby camp sites. I went to the cabin to change, and my wonderful hubby starts laughing, whips out his phone, and takes a picture.
It seems that when I pulled up my shorts after using the bathroom, one of the long strips from the seat got caught in my waistband.

I had a toilet paper tail.

I was what the laughter was about.

I'm sure I was why the kids were running.

And my husband could barely stop laughing long enough to snap a picture.

Now that's love.

Gram and Papa...

Gram and Papa celebrated sixty years of marriage tonight. We had such a great time visiting with family and enjoying the love shared between them! I will post pics soon! Congrats Gram and Papa, I pray that Shaun and I are still that in love in fifty years!

Things I say 20 times a day...

If I say it once, I say it two thousand twenty times:

Finley, do you need to pee-pee?
Finn, get off your sister.
Finn, be nice to your sister.
Hadley, are you hungry baby?
Finn, did you poop?
Finn, where is my phone?
Finn, you cannot have more cheese.
Finley, do you want a spanking?
Finn, stop pulling Sissy's hand.
Finn, stop pulling Sissy's feet.
Are you ready for bed?
Finley, stay out of the play doh.
Finn, why did you take your hairbow out?
Finn, where is your hairbow?
Shhh, Sissy is sleeping.
Finn, go to sleep!
Finn, did you know Mommy loves you?

A Day in the Life...

People ask me how I handle two kids under 2. So, here is how my day goes:

5am: Haddie wakes up wanting to nurse, Shaun gets her and brings her back to bed.
6:40am: Shaun gets up to shower and gets ready for work. Finn stirs at the sound of a shower, but goes back to sleep.
7:10am: Shaun leaves.
7:15am: Finn wakes up.
7:45am: Get Finn out of her crib. (She likes to play for a while, talk to her bear, etc.)
8:00am: Breakfast - yogurt, banana, cheese toast, cereal bar, whatever she's in the mood for.
8:30 to 11:30am: Laundry, Facebook, general straigtening up. PBS kids for Finn. Feeding Hadley when she's hungry, usually every 2 hours. Change diapers.
11:30am: Hadley goes down for a nap.
12:10pm: Shaun comes home for lunch.
1:00pm: Shaun leaves, Finn down for a nap. Hadley wakes up from her nap.
1:15 to 1:45pm: Mommy/Hadley time. Shower if it's a good day.
1:45pm: Finn wakes up.
2:00-4:00pm: Play with the girls, clean up what Finn gets out, change diapers (I tend to change at least one an hour.) Start planning dinner. Facebook, if I'm lucky.
4:30pm: Start dinner.
5:20pm: Shaun home, eat dinner.
6:00 to 8:00pm: Family time.
8:15pm: Bath, pj's, get clothes out for tomorrow.
9:45pm: Fall into bed *sigh*

And sometimes I work 8 to 12 hours, so everything gets squished into 2 hours. It's fun and all.

My little fish...

Back when it first started getting warm, I bought a little kiddie pool for the girls (and for me too, if I'm telling the truth). Finn has decided that it's the best thing ever, and wants to go swimming all hours of the day, rain or shine. One day, I came home from work and her lips were blue, teeth chattering, and she still didn't want to come inside. I guess she gets that from her daddy!

Finn has also really started talking in the last couple of weeks. She asks for food and toys by name, and it's so cute to see her growing up! But, she seems to add an "F" to most words. A bug is a "buff," down is "dowff" and a flag is a "flaff."

Her favorite letter seems to be "H." I hear her all the time asking herself "Where H?" And she's all about snoring. She pretends to sleep, lays her head down and snores. It's too cute!

Hadley is doing well, also. She is rolling over from her belly to back, and has decided that she loves a passi. She is just a little peanut; she's 30th percentile for weight and less than that for height, so I guess she'll be my petite one!

I have truely been blessed with these precious girls, and I am so thankful for them!

My child is such a girl...

Finn has started really getting into clothes and shoes. Yesterday she picked out the outfit she wanted to wear and the shoes she wanted to wear with it. It wasn't an outfit I would have picked, but I couldn't convince her otherwise.
But today, she took it one step further.

She picked out MY shoes. High heels. With sweat pants. And was sad that I decided to wear flip flops instead.

She's only twenty one months old. What's it going to be like when she's sixteen? Jesus better return before that!
