All I want for Christmas is sleep...

I have so much to do before Santa comes, and so little time. Yet I still procrastinate. Therefore I will be up late every night between now and Christmas, I'm sure. And will then crash after. Merry Christmas to me:/

Tell me lies...

I keep saying that I'm actually going to blog a little more often, and I keep telling lies...life is just too busy!
Shaun and I celebrated 7 years of marriage this past Saturday, amazing that it's been that long! Of course, I had to work, and it was a crazy day! We went out Sunday night, and had a fabulous meal, thanks to anniversary money from Jon & Ruby, Gram & Papa, and Mom & Dad. Thanks guys!

I started keeping a "love" book for the girls, just a simple journal so I can tell them all the cute things I love about them! The thought of them not knowing all those things that make my heart smile...it would be soo sad!

On a side note, business is booming...I get at least two new orders a day for hats...get those orders in!

Polly want a Cracker?

Finley today: "I found a cracker!"
Me: "Finn, that's old and it's on the floor!"
Finn: "I have to eat it!"
And eat it she did. Yum.

What's Going On?

For some reason, I am awake at 6:45, with a Four Non Blondes song stuck in my head. (Well, I am still up from getting the girls off to school.) I guess because I got up and stepped outside? And I took a deep breath, but that's where the similarities end. (Sorry, no getting high and screaming, "What's going on?" Just not my style.) Why I started singing that song is beyond me. Who knows?

However, I did realize that my baby isn't a baby anymore. Finley is no longer a toddler, but now very much a preschooler. :'(  Stuff that she talks about blows my mind. She knows what she wants and what to say to get it. She is growing up, and it makes me sad. And makes me want another baby :) Thank goodness Hadley still looks like an infant instead of a toddler, cause Shaun would be in trouble. ;)

Easter bow special...

The Easter bow special was such a big hit that I may not get much sleep between now and Sat night! Good thing my girls are well behaved! (At least most of the time...)
Finn had an appt today with the Ear, Nose, and Throat Dr. and they determined that she needs tubes. Her hearing has been affected by all the fluid trapped, so the Dr. wanted to take care of it before it affected her speech! She did good for the most part, just got hungry and sleepy towards the end, and wasn't too keen on cooperating. When will I ever learn to schedule dr. appointments early in the morning?

Beetles on tha Wall!

We went to Gatlinburg this weekend with some friends to relax and get away. We stayed in a fabulous resort with indoor waterpark, which was great. Except for the ants. Or beetles, as Finn called them. She would hunt and hunt and then scream, "Beetles, Daddy, more beetles!" Shaun would wipe them up, and she would be off to hunt more. We had a great time in the waterpark, Finn and Hadley both looked so cute in their "bayling soup" as Finn calls it. I didn't get to make a single hat or bow, and I'm okay with that. Tomorrow, however, is another story :)

Friday Funny...

Since Finn likes to get up at the crack of dawn on my days off, she often showers with me. She is very talkative, and likes to point out things that are hers. One of our last showers together went as follows:
Finn: "This my poo. It for my hair."
Me: "Yes, that's your shampoo."
Finn: "This my soap. It to wash my booty. I wash my bum with it."
Me: "Yes, that's your body wash."
Finn: "What this soap for, mommy?"
Me: "That's my body wash. I use it to wash my booty."
Finn: "And you bum. You got a biiiigg bum."
She then proceeds to pat my big bum a few times for good measure.

Kids. So good for your self esteem.
