Stinker

I think my BABY is a bad influence on my 3 year old. :P

Gross! Adele found my tinted Burt's Bee's chapstick. Went to TOWN. Even dug her finger into it and applied everywhere! Thank goodness she kept it to her face and hands....oh and hair. Its way gross, chapstick hair. Not something I wanted to deal with right now.

She came in to show me and asked me to help her wash her hands up (she doesn't like being dirty). Oh yes and she asked for more...do you think she needs more? :)

Victory!

When Mommy thinks Daddy has Elaine....and Daddy thinks Mommy has Elaine.....

Elaine will succeed in the thing she's been trying to get for the last 2 months. She finally got mama's baking chocolate out of the box and unwrapped AND had time to go to town before she finally came to find us. See her lovely chocolate handprints?

I wish we had taken a picture before she fell backwards and bumped her head! She had a HUGE grin of satisfaction. Oh well I had to get a pic of her chocolate face anyway :P

Not sued to having a baby that gets inot things....Adele was the kind of kid that wouldn't get into something If I told her no once. Elaine is a little more sneaky...darn it! 

A Word to the Wise

Adele went upstairs yesterday and told me she was going to sleep. Because she was "Sweepy." I went up to check her about 30 min later because usually her going upstairs by herself usually means all the lights will be turned on and she will probably be reading to all her stuffed animals.

But yesterday she did actually go to sleep. At about 3pm. I went up to check her and she was sound asleep under her covers cuddling her star pillow. Babysitter (MIL) got here at 4, I tried to go wake her up and she woke up and yelled at me and went back to sleep. We took away her naps a month or so ago because she wasn't going to sleep until 10 or 11ish. But seriously she was ticked and I didn't want MIL to have to deal with her wrath, especially with me leaving Elaine, She was gonna have a hard time anyway. I told MIL she'd wake up in 10 min or so and we'd be back at 6.

Got home at 6, she had JUST woken up like 15 MINUTES before we got home. So yes my 3 year old took an almost 3 hour nap. We shrugged and just figured she'd watch a low key movie while I went to the gym and when I got back at 10 we'd put her to sleep.

But when we went to put Elaine to bed (they share a room now) at 8pm she grabbed her blanket and said she wanted to go to sleep too. We were shocked! And happy! .....ahhh such naivety....

She did go to sleep with Elaine. But at midnight she was UP, and when I mean up I mean UP. In our room talking to me, cuddling, bouncing.......I told her it was time to go to sleep. Put her back in her bed. She came back 15 min later. And we did the same routine, this continued for 2 HOURS. She went to sleep finally at about 2:30.

NEVER NEVERRRR Will that child have such a long nap again. I'll do the old cold water on the head trick my parents always threatened me with. hehehe

My family

Just a quick post of a pic I LOVVEEEE :)

Who's got Talent?

Adele thats who! Look at this! She AMAZES me! This is a Dinosaur I had the opportunity to see before she erased it. Seriously she's awesome. 

My cuddles

Teddy Bears & Favorite Blankets rock. The Teddy is usually sitting up in the corner of her crib but she moved him so she could cuddle and sleep on him. How ADORABLE is that! :) 

Good Intentions

Last night as I laid in bed and thought about what a slacker I was for not working out, I made up my mind. Bright and early at 6am i'd jump out of bed grab my gym clothes, Mp3 player and Matthews work card and run to the gym for a fast hard 45 min workout. Jet back in time to take a shower before Matthew left to work at 6:55 (IF he was even on time) , read my scriptures, clean up the front room, throw in a load of laundry and make breakfast for the girls before they woke up this morning.....

So why at 5:50 when the alarm went off did I moan, cover my head with my blanket and cuddle into my pillow while Matthew got up and reset the alarm for 6:45? LOL
