busy weekend, busy weekend ahead!

With Memorial Day weekend just ending, I'm glad to have a day at home with my girls. It's time to just catch up and get back on routine before another busy weekend. My cousin Rachel is getting married on Saturday and Macey is honored to be the flower girl. With a trial run of her hair this morning, I realized I need to get some cuter baretes than what we have in the house, dogs and rabbits on them won't fly. I still need to find myself a fun colorful necklace to go with my new black dress that I got last week. ($8.98 from Steve & Barry's!) My aunt is in town from Portland so we will be spending much time in Holland tomorrow, hopefully finding these two needed items. It sounds simple, but with two girls and working around naptimes (which I am trying hard to stick to this week so we have a happy content girl on Saturday), it's not such an easy task.
Brenda made a list the other day of "good" things that happened during the day, so that has inspired me to make a list as well.

This following list is called, "What I've realized this past weekend"

1. My little girl is no longer a newborn, and now a cubby little baby.

2. Macey is no longer 2, she thinks she's an adult. Asking to use Mom's make-up, using phrases such as, "oh because", "I don't like that book either", "I like that light brown horse, not the dark brown horse", going to the bathroom all by herself on the potty and telling me, "Mom go by Dad!" Macey do all by herself!" Where does time go?

3. I miss being pregnant.

4. Formula is WAY too expensive!!! I will be nursing my next child if he/she likes it or not :)

5. I REALLY like my new $5 stroller, even if it is way outdated.

6. I like 80 degree weather much better than 40 degree weather.

7. A house can get extremely messy even when you're never there and always on the go.

8. I love pampers swaddlers.

9. Macey needs to stop whinning very soon.

10. I kinda like doing lists like this!






Kels tuckered out at the park.

In Mommy's arms is where she likes to be.

Lists are really fun and easy to do! They are fun to read too...
Great family picture. Whose idea was it? Is Macelooking at her feet in that picture in the field?

1. What a creative family picture!

2. Where is your campsite at Sandy Pines? I can check it out next time I'm out there.

3. The SP waterpark is insanely awesome... Macey's going to dig it hardcore.

4. Eden must also cease whining. I want to rent a padded room somewhere to stick the little bugger until she can ask me for something without making my ears bleed.

5. Judah's not a newborn anymore, either... I put him in a *6-9* month outfit the other day!

6. Lists *are* fun. :)
