DO TURTLES PICK THEIR NOSE?

Here starts my morning:

Me: Tatiana what are u eating?

Tati: My nose.

This whole morning I have wished I was a turtle. They have it so easy. They swim, eat and take it slow and when things get stressful they retreat into their shell. Where the hell is my shell? This whole buying a house thing has been a deathly terrifying, emotional rush roller coaster. We thought we would be closed yesterday and now it looks more like Tuesday. There has been one problem after another. The funds we had to redo the house have dwindled into unexpected problems. *Sigh* All the fun ideas I had to redo the house will have to wait..and wait..and wait.

BUT....we are getting a house. AND....I do have a great family. AND...there are still things to smile about. AND...even if it is with construction paper we are going to move in just in time to decorate for Christmas. AND...thank goodness I'm not a turtle because if they find themselves on their back they can't flip back over. HERE'S TO FLIPPING OVER!!

Peace

I am so in love with my little family right now. I feel like my heart could just explode I am so happy! My little girls are so much fun. Tatiana is saying the funniest stuff right now. I love her personality and spunk. I love that no matter how independent she is only I can kiss her "owwiees" away. I love that she asks me to cuddle with her every night before bed. If only I could get her stop picking her nose (yuck!) she might just be perfect. I could get lost in her big brown eyes. Alilia has become so alert. She loves to play and she will break your eardrum, she screams so loud. She has gotten so big. I put in 6-12 month clothes today and I wanted to cry because they fit. She is only four months and she commands the family. Her smile makes up most of her sweet little face and she is the most ticklish little chub chub. She is definitely her mommy's little girl and would be thrilled if I could just cuddle her all day. Her eyes have stayed that dark grey green and I love them. George has been so wonderful as always. He has worked so hard so we can get into our house. I love that his family is always number one to him. He has been working out everyday and he is smokin right now! I am so grateful for my little family.

Cornbelly's

George had a "mate" from Aussie, Vic, staying with us this weekend and we had a lot of fun. Tatiana adored him. We went up to Corbelly's on Saturday and had so much fun! I rode the mechanical bull and it was a blast. The guy working it was so nice and he looked like a movie star. He let us all ride it for free. Thanks awesome bull guy! My legs are still sore from squeezing the bull! It is harder than it looks. George went down this slide with Tati and ended up coming out so fast he fell hard on his bum. I died laughing! We really had an enjoyable weekend. Next up...yardsale, my birthday...NEW HOUSE!

2 Cute

Obviously, I have been having a lot of fun with photo shop. These are just a few pics of the girls this past week. I do make some good looking kids if I do say so myself!

It's a new day...it's a new life...

I want to be a better blogger. I'm not sure I want to become professional status but I would like to be enjoyable, refreshing, unique.
I want to get rid of anything I haven't used this past year. GONE BABY GONE...yard sale Saturday.
I want a new hair do. Blah followed by blah has been the most recent style.
I want to have more fun with my kiddos. I am so blessed to have them and I need to chill out and just enjoy them sometimes.
I need to recommit myself to Weight Watchers and get back on track to eating healthy and working out.
I need to get Halloween costumes in order. enough said.
I need to organize my time. Organization is my trail... or lack of really.
I need to fall back in love with myself. No I may not look the same as two children ago but I am still hott"ish". The truth is, the people I find the most attractive are people who are confident in who they are and it shows. So here's to me being confident!!
Lastly, I need to clean my house....and that's what I am going to go do!

I'm pretty fabulous...

My house is beyond chaos right now. How do u amazing people potty train your kids, keep your house clean, do amazing do it yourself projects, save money, keep your patience with your kids, loose weight, have amazing hair, keep up with laundry, cook gourmet dinners and make it look so easy?????? I seriously don't have the energy for it. So don't even think about "dropping" by my house now or for the next two months because I will politely talk to you through the screen door and not let you in. Nothing personal....
