I have been MIA from the blogging world for so many days! It's this time of year, so crazy and hectic! Is it like that for y'all too?
I started work full time about two weeks ago, and since then I feel like I'm in fast forward mode and everything is non-stop. I'm trying to get it all together. Trying being the key word here. I definitely have not reached that "successful" level yet.
I got home late Friday night and God bless my neighbors for keeping Gretchen AND for inviting us over for dinner! I had planned on making pancakes and watching Monsters U with the girls (DJ was in Ruston, La for a football game) but when they invited us for dinner and I realized that I did not have to cook- score!
Needless to say, by the time we got home at 6:30, I decided we would skip movie night and I would get some sewing done while the girls played and then it was time for bed.
Saturday morning the girls were up by 7, and after breakfast I turned on Monsters U for the girls then I drug out boxes after boxes of Christmas decorations.
After the movie, the girls helped me clean up and put away our fall decorations, and we spent the rest of the day decorating for Christmas. I kid you not, at 10:30 pm I was still working on the finishing touches!
Here's a sneak peek at our fire place. I have ordered Adalyn's stocking (as of last Thursday).
Saturday started off well, until I decided to keep Gretchen busy with getting the nativity out of the box, and Megan decided the styrofoam box would be so much fun to play in and rip to shreds. We had "snow" all over the house! It was in their hair, on their clothes, and I laughed and tried to play off my mini-heart attack all at the same time!
Later that afternoon we sat down together to decorate the girls' Christmas tree, Megan decided she was hungry and she bit into a small glass ornament. Her excuse, "candy!" Um, no, it's not candy! I hurried her over to the sink and sprayed her mouth out with water, then called my mom to figure out if I should take her to the emergency room. She told me to give her some milk because that would help coat the stomach, and then to watch her for throwing up or pooping blood. Thankfully, none of that has happened, and she seems to be okay.
After dinner, I let Gretchen have gum and it got caught in her hair, which meant trying to get it out with peanut butter and then giving her a bath. By this time, Adalyn just wanted to be held, so I called our neighbor and invited her over to hold a baby!
I think morning time with Adalyn was the calmest part of my day.
DJ made me check on Megan before I went to bed Saturday night. He was totally freaked out that she ate glass, even to where he told me I needed to sleep with her, and that if I ddin't, he would when he got home.
On Sunday, I went through boxes of clothes, that I've kept from each girls. Addy is needing warmer clothes and I could have sworn we had a carseat blanket and a hat for her, but after spending the morning looking through boxes and cleaning out her closet, I found neither.
I did find a few clothes for Megan though:
I went through Gretchen's closets as well, and she has plenty of clothes for this spring! I hope the weather warms up fast because I don't think she'll get to wear all that she has! My mom may have overshopped.
I took a little nap Sunday afternoon, during the 40 minutes that Megan took hers. (Addy has not been sleeping well at night and I think Megs crawled in bed with me at one point.)
Then, I finished a few sewing projects.... I swear y'all I'm working as fast as I can to get your orders completed, photographed, and shipped! Please give me some grace as I continue to finish up orders!
DJ came home early last night so I could go to the grocery store, and that didn't happen thanks to laundry and my lack of a shower. Plus, it was freezing and I did not want to go outside anyway! We were also afraid that Megan had a little temperature, but our thermometers stink and by this morning we were in the clear. That's not to say that at one point last night I had four bodies in my bed. #weneedabiggerbed
I am so thankful that I can put Gretchen on the bus in the mornings, and everyone else is out the door by 7:20. It gives me some extra time to do a little picking up and then I get to take this girl to the bus stop!
I'm so thankful for a two day work week this week!
