MORE OUTSIDE.......

IT WAS MY BRIGHT IDEA TO TAKE 2 SLEEPY BABIES ON A WALK TO THE CREEK, BAD IDEA, THEY CRIED ALL THE WAY TO THE WATER AND ALL THE WAY HOME. THEY HAD FUN PLAYING IN THE WATER THOUGH, ERICA AND KAYLA WERE WAY MORE BRAVE THAN ME ACTUALLY GETTING IN THE CREEK.

BEAUTIFUL SATURDAY AT OAK MOUNTAIN

IT WAS GOING TO BE SUCH A GORGIOUS WEEKEND SO ME AND KAYLA, HAVING SPRING FEVER, MADE LAST MINUTE PLANS TO TAKE THE BABIES TO OAK MOUNTAIN (HAYHAY WAS AT THE BEACH). WE WERE JUST PLANNING ON A PICNIC AND LETTING THEM PLAY BUT WHEN WE GOT THERE THEY HAD OPENED THE PADDLE BOATS EARLY SO WE GOT ONE. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN, TATUM AND BRAX WERE A LITTLE WORRIED AT FIRST BUT THEN THEY LOVED IT AND FOUGHT OVER WHO WAS GONNA DRIVE. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE BEAUTIFUL DAY. TATUM AND BRAXTON CRASHED BEFORE WE EVEN MADE IT OUT OF THE PARK!

NOT SO HAPPY EATER

MY POOR BABY HAD BEEN SICK SINCE THURSDAY, THE LATEST VIRUS GOING AROUND AT DAYCARE. BY EASTER SUNDAY SHE HAD NO "GET UP AND GO" LEFT AND SHE JUST WANTED TO LOUNGE. SHE NEVER EVEN TRIED ON HER CUTE LITTLE EASTER DRESS. SHE HUNTED EGGS WITH HALEY FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES AND THAT WAS IT. EVEN THOUGH SHE DIDN'T FEEL WELL, WE THANKED GOD FOR THE GORGIOUS DAY HE GAVE US AND WE HEADED TO THE PARK. HAPPY EASTER!

DYING EASTER EGGS

EVEN THOUGH TATUM HAD BEEN SICK SINCE THURSDAY SHE HAD A BLAST DYING EASTER EGGS. HER AND HALEY HAD WAITED SO LONG FOR THE EGGS TO COOL AND THEN IT WAS TIME. TATUM PICKED THEM UP BARE HANDED OUT OF THE CUPS AND DUNKED THEM DOWN IN OTHER COLORS. NEEDLESS TO SAY HER HANDS WERE STAINED SO BAD, THEY STILL LOOK A LITTLE GREEN. THEN WHEN IT WAS TIME TO PUT THE STICKERS ON SHE WAS SO JEALOUS THAT THE EGGS WERE GETTING STICKERS AND NOT HER, SO WE HAD TO STICKER TATUM TO!

SORRY THAT I HAVE BEEN SO BEHIND ON POSTING NEW PICS, TATUM BROKE THE SCREEN ON MY CAMERA SO I CANT SEE WHAT IM TAKING PICTURES OF.

IT GOES BY SO FAST.......

I CAN'T BELIEVE MY BABY WILL BE 2 SOON, SHE TURNED 22MTHS OLD YESTERDAY. IT SEEMS LIKE JUST YESTERDAY SHE WAS BORN AND SO FRAGILE, NOW SHE RUNS AROUND SCREAMING, SINGING, PLAYING, RUNNING INTO THINGS AND HER FAVORITE TELLING ME "NO MOMMA". SHE IS GETTING SO BIG SO FAST, SHE CAN SAY HER ABC'S, COUNT TO 10, SING "THE BUMBLEBEE SONG" ALL THE WAY THROUGH, SHE HAS MEMORIZED 5 BOOKS. SHE JUST AMAZES ME DAILY WITH EVERYTHING SHE HAS STORED IN HER LITTLE BRAIN.

TATUM'S MORNING ROUTINE

OK SO EVERY MORNING IT USED TO BE WWIII GETTING TATUM READY, FINALLY A FEW WEEKS AGO I FIGURED OUT A COMPROMISE. AFTER I GET HER ALL DRESSED SHE GETS TO SIT ON THE SINK AND WASH HER HANDS WHILE I DO HER HAIR. SHE NEVER MAKES A PEEP, I COULD TAKE 20 MINUTES DOING HER HAIR AND SHE WOULD STILL BE PLAYING IN THE WATER. NOTICE ON THE FIRST PICTURE SHE HAS HER FEET PROPPED ON THE SIDE SO HER FEET WONT GET WET. THIS MAKES MORNINGS MUCH MORE PLEASANT!
