my life...

I spend a lot of my time...

Doing laundry.
Picking up WAY TO MANY TOYS! And this is just in the dining room! Her bedroom is worse. We are in the process of painting and turning a 3rd bedroom in or house into a playroom... these toys drive me crazy and I can't wait to just be able to shut the door! (Please take note of this grandmas, grandpas, aunts and uncles!!!!! She needs nothing more!!!)

Washing little ones...

and washing dishes.
Cooking food, picking up the house, losing my patience, explaining that the couch is for butts not feet, sweeping the floor, washing little hands, kissing owies, wiping butts, vacuuming, picking mac and cheese off the floor.

But it is so worth it... because of these 2 cuties!!

Here's my little honey bun... I tried to get him to smile for you but all you're gettin is a little smirk!
My beautiful miss Ellie. 3 going on 15. Today I told her she needed to "chill." (does it go chill". or chill." I never know. Any english teachers out there??) So anyway, I tell her to chill because this girl can TALK and TALK and TALK. It drives me crazy. Sometimes I just need a break. 5 seconds of quiet would be perfect. But she doesn't stop unless she has food in her mouth or is sleeping... it is EXHAUSTING! The girl honestly looked at me and said, "Adults need to chill, not kids." Well... oooooooooooooook then. I guess she told me. :)

Oh and get this! When Ellie and I unpacked our Halloween bin this year I found these cute leaf plates that I got from my MIL's rummage sale. For some reason I turned the plate over and read the bottom (because I was thinking they'd make a cute spoon rest and wanted to see if it said "do not use with food" as some decorative things do... well it says this on the bottom, "Prop 65 Warning: Handling this product exposes you to lead, a chemical known in the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects and other reproductive harm. Wash hands after use." WTF? In the trash they went.
