Pumpkin painting fun

Well we have night 2 in her crib. I also got her to use her pacifier. Woo hoo! So I went and laid her in her crib, gave her the pacifier, and she went right to sleep. PARENT WIN! Yay! She actually used her pacifier all day when she got fussy. Used it for her nap time...when she finally took it. Everything, it was great. I am glad I finally found one she likes, as weird as that sounds. But she doesn't use it often, and it's better than her chewing on her fingers.

She sat up all by herself today I was so proud! We were taking pictures, and I had the pumpkins set up so she could lean up against them. Well she was so absolutely fascinated with the straw that she ALMOST fell face first in the straw. But she caught herself without her hands or anything and sat straight up. It was amazing!

Pumpkin paint was fun! I will have to take pictures of everyone's pumpkins tomorrow. They all did really well. Christian made a horrendous mess. it was bad! I was able to clean up most of it, but unfortunately I let them use my acrylics. I wasn't able to get all of it off the chair :(
I got maybe 90% of it off. I wanted so bad to be mad, but he is a kid....I should have known better. He had fun and you can't really tell anything is messed up.

so here's where I am a horrible person. I laugh every time I see them drop Ainsley on her face.
Yup...I'm a horrible person! Right on her face...
It is hard to tell which one Lily is now that her hair is short. She is one of the only girls without long sleeves on. I read the email wrong. I was so disappointed. Luckily it isn't ACTUAL competition and she isn't in uniform...because they wouldn't let her compete.

I made a delicious treat tonight and it smells amazing. Assuming is tastes as good as it smells I am going to make it again and attempt to send it to you. 
I bought a food storage sealer a couple weeks ago for the veggies and meats. I figured it would help store them better.

Sorry I was so irritated today. I get so frustrated because it honestly feels like since you left I have a harder time keeping them on task. It feels like they respect absolutely nothing, and not being malicious about it. They just kind of float around...drop trash here....drop toys there. They are not, they are not being bad by any means. But come on! Must you drop trash everywhere you go?! I just get so frustrated. I clean everynight when they go to bed, and then they wake up and mindlessly destroy this place.
I will give them this though. They woke up and so sweetly walked the dog quietly. Then they made me and themselves breakfast. Because they said, I always work so hard for them they wanted to do something for me.

Well, I hope you have a good day! I love you baby! I miss you so much! I cannot wait until you are home.
