Early bedtime

I just love love love the pictures of her eating. I love even more watching her eat. She gets so excited and hardly turns her nose up at anything. I love it.

So I am definitely going to bed early tonight. No more staying up late for me. I have no idea when things will get done, but I'll figure it out.

Lillian had another rough day. I don't know what to do with her. She is so spiteful and ugly. I just don't get why she has to be so mean all the time. Over silly stuff. I just don't know what to do with her aside from locking her in her room until she is 30. The movie portrays Rapunzel as a sweet, nieve woman...maybe that will work for Lillian?

I hope you have a good day. I miss you so much! I love you! Good night. 

Bedtime

I am giving myself a bedtime. I would say a strict bedtime, but I am already past said time. I did get a couple gifts wrapped tonight. I am going to try and do a couple everyday so I don't have to do them all on Christmas Eve...like usual. But anyway...I have to force myself to stop staying up so late. I try to stay up and do as much around the house as I can while all the kids are sleeping and then I am exhausted the next day. I have to stop doing that.

It was crazy in the baby room this morning...we had 9 infants. NINE! I got there first and as soon as the 8AM ladies saw me they brought me 3 babies. Omygoodness. I had 4 babies for close to 20 minutes by myself plus lily and christian. But thank goodness Lily and Christian were there, they sat on the floor and played with 2 of them, Addison was in a jumper while I fed another one.

They also enjoyed their hot chocolate from Starbucks this morning, they asked if they got up early every Sunday if we could go get Starbucks before church. I have ruined them. I may have to start making them hot chocolate before church. Maybe get them little travel mugs. Who knows...I'll play it by ear and see how many times they actually get up early for their early morning drink.

I love you, and I hope you have a good day!

 first starbucks beverage

she kept flipping her fork upside down and spilling her food...but she was trying to use it.

busy busy saturday

we were go go go all day today.
Christian decided he was finally going to spend some of the money he has been hanging on to for forever. And he didn't hold back...he spent $45 on a big hero 6 action figure.

Poor Lily who saves nothing...did not get to spend a bunch of money at the store. She has been doing better at saving money. One thing I can say I am proud of is they are doing a secret santa at cheer, and she used her own money to get her friend's gift.

not much else happened today. we watched the football game. it was much much better than i thought it was going to be. it was not a complete blow out. which is good.

other than that I just have pictures. I love you, have a good day...

 he loves reading her stories now that he can read. he reads to her every day

goofy girl. lol

Sister Wives

So the Y had a mini Christmas party for the kids tonight. which was nice. Everyone was able to see Santa and get their pictures taken, and have snacks. I didn't even have to take them to the mall. However, it was $20 a family, and when we registered to take the kids Mattie didn't have any cash so I paid for hers. Well she gave me cash tonight. So Christian sees her give me money and sparks some questions. So he asks...do you and ms. mattie share money?
Well, yea sometimes we share with each other but we always pay each other back.
Soooo, do ya'll share everything?
 Well I guess..yea...she's my friend.
Well, are ya'll gonna share Steve when he gets back?
 Ummmmm no. You don't share husbands.
But I thought you said you share everything?
Yes, but you don't share your husbands.
 But where is Riley's dad? I am sure Steve would not mind.
Well, Riley has his own dad that works far away too and Steve probably would mind.

Mattie and I spend so much time together Christian thinks we are sister wives.

After the thing at the Y we took all the kids to Vito's. The kids were all really good. The boy's were crazy, but a tame crazy. The girls were too cool to even sit with us :(
Then, the boys were mad because they couldn't sit alone.

But it was a lot of fun. All of the kids got to get together and have a good time.
Well have a good day. I love you

the little things

On a day that quickly went south. It's things like this that melt my heart. She sat here and helped him read his book tonight. Melted my heart.

I don't really have much to write tonight.

Christian got his hair cut tonight. I am not really a fan of him growing his hair longer. But he likes it.
So I have finally associated staying up too late with my oversleeping. Go figure right!? Who would have known? So I am trying to go to bed early tonight.
Anyway have a good day. I love you. Good night

I made dis!

I am super proud of my handiwork. It took a few days and multiple burns with the hot glue gun but it is done and I love it!

I've come to the conclusion that I need to write you earlier in the day. I had so much stuff to tell you then I get to bed...and...nothing. My mind is blank.

 Cheerio freckle. almost made it! She enjoys throwing food from her chair to the floor. Im telling you...Whiskey is going to be obese by the time she learns to eat.
O which reminds me...The gifts from your mom came today. I out Addison's together immediately and Christian is furious they have to wait and she doesn't. LOL. Whoops. I didn't think that through. But...honestly she won't know, and I didn't want to wrap that huge box. So I didn't.
But her chair is amazing, and everything I hoped it would be. I love it...so does she.

 I love how much they love each other. She loves Christian so much and I honestly think he loves her just as much.

I am so happy with how these turned out! I took a bunch and only 3 were good. Go figure.

Hopefully the girl's outfits come soon. So I can do the rest of the pictures for everybody.

I love you baby and I miss you so much! Have a good day!

Back to black...

So I colored my hair back tonight. I debated about it right up until the very last second about getting rid of the highlights. I liked them so much, but now that I look at my hair back to normal...I like this so much better.

So...I was able to finally convince Christian into playing baseball again. After talking to him, he was frustrated because he doesn't feel like he is getting better. So I told him he technically is still little and won't be able to see how he is getting better until he is like 10 or 12. But if he quits now he will never be better, he will only be able to say he gave up when it got hard. LOL. So...he is back in. Woo Hoo!

 So you have to look close. But the little "S" at the bottom step. Yup...definitely sat and watched a snake climb up the swing set today.

 Addison says she has to seal all your gifts with a kiss

 It tastes like you're getting something good.

 I came in like a wrecking ball. LOL! Guess who's back!?

Christian got his football trophy tonight. We didn't go to the team party. I can't remember if I told you about that or not. But we didn't go, so Christian met his coach at the park tonight. Coach gave him his trophy and they made them Christmas ornaments with the team pictures inside, it is super cute.

Well I am still working on the pictures. So I love you and have a good day baby!
