My Own Happily Every After

As I was doing Micaela's laundry, I pointed out to her that the soup she spilled on her dress stained. She replied "You just need to use Oxi Clean Max. It gets out the toughest stains. I think you can buy it at the store."

Compliments of Oh Sweet Sadie, Target, and Old Navy :)

I am a sucker for any reason to dress the girls up. Christmas and Easter are just a few of the times I convince my husband that they need new outfits. Our Easter was fairly uneventful, blame it on the snow, but we had a great day as a family. The girls got easter baskets with new bathing suits, which I will surely share because they are adorable, and a lot of chocolate.

Speaking of...my diet today consisted of a diet coke for breakfast, two brown sugar and cinammon poptarts for lunch and an oreo mcflurry for dinner. This while I'm reading a book about eating fresh vegetables.... Oh and the mcflurry was an award. Both girls had immunizations today and it was tough for the whole family, hence the ice cream for dinner. Sometimes you just need an "ice cream for dinner" day.

I haven't blogged in months. I think it is a somewhat daunting task to start blogging after having not done so for so long. Which is why I decided to start over. A new, fresh start to blogging. We will see how this goes. Blogging is hard to do with little kids, especially little girls with boogers in their hair trying to touch the keyboard. Oh yes, we are sick at my house. The never ending colds that result in dried snot on the couch. Where my girls learned to wipe their noses on the couch is beyond me. I use toilet paper. Mainly because I am too thrifty to buy kleenex. Describing myself as thrifty is funny. I think I am the opposite of thrifty. Spendy? Yes that is a much more accurate description.

And stop. Scarlett just fell down and started crying...more accurately described as whining. The cry that says "I'm not hurt, but I need attention." So I pick her up and spin her around until she is dizzy. She loves this. She says "weee" the entire time. I love ths because it cracks me up. The only problem is eventually we need to stop. She does not like this at all. She wants to keep "weeing." I hope this isn't her first step in leading a life of hallucinogenic substance abuse.

Another reason I want to start blogging again is because it leads to me taking more pictures. I have a hard time remembering to take a lot of pictures, which may have to do with having a camera that frequently doesn't work. Anyways, my father has a camera that works and he took this beautiful picture of Micaela and her new little cousin Brock aka Broccoli. I think he will forever be known by me as "Brock aka Broccoli."


He loves me very much. I can tell because he always stopped crying when I was holding him. I think he realizes that I am "spendy" and will spend money on cute babies. Especially as he is a boy and I am unfamiliar with boy babies, but I think I like them.
