Short and sweet

So, life happened again.  I'm happy to admit that I stink at blogging.  I love reading other people's blogs, and I'm amazed at how consistent they can be with it.  It's just not me.  But I'm thankful for those of you who stick around for my randomness!  


Sunday was hectic.  We went to church, I came home and cleaned some more (because I refuse to have my babysitter come to a dirty house), and then we went to a meeting about our mission trip.  Of course, Kennedy was needing Mommy time, and with a face like this, how could I refuse?  So we took a break and read "Fia First" for a little while.  (That red on her cheek is dry skin....we put lotion on and it's all better now.)


I told you today was random....this is Kennedy on Valentine's Day.  The pictures to not do justice to the amount of chocolate that was on her face and hands.  She loved it. Now, if I can just convince her it tastes better if you don't let it melt all over the place first!


This was Valentine's Day as well.  My sweethearts were being sweet and reading books together.  Moments like these make all the crazy "I want to pull all of my hair out" moments worthwhile!

Saturday Morning Fun

I love, love, love lazy Saturday mornings.  My girls have been playing so sweetly together!  I even got to sit and drink an entire cup of coffee without having to get up.  Wow!  


Here they are sharing a couch and a blanket....at the same time!  


Kennedy is OBSESSED with shoes.  She decided to help Kayt put hers on this morning.  Looks like Cinderella.  Kayt was loving it!


I guess she had to stretch it out to make it fit????


I LOVE this outfit!  I'm addicted to MudPie!


Ken's face is the one she makes when you ask her to say "cheese".  Note to self: refrain from asking the child to say "cheese" in future pictures.


Emma was watching and wondering what on earth was going on.


My crazy child.  This is why I don't let her pick out her own clothes.  Ever.  She does okay with the clothes...it's the massive amount of accessories that kill it!  hehe


Sweetness!  

Sorry for the overload on pics.  Hope you're having a great Saturday!  I guess maybe I need to go get dressed now.  Boo!

Valentine's Decor

I'm one of those weird people who tries to decorate for every holiday.  I'm obsessed with Fall as a whole, Christmas, and Easter.  Valentine's Day has never been one of my biggies, but now that I have little ones, I try to do something.  I realized a few weeks ago that I was seriously lacking in Valentine's decor.  My hubby came to the rescue!  He even let me go off budget (If you know him, you know this is HUGE) to get some new stuff.  And it was well worth it....Kennedy went nuts!  Hearts, Mommy, hearts!  hehe  This isn't all of it, but I thought I'd share some of what we got.


Our mantle is now a little more festive.  


I love these wooden words.  So sweet!


Steve picked this heart out.  I wasn't 100% sold on it, but now it's one of my favorite things.


Did I mention that I love the wooden words?


The girls love having hearts on the table.  I'm hoping the weather will cooperate this weekend so I can finish the "new" kitchen table and chairs I've been working on.  Can't wait to share those!  They're not even finished yet and I love them!


Hooray for bright red!  


We also got these vases that I can use all year round.  I've got to run back to Pier 1 and get the flowers I found to go in them.  I'll share as soon as I make it there!  That's on the list for this weekend too!
