vintage finds

i was in the janie and jack store and saw the cutest rompers for boys.  of course they were way overpriced, but found these cute clothes on etsy.   i believe i have to buy the overalls...  they remind me of something my mom would have put us in.
overalls  and   red romper

meet the new family member

introducing miss bella.  my mom's new dog...not ours.  i'm not crazy enough to get a puppy with 2 toddlers and a new baby :)  bella is kinzie's new best friend.  which explains why she's in the pics w/ bella. 

the answer to multi-tasking?

my old sling was recalled... too bad this bad boy is like $100 plus dollars.  mom can we make one of these?

leftover picnic lunch

the mound of pink bibs and crates of girls clothes to be packed away.  i even pulled out 2 boxes of stuff for a girlfriend.  i just couldn't bring myself to get rid of everything.  who knows, there may be a fourth in our future...

activity books

just finished these books for the girls.  made out of felt...of course.  i thought they'd be nice for the gazillion doctor appts. i have.  soon they'll be every 2wks then every week.  ugh.  Plus we'll have a ton of well baby check up appointments once he arrives.   

they helped mommy out today

sid's pretty good at this if anyone needs help.  kinzie on the other hand will just get you wet...

can you believe we were in our summer clothes!?  kinz fell in love w/ sid's old pair of dora light up sandals.

WARNING: post may contain poop

let me just say...  in the beginning i always thought little girls would have little farts (or fluffs as we call them).  after having two baby girls, we have found even though they are very small, baby girls can fart as loud as a full grown man.  now having two toddler girls, i again was fooled into thinking their poo would be relative to size.  this is just not the case.  these tiny little creatures have clogged our toilet more times than i can count.  between the two of them the bathroom was used 4 times in 1 hour today.   ...good gravy.
i was grossly misinformed on the matter. 

you didn't really think i'd post a poo picture did you?

it's a juggling act

friday morning.. sid's been sick, but we think she's better.  so we send the kids to west virginia with mama and papa.  larry and i go to riverside for his extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy that will break up his kidney stone.  things seem okay that night.
saturday.. we wake up.  get a call that the girls are both sick.  larry starts having pain from the kidney stone.  it's so bad we leave for the er.  on route to grady and his doctor calls back and says we have to go to marion general.   larry is close to dying of pain now.  we get to the er.  they make us sit in the waiting room for around 20mins!  mind you larry is about to die of pain.  i now know why everyone says not to go to marion general.   once we get a room and about another 20mins later,  he finally gets some pain medicine.  his urologists said the stone was broke up.  the er doctor said it was not.  meanwhile, the girls are so sick that wayne and linda pack up and head home with the girls.  (who puked in their car more times than i'm sure they want to remember.)  late afternoon, we decide to take our chances and leave the er.  we pick up the girls.  change their puke covered clothes and head home.  larry has now caught the flu from the girls.  saturday night was a rough one to say the least. 
sunday..  i am sick now.  kinzie seems to be the worst.  it's the sickest she's ever been.  i have never washed more puke covered things in my life.  the good news... larry's kidney pain seems to be getting better and better. 
monday..  we are feeling better.  all except kinz.  she looked like death until about 7pm.  she finally started to come around.  then sid poked her in the eye with a fork.  it's never ending i tell you...

not many pictures were taken this weekend, but here's the few that were. 

how we spent most of the weekend.  the outfit sid picked out by herself sunday.  the piece of toast i sat on. 

J'ai oublié mon pantalon!

after two years of french in high school i can only remember how to say two things; the title of this post which means "i forgot my pants."  and  "can i use the restroom?"

sid has never worn her pants at home.  kinz is now following, and i can't keep her pants on either.

i've always wanted..

a cute diaper bag.  but being cheap, i've always used the free ones they give out at the hospital.  the one i got with kinz is falling apart and i'll need a new one.  again, being cheap, i thought i'd wait and use the free one i'll get with the new baby.  then i found out the new one is a backpack style bag.  not very functional for every day use in my book.  i saw this bag on the gap website.  so cute, yet it doesn't scream diaper bag!  but being realistic... i'm too cheap to spend $50 on a gap bag!  

a rare occurrence

when they are this lovey dovey.
