here we go again...

Well this morning I decided to take Harper to the doctor. She has been coughing a little but nothing bad. Adam and I got absolutely no sleep Saturday night or Sunday night. She was up all night long. She seemed to be pawing at her ear like a puppy dog would do. I know she isn't old enough to pull on them but i think that was her way of letting me know they hurt. After daycare reported yesterday that she was fussy all day and never napped over 20 minutes....we decided it was probably time to see Dr. Farr. You guessed it....DOUBLE ear infection. Poor thing....she is only 10 weeks old. I am praying she doesn't follow in her big sisters foot steps with the ear infections. She is at her Granny's today and will be at her MawMaw's tomorrow. If that don't make you feel better....nothing will! Please pray for us that we all get sleep!

Let's get our carve on...

Granny always surprises everyone each year and dresses up. She never tells what she is going to be. In the past Henley has been scared of every costume....so this year she decided to be a crayon. Henley wasn't scared but still seemed a bit puzzled as to why her Granny was dressed up like this. She is so much fun and the kids just adore her as do we!

Every year we have a pumpkin carving contest with Adam's family. We always look forward to this. This year it was a little challenging with 3 small ones in the house, but we still were done before 8 oclock! Natalie skipped out on us a little early so she is not in the picture but she did carve the cinderella castle! I carved Cinderella for Henley and she loved it.

Take a guess on what this pumpkin is below...its Adam's pumpkin!

He says its The Bear, but I think it looks more like Freddy than Bear!!

My two Stinkers....

Harper at 10 weeks old and Henley at 3 years. Henley is still just loving her to death! These two girls can be a handful but I wouldn't have it any other way. Okay....well maybe with a little less temper! haha!

a couple of pics

Here is Henley on her barbie jeep. Mom bought her this over a year ago at a yard sale for $50.00. What a bargain! She has been terrified of it for the past year and for some reason decided yesterday that she would finally get in and take off. She was so cute on it! As you can see it looks like her mommy taught her how to drive. haha!
Here is Harper at 9 weeks and almost 12lbs! Too cute for her own good! Poor thing had 4 shots last week and hasn't been sleeping all night since....i guess i should say poor mommy and daddy!
Hopefully, we will get back in that routine! I shouldn't complain....if we get up, its only once and only for about 45 minutes. I know some people get up every few hours with their little ones!

Working Momma...

So yesterday was my first day back to work from maternity leave. I only shed a few tears after dropping Harper off at daycare. She seemed to do fine! Wow, was last night busy.....I walked in the door Adam was already cooking supper. I started giving Harper a bottle and had the great ideal to iron clothes at the same time.....that was very interesting! Gotta do what you gotta do though. After supper and kitchen was cleaned, both girls had to have baths.....after baths they had to be put to bed....no time to really play. I do think Adam played with them for a few minutes upstairs while i was picking up and putting clothes on the wash. It really is true a woman's work is never done. I am just so thankful I have an awesome husband that helps!

An update on Harper....well she and I had a nice long talk on Sunday night. I told her that her mommy was going back to work and she and daddy really needed their sleep. She listened and said she would do her best! Yippie, she has slept all night the past two nights. Henley on the other hand has woke us up both nights. I guess I need to have that talk with her. haha! Maybe tonight!

Henley blows out 3 candles....not literally though

Henley turned 3 September 26! I can't believe how big she is getting. In the picture above was the night I made cupcakes for her party at school. She has yet to blow out candles on her birthday so i thought this year would be the year. I talked it up for days. I thought we better practice at home the night before.....no luck. She was all smiles like in the pic above until she saw the flame! I ended up blowing it out for her.

As you can see in this picture her friend Mason blew it out for her at school. She also was too shy to play pin the tail on the donkey at school.

Once again at her real birthday party.....no blowing the candles out of her Princess cake! Her party was at the park and I was so scared it would be ruined by all the rain. Every thing turned out great!

The rain held off until the very end of the party so we just let Henley and her friend, Braden, play in the rain for about 30 minutes! She had so much fun. They were hilarious! Happy Birthday Henley!

Gearing up for BAMA FOOTBALL! I think this is such a cute picture of Henny and E-I! Wow, we have the cutest red headed and blue eyed kids ever. We meaning Alana and I! Remember they aren't brother and sister....just cousins!

Above was a 3 week photo shoot with me. She has on a precious little dress that her Aunt Lana bought her. It fits her so good and its 3-6 months.

Isn't Big Sis so sweet to Harper! Henley still loves her to death and wants to hold her all the time. Wonder how long it will last?

Well I thought I should do a short update and post a few pics. I have been so busy trying to take care of the kids, keep the house clean, and plan for 2 birthday parties for Henley. She is having one at school and then another at the park. I really dont know how I will manage all of this when I go back to work in 3 1/2 weeks! As for now, everything is going pretty good! Keep in touch for horror stories when I go back to work. Gotta go make cupcakes so until next time......Roll Tide Roll
