Catchin' up

Baby* gave me what I thought was a "teething cold." Now I have chest & sinus congestion, along w/ a peeling, sore nose. I think I am on the mend though! That makes me happy. I just need my energy level to come back.

Saturday, Casey and I went to his boss' wedding. We had a very nice time, it was beautiful. I had already been sick w/ a sore throat and runny nose a couple days, but somehow, by the grace of God, I survived the night w/ little ailments. So here is my Saturday Self-Portrait (not taken by me, of course...)



Sunday, we just didn't make it to church. I rolled over in my sick bed, to hear Casey groaning about his body aches and congestion. Baby's cold strikes again! Now, I am trying to clean the house the best I can, to prevent the other two from catching it. Which leads me to, my Silly Sunday...



Ahh, so true. Well, my coffee cup is empty, and I can't remember my last shower. Have a wonderful week, my friends. Mine is looking up!

*I don't think I have mentioned before, Baby is Alivia's nickname. It was shortened from Baby Cake, which Josie called her for a long time, even before birth. We know she isn't a baby, but she is ours. =)

Fashion by Sharpie

Update to yesterday's "Fruit" post....



The girls are dressed. Well, the ones we have found anyways. Nothing special, but I never claimed to be a swimwear designer. =) Josie love their new looks, and Momma is happy!

Edited to add:



Guess Purple has been flirting w/ Green? =D

Perhaps she ate the forbidden fruit?

Yeah, it had to have been the peach...no, no the orange last night, yep!

Today, Josie's friend Jacque came over. As soon as they were in the door they ran upstairs like always. This time, Josie was yelling "Come on Jacque! I have Barbies in my room! (she giggles) They are naked!" Then she giggles some more.

Wonderful!!! (too bad you can't hear the sarcasm in my type, b/c I am seriously rolling my eyes here)

She knows "privates" are private, we teach that early on. It's the naked ppl = funny thing that she must've just caught onto. I used to think that unrealistic Barbies were safe in the hands of my newly 3yr old. Nope, not here. I vote to Sharpie on some bikinis on them, at least. Saves me from having to put on those tight dresses, or see the perky boobs on them!

Wordless Wednesday

Why yes.....

I do have big teeth! (Just like Momma!)



....and red hair! (Who's kid is this?) It doesn't look this bright dry, but still.



She really is getting big! Her personality is growing more and more each day too! I love that I am starting to understand her jibberish, and she is starting to understand mine!

Keeping it in the family...

Sock-n-crocs (Livvy style!)



Just so you know, I seriously considered photoshopping out the overflowing garbage in this pic, and then I thought "Hey that is Casey's fault not mine!" LOL!

Silly Sundays

Gotta love "that week" of the month. Hannah's singing made me cry, the kids made me crazy, and I felt very invisible.
