this past week....

was literally heaven.
*I was off work for almost a week straight :)
*I finally got my hair done again professionally~ it has been almost a year
*I went to a fun "Super Saturday" craft day with Miss M.
*We painted the day away and she was actually quite the little helper there.
*We took family pictures with my family at Freestone park
(which was actually a miserable experience: my kids were very naughty, would not sit still, Miss M decided to be pouty and Robby and Miss M kept running away; BUT Eli was an angel, there were cute individual pictures of all three kids, and we are now done with family pictures for awhile!)
*On Tuesday we got some WONDERFUL news that made us VERY happy!
*We went to the park mulitple times during the week and played, played, played in the sand
*Miss M informed me that "Taj" held her hand in primary, and told her she was pretty (she keeps telling us that he is her "favorite friend"). She asked me all week when she was going to play with him (we were semi-freaking out at this point~ she's only four); but then when she saw him at park day she smiled, said hi, and kept playing with all her GIRL friends. Whewww... I am NOT ready for the interest in boys.
*I attended yet another craft night with some friends and in the process found my new favorite babysitter in my neighborhood. Yeah!!
*And then I came across these little jewels tucked inside my camera of my kidlets sleeping at night

I love how Eli is cuddle up next to his brown bear sleeping
Once again another picture of my two-year old with a pacifier...yikes. I figure we will get rid of it before he hits kindergarten :)

and of course Miss M asleep on her bed with her princess tent propped up on the bed.

Miss M has taken this habit directly from yours truly: hanging up clothes to wear the next day on the dresser with matching shoes placed on the floor :)
