Surgery today...

My MIL is having knee replacement surgery today. What a trooper! Carson thinks this is really cool. He told me the other day that when Nana gets her new knee smoke would shoot out of it when she ran b/c she will be so fast. I forgot to tell Nana that, but I think she would appreciate the fact that she now holds superhero status with Carson. Well, I think she always has been a superhero because she is such a great Nana. However, now that there is a possibility that smoke will (haha) be coming from her bionic knee, elevated her status just a tad. How am I going to explain when no smoke actually comes out?



Here is a picture of Nana and Chole (Carson & Lauren's cutie cousin).

BUSTED!!!

All was quiet in the house this afternoon as Carson was quietly reading in his room for his mandatory quiet time (He has decided he no longer needs a nap). Lauren was peacefully sleeping in her room while I dozed on the couch listening to the rain falling outside....

OK...this is the part where you hear the SCREEEECH and I am pulled back into reality. NONE of those things happened today. The video shows you what was really going on during our nap time.

I heard Lauren calling for Carson. Then, I heard him say, "I'm coming Lauren". They were having story time instead of nap time. At least he was reading to her. Needless to say, as cute as it was mean mommy had to break up the party! Not 5 minutes later I looked up and Lauren was walking into Carson's room. Yep, she has now learned how to scale the side of her crib and escape. Big girl bed....HERE WE COME!

Faux pas...

I may have committed the biggest faux pas ever, but I don't care. I HAD to rearrange our furniture. We have had the exact same arrangement in our house for almost 9 years. When I was younger and lived at home I would rearrange my bedroom practically weekly. I mean moving huge bookcases and everything. The bad thing about living in a tiny house with not many "open" walls is you do not have a lot of options when moving furniture. So, I did it. I moved our couch in front of the fireplace out of "need a change" desperation. Hey, we are in the south people. Who needs a fireplace? Maybe it is because we have lived with the same boring arrangement for 9 years and are overjoyed to have something new to look at. Until I can figure out something else we are enjoying the change.

In our next house versatility is a MUST!

New Do...

I broke down and did it...I got Lauren's hair cut. She has had it trimmed 3 times, but this time we got the typical little girl cut. They took off a few inches to even it up with her bangs. It was looking rather stringy each morning when she got up. It looks adroable and even cuter with a bow in it!
