Childproofed…. really?

I walked into the kitchen and saw the plastic bowls and plates on the floor.  Great!!  That goes wonderfully with the plastic cups all over the house.  But wait! I know Kylie can get into the plastic cup drawer.  I gave into that a while back.  She NEEDS to be able to destroy something in the kitchen.  But now plates too??? 
I was hoping the cabinet had been left open.  It wasn’t.  Here is why I have plates and bowls all over the floor.  

I guess you could say bicycle straps are no longer an effective childproofing tool.

Under Construction.. Again

My blog is under construction. Again.  You see, I decided that it would be fun to be more organized in my approach.  So, I'm going to give it a try. 

We'll see how it goes.

Be patient. please :)

First Haircut Traditions

Kylie had her first haircut last weekend.  We went to Cool Cuts 4 Kids.  It’s a tradition.

At first, she thought it was okay.  Then the tears started.  She was still, but she cried and whimpered the whole time.  A sucker didn’t even stop all of the tears!   All done!

And, just for kicks… here are the pictures of the other girls having their first haircuts too!

What is your 100%?

I was talking with a friend of mine the other day about how crazy life is.  While we were commiserating at how busy we are and how some people just don’t get it, my friend made the comment that everyone’s 100% is different. 

For some odd reason this has really stayed with me.  My 100% these days is a lot.  You don’t need my laundry list to know that I’m exhausted.  If you see me, you can see it.  If you know me and my lack of crafting, you can sense it.  And if you see how little I am blogging, you might can tell it there.

I truly don’t want to be a martyr and I really don’t want to be that person that is always tired cause she is always “so” busy. Therefore, I am taking an inventory of my life and deciding what is my 100%.  Then I’m going to stop. (well, hopefully…)

So I am wondering, what is your 100%?  How did you decide or figure out what that was?  Are you still struggling to find it and if so, how are you staying on top of it?

If you have any ideas, please send them my way!

And since I can’t just end a post without a picture, here are a few pictures we took at Fort Worth’s Botanical Gardens last Sunday.  It was a beautiful day.  In fact, it was hot!

Wickedly Cute

Halloween has come and gone and I have lots and lots of pictures to share!

We began our Halloween on Friday with a “Safe” trip around downtown with hundreds of children.  It was nuts and after just going around half the square we bailed out and went and ate dinner!  Thankfully the kids were hungry and considered this to be a good thing!!  

After a yummy meal we ventured to the pasture of some friends and took a few more pictures!  How could we resist?

On Saturday we continued the fun with a Fall Festival downtown, volleyball games and the girls played with my parents.

Then, since we hadn’t had quite enough excitement, we took the girls for haircuts, went to the Botanic Gardens and finished the day at my sister’s house for a neighborhood Halloween party. 

All of those pictures will be posted after the Rangers game!
