Monday Madness

It's Monday and everyone always dreads it...........not me.

 WHY??

I guess it is because I get to stay at home and everyday is a work day for me........except for Sunday!! 

 Do you have a hard time grocery shopping with your children??

I do!!

I end up forgetting tons and buying more than whats on my list.

What am I talking about??

I usuall forget my list!! haha

  Jamie is now doing the MAIN grocery shopping and that is totally awesome!!  He is a thrifty one which is a good thing!!

When he came home, Sophie Clare always helps put the cokes and my TAB away.

It looks to me like I have a TAB problem!! haha

This morning we hit the ground running. The house needed a cleaning and we needed diapers. I was on my last 2.

WHEW!

That is cutting it close!! 

 I had clothes folded and was at Walmart by 9:15 and were back home by 10:00.

What else did I accomplish today??

I swept, mopped, put up dishes, washed clothes, folded clothes, cleaned Sophie Clare's room, vacum the bedrooms, clean the glass in the french doors and MADE A NEW DISH FOR DINNER!!

Do you see why my title is called MONDAY MADNESS??

What did Sophie Clare do while I cleaned??

She laid in the dryer!!

She talked on the phone and

played with her T T in the  dryer!

She pretended that is was NEW YEARS and CINCO DE MAYO!

Played with the umbrella!

She napped from 12:30 till 4:15.

She loves here purse and carries it everywhere she goes. I had to sneak it while she napped to wash it. It was so dirty!

Here are the things that are in her purse all the time.

3 heys (cell phones)

flashlight, lip gloss, money, a small book, change purse, yogo bites with dispenser, clippers, small clip board, a picture of pop, a picture of Natalie when she was little and a caculater that she thinks is a phone.

Finally we have a clean purse and she did not even miss it!

As I mentioned earlier, I made a yummy new dish and will be posting that tomorrow or Wednesday!!

Spring In January

The weekend is coming to a close and what a beautiful weekend it has been! 

We haven't done anything special except play outside.

 Yesterday my mom and dad had my neices so we played with them.

Jamie went to the Alabama / LSU game and brought me some DREAMLAND sauce! 

 I can't  wait to grill some ribs!

  After a great message at church, we headed to Zaxbys!

There Zalads are the best! 

Sophie Clare was excited to get home and be outside. I did not even make her change clothes. 

This is her posing for me!

She is such a sweet girl!!

This girl is has the heart of a gardener. 

She loves to dig in the dirt and wear her gardening gloves!

Sophie Clare LOVES her hot wheele tricycle! She does not peddle it, just pushes with her feet. Boy, can she fly on it!!

My aunt Janine and Uncle Frank live next door. They have 4 dogs in a pin and Sophie Clare LOVES to go feed them bread. So on this warm day, we headed to Aunt Janine's house.

Got to love the shoes with the dress. I am not real particular with Sophie Clare's clothes as some of you may know. Although the way she rides her tricycle, she would have ruined her shoes.

We had a great day being outside and look forward to an exciting week with friends and family!!

Want to Play (Linky Party)

Happy Wednesday!!

I am linking up with Peppermint Plum to show you more of my flowers!

I am hooked on these girly girl flowers.

Be sure to click your way over to Peppermint Plum to see what all the other ladies have made!!

Brad...............

What do you think about THE BACHELOR??

Brad is such a hottie but sometimes he does not seem so cool!!  I mean how many girls can you have that strong of a connection with??

Michelle seems a little on the WEIRD side.........ok maybe a lot!!

Emily is really sweet but I am not sure how I feel about a MOM being on there.

Chantel O......I really like!!

The Nanny seems sweet.

The dentist........I am afraid she has issues although I liked her a lot in the beginning!

As for the other girls...............I really don't have an opinion!

What do you think??

Who is your fave??

She's Finally Dry

Today has been a typical Monday. We got up, ate our breakfast and laid on the couch while Sophie Clare had her milk milk.  As soon as she finshed it was on to sweeping, moppping and doing laundry.

Sophie Clare was a huge help!

Usually, she pretends to spray shout and clean out stains. haha

 Not today, she played in the dryer and had a blast.

Enjoy just a few pictures I took of her.

We  have a busy week ahead but I will be popping in!!

Have a great week!!

These Boots Are Made For Walking

We were getting ready for church and I was trying on some boots I had forgot about. I love to forget about shoes or clothes...........its a treasure to find them and LOVE them!! 

Sophie Clare thought she should be like mommy and try on boots.

I LOVE IT!!

She makes me smile everyday!!

Natalie' Baby Bump

I asked Natalie the other day if she had taken any pics of her belly since the last time I did.......her answer was NO.   I know later she would love to look back and see how she grew. I know I drive her crazy sometimes but I know she will be glad that I did this. haha

She is now 21 weeks and looks so cute!!

Meet Taz

This morning Sophie Clare and I went over to see what Natalie had got done on baby Carver's room.  I can't show that just yet but don't worry I will. It is so so cute and Natalie made her bumper pads. She is so talented.  Besides getting ready for Carver, they also added to there family a new sweet puppy.

MEET TAZ

He is the cutest little puppy and so playful.

Sophie Clare was not to sure of him so she stayed on the sofa with "neine" Janine.

Next up will be Natalie's baby bump!

My Girly Girl

       Sophie Clare is such a girly girl and I love it! 

 I bought her some play make up and she LOVED it.

She looks beautiful with her green and blue eye shadow.

She is ready with her pink lipstick.

This is my favorite picture of her. I love her lips and how poochy they are!

Have a great weekend!!

Baby Love

Sophie Clare is such a good little mommy! She loves her babies and takes very good care of them. She loves to feeds them, rocks them, pretends that they cry and if you look close this baby is biting her finger!!

When that baby bites her finger, I always tell her I am going to spank that baby!!

  She will just laugh!!

After that baby bit her finger, I told her to LOVE her babies and that is just what she did.

She kissed all 3!!

I love that she loves babies!!
