Here Tatum, Jadi & Samson playing in the awesome tent Jami's neighbor made for her kids. Mom, another sewing project!!! :)
Tatum at her dirtiest! It was a beast to clean her up, but she was having so much fun!
Sweet little Hayden hanging out with me in the tent.
Beau roasting - for everyone! :)
Jami enjoying dessert.
Tatum post-s'mores munching.
Tatum & Hayden lounging while Beau and I packed the truck to leave this morning. I hate to brag, but I have some really cute girls!
And, finally, after a long trip down the mountain (Tatum got REALLY carsick) and a 2 hour drive home, the girls crashed quickly on the living room floor while I started laundry.
They played hard!

I hope that all of you moms out there are having a great day! Mine was a fun, slightly busy day spent with family. Beau and the girls were especially helpful and well-behaved (respectively) and made the day extra special for me. I even got a very appropriate gift as of late - a gift card to Joanne Fabrics so I can really be crafy...perfect!
Tatum made this cute gift in Nursery at church today (well, I was there with her of course, but it meant the same). She was very proud, but I think she wanted it to be hers. I'm sure I can share the goodies, Tate!
And here's the last fat picture of me that will be taken. Tomorrow Beau and I start our Weight Watchers phase and I'm determined to rid myself of the many extra pounds gained in the last few years. Maybe posting this will keep me extra motivated!!!! I'll be 30 in August and don' t want to start that chapter of my life carrying more than I need to. Fingers crossed...here we go!

Poor Hayden has another ear infection and is headed in the direction of getting tubes in her ears (we'll know more after her appointment on the 23rd). The sweet thing was up last night for a couple of hours off and on with a fever (more teeth, too, I think) and still manages to look so stinking cute despite.
No matter what she has ailing her or how badly her sister pesters her, she has the best disposition ever.
We love you Hayden! Feel better!

We've had a pretty uneventful week at our house, but the girls have managed to provide some entertainment along the way.
Last week we tried (more like I tried) to potty train, with no success. I officially have the most stubborn child alive. She begs to wear panties and use the potty and when we give it a real try, she has no interest. "No potty, mamma, diapers!" After a week of the fight, I've decided to give us both a breather for a week or so and try again. Hayden, however, loves the potty...
She's also taken to crawling and is all over the house now. I call it crawling, but it's more of an army crawl. She's FAST! So fast, in fact, that before I knew it, she had crawled behind the couch...
All the while, Tatum's shoe obsession escalates. She's amazingly good in heels. I must admit, I'm a little impressed and it's very cute to see her walking around the house in huge shoes (mine, Beau's...doesn't matter). I am not, however, a fan of the cleanup.
One final thing, I'd like to tell all of you that I am a huge fan of kids television shows today. I'm not talking Ninja Turtles and Sponge Bob, but Dora, Blues Clues, Hi-5 (ugh), Barney, etc. Two days ago, as I was lying in bed early in the morning while Tatum watched a show (I need all the extra rest I can get when the kid wakes up at 6:30 am), she proceeds to CLEARLY count to 10. Mind you, this isn't something we've really worked on because - frankly - I didn't know that it was something that she could retain at the age of 2. But lo and behold, she learned it on her own. I was a proud mamma.
Gracias, Dora!
