Sequins & Studs

We don't know how the rest of you moms do it. Bringing your kids together for a giant, or little, playdate, and end up conversing with each other while the kids nicely play. Caitlyn and I gave it a go today so we could work on some blog things, and you wouldn't believe the amount of fighting that went on between K and S. We swear we raise them in calm, loving homes, but somehow they pick up on hitting, pushing, yelling and the like from somewhere and use it on each other. What is your secret!?

It even got so bad that Caitlyn had to whisk S away from the house earlier than planned and head home. Something about Thomas the Train, and not wanting to share with K. Kids... Or is it boys... ?

Sequins & Polka Dots

While we surely didn't intend on taking pictures with the sun so low, they turned out so cool with the sun shining off my sequined tank. Meagan is a whiz behind the camera!

This is an outfit I wore to church on Sunday, but would definitely wear it again to a holiday party or special event. 

Speaking of church, yesterday's was a solo event. Since my husband was home sick, I came home after choir practice to pick up my two year old son, then head back. What should've been a morning of Sunday prep complete with bow tie tying, belt fastening, backpack readying, and the like, turned into a screeching, thrashing toddler refusing to get dressed, then me dropping S on his bed and storming out to attend church alone. I'm childish like that. But so is he. These tantrums have got to stop! From both of us...
