Life

This week has been a very challenging week, from the long sleepless nights to the days full of time-outs, tantrums, crabbiness, and crying. I've had to reach down deep inside and pull out what little piece of strength I could find to make it through each day. And here I am, still in one piece, able to sneak off into the other room and write this blog. Although I have a very short fuse, and feel exhausted, I still managed to grab the camera and snap some really good shots of us. Malley was crying just moments before, and Finn has a red mark on his face from being hit by Malley's brush. However, we pulled it together.

Things I love...

I love my little's so much. I love watching them grow, watching them explore and learn, I love their own special unique personalities, I just love everything about them, and mostly I love being their mom.

Finn started saying "da da" the other day, and now he can't stop. He also has two new teeth popping through. Malley loves her school and I received my very first macaroni necklace that I'll keep forever. I'm so blessed to have such wonderful children.

Halloween treats



This year Halloween was awesome!!! Malley and Finn were dressed as skeletons for a Halloween/Birthday party during the day. Me and Adam wore 80's attire head to toe. Then we returned home and the kids changed into their outfits, Finn as a very sad bear, and Malley as SpongeBob of course. My family came over and we had food and cocktails while we waited for the darkness to set in. Then we headed out for our night of trick or treating. The neighborhood was full of people walking from house to house, like the way it was when I was a kid. We hit up the block and returned home. It was a blast. The night ended with Malley asleep on the couch and my very last trick or treater at eleven. Lights out, off to bed.
