Hair cut!

I don't know what got into me today but I thought it was time that Alli had a trim. So I sat her on the bathroom counter and started cutting. She was very good and didn't move too much. She now has bangs and the lenghth is about 1/2 inch shorter!! Thankfully she has naturally curly hair so it will hide any of my mistakes!

So I have been feeling a litle frumpy lately. I mean it is hard to feel too attractive when you are in desperate need of a haircut, have gained 20 pounds (so far) because of a pregnancy, because of that pregnancy have a serious lack of clothes, and just are too tired to bother too much with makeup and hair. Well today when I was putting my hair up in its usual ponytail bob. A looks at me and says "Your so beautiful, mommy" I was so touched. Motherhood is hard and you don't always get a thank you at the end of the day but these are the moments you cherish and will always remember. So I just felt the need to write it down before I forget because I need to remember that I am beautiful even when I have swollen ankles and stretch marks!!

Potty training!

Okay so after cleaning poop from my carpet twice yesterday I realize I need help. A hates to wear diapers anymore but she will not go near her new cute winnie the poo potty that I bought her a couple of weeks ago. I thought she would love it but I was wrong. So she does let me put diapers on her but the minute they get wet or poopy they come off. So I usually find her running around my house naked. If anyone has any suggestions to get her interested in the potty let me know!

I have been immersed in the color pink for about two years now. So to be able to shop for blue stuff has been really fun. I saw this onesie and had to get it. I have only about 3 months left so I am trying to get everything ready. We have the crib set up and A loves to get in it and read books. Which I think is funny because as a baby she hated her crib. Anyway we are also trying to narrow down names. My husband is trying to sneak in a Star Wars name which I guess being a girl I just don't understand?? I am sorry but Darth Vader is not the name I plan on calling my son. Hopefully we can come to a nice compromise.

Scrapbook fun

I was lucky enough to go play for a couple of days with my best friend. I left A with my husband and just took off. We had so much fun! It is amazing how many scrapbook pages you can get done when you don't have a two year old around. So I just wanted to show some of my favorites that I have made for my little boy. I am trying to get a lot of his pages done now so that when I have him and have no time whatsoever to scrapbook I can just stick the pictures on the already made page. I purchased a simply scrappin kit from Stampin Up and just went crazy. I love their scrappin kits because they give you everything you need like stickers, designer paper and cardstock and you just slap them on a page.

So I decided to make A a piece quilt for Christmas and here is how it turned out!! It is my first one and if you look real close you can tell but I love it so oh well. I just wanted to give A something that she can have as an heirloom from her mom. My next project is to make a little boy piece quilt. So we will see how that turns out. They are a lot of work but so worth it in the end!
