Girl day!

Today we went to Chick Fila to meet my friend Linz and her baby girl. We had a nice time. I love me some Chick Fila. I love their salads. After we left there we went to Walmart and we bought body glitter, hair glitter, nail diamonds, icing, sprinkles, makeup, and some other princessy things. We dropped Hunter off with my mother in law and came home for a girls only afternoon. It was so nice to just spend time with Caroline. I could tell she was really needing my attention. I have been a little bit distant lately with all the stress I am under right now. We made sugar cookies with my gramas cookie cutters. While they were baking we did Carolines hair just like they did at Disney at her princess makeover. We did her makeup and painted her nails with diamonds in them. t was so fun. Then we decorated our cookies. She is so sweet and made one for everyone. After that we watched a movie and ate popcorn and colored. I love to color lol. She was loving all the 1 on 1 attention so I am definitely going to do that more often. I have definitely had a hard time dividing my time between Caoline, hunter, Scotty, and my house hold chores, and my computer time. So I am reorganizing my time. If I want to blog stalk and check email I get on when Scotty leaves for work and the kids are snoozing still. I periodically check during the day still but I don't stay on. And night time is my time to do whatever. I am cleaning first thing in the morning and straightening up at bedtime. I have struggled in balancing all these roles. So I am working on that. I want my kids to know and feel that they come first above everything else. I have been praying for solutions and answers and I feel like God has sent me a message. So I am going to follow my heart right now. 
Anyway, I am going to head to bed. I am pooped.

The weekend

We had a really busy weekend. I am exhausted! Friday we spent the day with Robin and Baylee. We took the girls bowling and it was really fun. They were so cute rolling their bowling balls. They went soooo slow! But it was really cute. Baylee came home with us and the girls had a slumber party. then Saturday I assisted my friend Kate at a wedding we had been planning for awhile and I had an awesome time. I learned so much from her and I feel so grateful for her helping me like that. We are doing another one next weekend. I can't wait! Caroline had a slumber party at the Beasley house. She had a great time. I got her this morning and we came home and  cleaned up some and went to Publix. I have done a million loads of laundry. I am trying to stay on top of it. We have a really busy week. I am trying to better use my time so I planned to do a lot with the kids and do my stuff late at night or early in the mornin. SOmetimes when Scotty leaves for work I go back to sleep for an hour or so when I barely get any sleep so I am going to start doing stuff in that hour so I can spend more time with the kids. Caroline and I have't had much alone time doing stuff so tomorrow we  are having girl time and getting our nails done and going to Chucky Cheese. I am really excited to just have girl time. Well I am going to get in my warm bed and catch some  z'sssssss so I can get up early. Night!!

Long time no post!

I haven't posted in FOREVER! We went to Disney with Scotty. My mom drove down with me. We had a great time. It was definitely worth the drive. The kids loved it especially Caroline. She asks me daily when we can go back! She has started back at school. She doesn't like when i leave but when I pick her up she is fine and happy. I can't believe this is our last year at MDO and kindergarden starts next year. I can barely think about it. 
Tomorrow I am shooting at a wedding with a friend. We have been planning it for a few months now so I am really excited. Yesterday Kelly's hairdresser and I talked and i am going to do her families pictures and she is going to blow up a huge one and put it in her studio with my cards which I need to get printed. That will be awesome advertising for me! I am going to probably do the other girl that works their too. I am really excited. I am starting to get some steady business. 
We are going to meet with my friend Robin today and go bowling. I haven't done that in forever. So I  went to the Dr about the infection on my leg and i am on 2 different medicines and creams. Hopefully my leg won't fall off!! Hope everyone has a great day!

Busy busy!

Haven't posted in awhile. Its been crazy around here! WE have our floors down we just have 2 doorways to do. Every time I clean there seems to be MORE dust. Its annoying. I stayed up til 1 cleaning. I am pooped today bc I got up at 645 not to mention the oh 4 times I got up with Hunter who is old enough to be sleeping through the night and the 1 time I got up with Caroline. But I do like my little quiet times with them at night. I love snuggling up to them and smelling them. They smell like lavender and fabric softener lol. I seriously have the most snugly kids ever.
Caroline started school Tuesday. She has a great class. She was nervous for me to leave. She got teary eyed. I did too lol. This is her 4th year and I still get sad. I dread kindergarten. But she was so cute coming out after school. They do a pick up line and she had her backpack on and was smiling. It really jerked my heart! :) Its been nice to have some alone time with Hunter and some quiet around the house bc he is NAPPING!! We are going to go for a walk when he gets up. Yesterday they were wild! We had been at my in laws the night before and they got really wild there and it continued into the next day. Hunter crawled up the babygate and was standing in the middle of it. Thank goodness Caroline was there to call for me. Guess the gate is pointless. Then he stood in his high chair. We have to get a new one bc it doesnt have a seatbelt. And somehow he set the sirens off on the alarm lol. He was messing with the window and it went off. He was terrified.
We are thinking about going to Disney with Scotty next week. I think we are going to go. Its super expensive! But I really want to go and we have a chance to have a free hotel in the park bc Scotty has to go for work. So I think we are going to go. Why not!
I hope everyone has a great day! I think I am going to catch some Zsss before Hunter wakes up!
