I haven't blogged in awhile b/c well, we have been really sick and now the baby is cutting all 4 of her molars - so fun! The only resolution that I might have made this year was to declutter my home but looking around I am not sure that will ever happen so I boycotted resolutions in 2008! It is hard to believe that the off season is almost over for Matt, it has been really nice having him home. We do have a few little projects to get to before he technically starts the year and hope to get them done this weekend. Just yesterday I took all the ornaments off our Christmas tree but the tree remains, I would keep it up all year if I could b/c I LOVE Christmas and something about the lights on a tree makes you feel good. Each morning before going off to work Matt would turn on the lights so the girls and I came out to a sparkly tree - I love that he does that.
The decision to get Piper a camera was Matt's and we found it on clearance at Target for $25. We got the Vtech Kidizoom Digital Camera b/c of the reviews that it received. Now, this is not a camera adults might like but our 2 year old LOVES it! The camera also has games and can take short movies (we haven't taught her either b/c she is happy snapping pictures right now). Anyway, it is pretty much unbreakable and one of the best gifts we could have got her - I love seeing what she takes pictures of!
Before Christmas I won a little contest and the day after Christmas received my prize,
Straplettes. These are so pretty and useful for a new nursing mama! I put one on and just that little bit of glitter underneath what you are wearing makes you feel good. I got 3 and plan on giving away the other 2 to new moms so that they can feel how I do. Thanks Lisa, they are so well made and pretty - I was blessed to win this contest.
Lastly, I bought Violet a new diaper. I seldom ever buy new diapers but I saw this and had to have it b/c it is dip dyed in shades of purple - ah my lucky girl to get to wear this soft yummy work of art. Fussybutt has long been my favorite diaper (that I can't afford) and this is my first new one - I hate to know there will be poop in it!
Now to post this b/c it has been sitting on my computer and I have been working on it for literally 3 days!!! I am such a blogging slacker! Happy Weekend Everyone!
