Last days of August

This is our last week of "summer" before Avery and Emma start school again. Avery will be going a half day all week and Emma will start going two days a week for half the day. I will be using every minute to get our home back in order (just so they can tear it up when they get home I am sure) and have some much needed mommy time. I am so grateful I can stay home with my girls but every mommy needs a few hours to herself. The gym has been such a release for me lately, I feel just that one little hour makes me a better mom the rest of the day. So of course our last days of summer freedom have been filled with painting, projects and unfortunately sickness. Now that Avery is over her nasty little virus we plan on making the best of our last week.

Mommy Project 52: 4 DIRTY

Dirty is nothing uncommon in my home. We had our usually amount of kid dirt, paint, snacks trailing through the house but then Emma started moving and it looks as though we have 5 toddlers not just one. No matter how many times I clean her up throughout the day she still looks like a little disaster at the end of the day. I have given up on bibs, they are pointless. There is always mystery foods and markings on her. She also now likes to put food and toys down her shirt and mine also. I think I was trying to be a neatfreak to some point until Emma came along. I no longer organize toys, clean up every drop of juice or pick up every cheerio. I would be crawling on the floor all day long if I did. Emma is a messy dirty kid, but the cutest one I have ever seen. She is definitely a free spirited kid and we are loving every minute of it.

Oh the things Emma does

Ahhhhhhhhh

Bye bye 

Caught ya!

Emma has to do everything Avery does

I'm not about to do anything bad mommy

I'm just sitting on something i shouldn't

OH how I love these silly kids

Mommy's Project 52:3 Challenging

My original plan for this week's post was to take pictures (which I did) of different areas in my home that needed improvement. My home seems to be a unorganized disater these days and I was going to tackle one thing each day as my "challenge". That all changed after I videoed Emma this afternoon. I decided to share that challenge with you instead. This is Emma's way of asking for anything and everything she wants.....

......Enough said.

Saints game

Emma attended her first Saints game and I'm pretty sure she had a blast. Avery was so excited for her 2nd game. She had the biggest smile on her face and kept asking when we were going to the basketball, I mean football game mommy. We only made it through the first quarter, they had ran out of steam by then and were ready to see their cousins at home.
