I literally have 7 million things to do, however, there is only 1 thing I have wanted to do for days now! I mean it is a list of things that MUST get done, make a birthday cake, pack a family of 5 for a weekend away, make cookies for my kids for the weekend, get the house in semi-order, put my laundry in the dryer, TAKE A SHOWER!
I saw this awesome idea on pinterest the other day, and have been dying to make it ever since.
So...
I called my WONDERFUL father-in-law and asked for some butcher paper, or whatever you want to call it, and got to work as soon as I got the baby down for her morning kitty-cat-nap.
It was super easy to draw out the frames, and pretty fun, I mean who doesn't want a wall of oddly shaped picture frames in their house, let alone make them whatever shapes your heart desires?! I am so excited for Maddy to get home from school and get to work on it.
Pics to follow!

Just like her father
This little girl is just like her father...NOT EASILY AMUSED!
She makes me jump through hoops before she will crack a smile!
She looks at all of us like we are crazy!
However when she does, it is GORGEOUS!

Birth Announcements
The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry

No matter how carefully a project is planned, something may stillgo wrong with it.
The saying is adapted from a line in “To aMouse,” by Robert Burns:
“The best laid schemes o' mice an' men/ Gang aft a-gley.”

I really did have plans to get birth announcements sent out for her, I mean who wouldn't want to brag about:
1. such a beautiful baby
2. such an amazing aunt that took her pictures

The princess and the pea
The joke is most 3rd children get the short end of the stick, right? The mother has so much going on that this baby gets her bottle propped up, if the binky falls on the ground it is ok, we let them cry it out!
Sooooo not the case with this little peanut. I really don't remember giving my other kids as much royal treatment as I give her.

- I hear a little whimper and I go running (most of the time)
- I snuggle on the couch all night with her, instead of putting her to bed
- I have let her come into bed with Matt and I on several occasions, Neither of the other 2 EVER EVER got to do that!
- I only put her in comfy little clothes, because who wants to wear jeans all day (I had so many pairs of jeans and dresses for Maddy)
- I have had a tendency to let HER plan out my days and nights
- I have still yet to go out for longer than 45 minutes without her, and am not looking forward to when I have to!
- I make her a thrown out of her bouncy seat and blankets to sleep in at night!

Someone has a new trick!
The pictures turned out bad, because I was in such a hurry to capture the moment!!
This smile lights up my day, and my nights for that matter!

Happy 1st month in this crazy family Vivienne!
We love you more than you will ever know.
- You are simply adorable, I can't stop kissing you, or rubbing my lips on your little "salmon patch"
- You make some crazy faces, almost like you know when we are laughing at you or talking about you.
- You are definately our cuddler, I never had one of those, so THANK YOU!!
- Thank you for finally going back to sleep after you eat in the middle of the night, those 2 am dance parties were killing me!
