Can't Sleep

I read something a while back that said you should turn off all electronic distractions 2 hours before bed in order to get your best sleep. I keep meaning to listen! I CAN'T SLEEP! My mind is racing with Milkweed projects. Ha! I know it's silly and pretend, but I just keep writing like it's real...like I'm Lesley Graham or Lovely Morning Kristina and I've got a couple hundred devoted followers...ha! It's the most fun...MOST MOST MOST MOST FUN!

I had this wave of guilt come over me today because I was just in a state of total complete perfect happiness. Guilt!!! Why do we do this to ourselves! I deserve total complete perfect happiness! So I'm taking it! Bringing my girls to classes, watching them play together and fight together, and laugh together. Cooking things like whole grain, flax, strawberry muffins and forcing Josh and the girls to eat them with me...ha! Writing a blog about all things I like...so so so so so perfect and complete.

Josh has been working A LOT lately...early mornings and home barely in time for the girls bedtime. That's the only un-perfect thing about this week, but I guess it's good that he's busy!

Did I mention that I 100% decluttered my kitchen today??? I did and it feels like heaven in there....perfect clean slate for new perfect things like fabric on chairs and windows, ultimate candles burning, and sunflowers in vases.

Love, love, love all around!

Here are some pics of our week....the girls at their first day of Shlenker "camp"-Liv eating a popsicle and Laine playing with some girl named Lucy in a matching bathing suit except hers was monogrammed...I hate when I don't think of these things!! ...late afternoon survival in the splash pad ...the girls making a huge mess in the kitchen because I let them play with a bag of bread crumbs, but don't worry. I channelled summer giggy and put them in the "house/cage" while I cleaned it up and then made them a new bin full of baby proof kitchen goodies. THANK GOD for those moments of "pat you on the back" parenting to make up for all of the millions of "worst parent in America" ones!

Thanks for putting up with this 100% self indulgent post. I'm aware.

Popsicles!

Popsicles = fun. It's fun to watch your puppies eat things you made and like it. We had a little impromptu pool party with the Bruno's this afternoon. It just feels good to sit around with them and do nothing. It does not feel good, however, when one of your children throws 10 fits in less than 2 hours...what are you gonna do?!?!? We are going to blame it 50/50 on being rotten and teething, because FINALLY this child has 3 teeth coming in on top and three prob means 4 because these things seem to happen in even numbers....so yayyyyyy Livy for teeth and booooooo Livy for fits! I love that cute cheek girl no matter what!

I hope everyone did something glorious this weekend! We had a grand ole time in Baton Rouge other me being bratty and throwing a few fits myself. Shiiiii....maybe we should go 33.3/33.3/33.3 for Liv. Fits= teeth/rotten/inherited...oops!
