Castles & Crowns shoot

Here they are!!  These are the pictures that will be featured in the Spring 2012 catalog!

My Girls are in Print!

So its official!  Both Mills & Giulianna will be featured in the Spring 2012 catalog for the children's clothing line Castles & Crowns out of Mobile, Alabama.  I'm so proud I could just bust!  Mills got a full page on the inside back cover and Giulianna got two shots, one group shot and one close up 3/4 page!  So exciting to have had this opportunity!  When I figure out how to post it, I will...  I have to convert a .pdf to a .jpg and well, lets be honest, that might take a minute!

We are the Champions.... my friends!!!!

Wow!  What an exciting night!  Alabama wins the 2011 BCS National Championship in a defensive battle with LSU!  Giulianna had a game prediction of 100-33 Alabama... and although she wasn't quit on target, it was indeed a beat down, 21-0 shut out over the Tigers!!   Roll TIDE to all the BAMA Nation!!  #14 in the History books!!

How fun are these??  

ROLL TIDE!!!

Yep!  This makes my heart happy.  I think its the SEC football running through my veins!

Where is the love??

Today was a great lazy Saturday for me..  The girls were outside all morning long with their Daddy playing in the yard while he worked on his masterpiece.  (The never ending backyard  redo)...  So I got to shower/ dress/ drink a cup of coffee...  in PEACE.  Ahhh...  At lunchtime Mills comes running into the house and meets me in the hall.  I pick her up and am greeted with a head-butt right to the nose!  When I told her that she hurt Mommy, she looks at me with sad eyes and says "I just want to love you" in her sweet little manipulative voice. Completely devoid of any sincerity.  Where did she learn this???

Squinkie Found

So Giulianna has found the squinkie!!  After worrying about her swallowing the squinkie for two days, she found it on her bedroom floor!!  The funny thing is, that she still is unsure if she actually swallowed a different one or if she didn't.  I'm super excited that we didn't have to take a trip to the Emergency Room for a blocked passageway in her digestion system as I was envisioning for two days... Crisis Diverted.

The trouble with squinkies

So Giulianna, my sweet child that puts EVERY THING in her mouth, has now swallowed one of her new squinkies.  Squinkies, in case you are wondering, are tiny little soft rubbery collectibles, in this case, hello kitty figures, that children love to trade and tote around for no reason at all.  Collecting squinkies is the new thing.  The trouble is, that Giulianna and squinkies probably should have never mixed.  The temptation to eat one was just too much for her it seems and now I am stuck with the quandry of whether or not to call the pediatrician or just ride it out until it shows up elseware....
