Craziness

Number of days last week we did not have a working fridge: 4

Number of days hubby was out of town: 5

Number of extra days I had to work last week: 3

Number of times I have layed Eva down for her morning nap to no avail today: 5

Number of times Ella has asked me for a drink today: 545

Number of loads of laundry I’ve done today so far: 3, 3 more to go

Yep, that about sums it up.

And there’s a tooth

I swear since Eva hit six months she’s been on the fast track with milestones. She started eating solids then, started sleeping through the night, then at seven months started crawling, and right away started pulling herself to a stand, and now … there’s finally a tooth poking through! Yay! It will be great when both of them can eat regular food.

And Ella is growing in leaps and bounds too. I actually bought her pajamas in size 5 yesterday. Oh my goodness. And she insisted on pulling Eva in her wagon yesterday home from the park. It was kinda nice for me.

Curtains Part II

Along with the drapes in the living room, I also had some roman shades made for some of our downstairs windows. And I love them. They’re colorful and fun and have lots of personality. And they look great with the other curtains.

I never realized how relaxing it is to close up the windows and shut out the bright sun sometimes.

Plus having someone hang them for me was worth a million dollars alone.

Trip to the zoo

Wow, being gone a few nights last week really made work at home pile up. Literally. Tons of laundry and putting stuff away and cleaning … Anyway, I felt so bad for being in complete work mode that I took the girls to the zoo for some fun.

And they were so good. Ella was so happy to ride on the carousel and train. And Eva is just happy riding in anything taking in all the sights.
