Phone photos...

Most of these pictures are just the random, every day stuff.  I am glad to have a camera on my phone that allows me to take a picture anywhere.  It is no secret that Madi LOVES zebra.  So, when I saw this Santa hat I had to get a pic!

Even in the cold, chilly winter Madi and Easton beg to jump on the trampoline.  They are going to be so sad when we take it down for the winter. 

I recently replaced all my makeup.  Derrick told Madi she could have my old stuff.  I threw away a lot of it but gave her the blush and a couple eye shadows.  Doesn't she look beautiful? 

The whole Elf on the Shelf is so popular this year.  I like the idea of the elf watching and reporting to Santa, but thought the elf was hideous!  Christina and I picked up a few Rosetta dolls and I made them some cute elf outfits to wear.  I think they turned out so much cuter than the one at the store and mine costs less than $10 instead of the $30 for the book and elf at the store. 

So I did really well at the no pop thing for a little over a year.  Then we had a hard week at the end of October and had little to no sleep for a few days.  That did it, I caved.  I have enjoyed my guilty pleasure so many times since and am back to craving my Mt. Dew.  The other day in particular, I really wanted one.  I thought it would be good for us to all get out and go for a short walk to the 7-11.  It was quick walk on the way there and was lightly sprinkling.  By the time we came out it was a pretty good drizzle and I totally didn't factor in the fact that poor little Easton can't walk and slurp his Slurpee at the same time.  It took us about 15 minutes to walk there and 40 to walk home!  Won't be doing that walk again until it warms up a little.  The kids sure loved it though! :D 

My sister, Annie, gave me a box of shoes that she was sending to the DI.  As soon as I set the box down, Madi pulled out these silver, sparkly shoes.  She calls them Dorothy shoes and plays with them almost every day.  She wears them all around the house and even asks to wear them when we go places.  She is in LOVE with these shoes and keeps telling me "These are mine mom, ok?"  It is so cute.  Thanks Annie for the shoes!  Of, and every girl needs to accessorize, floaties happened to be the accessory of choice this day. :D 

My little Easton boy has figured out how to take his clothes off.  I frequently find him with pants off or an arm out or shirtless.  On this particular day, he kept taking his arms out and letting his shirt hang around his waist.  This was the third time he had done it that day.  After that, I gave up.  :D 

Madi has been such a picky eater when it comes to dinner time.  She is never hungry and then as soon as it is time for bed, she is starving!  Surprised? NO!  So, we give her an apple and send her to bed.  I was laying with her and she was eating her apple while we were talking.  All of the sudden I hear heavy breathing and turn to look at her and my angel had fallen asleep mid conversation, apple in hand.  Such a precious girl!  So glad I get to be her mommy.
