I almost birthed twins

would you ever believe

this sweetie pie

wrote on our wall with permanent marker

and almost...just almost got it all over our white bed spread...

she did get a couple of dots on my ruffled pillowcase

the same ones LuLu just showed on her blog

the ones I got back in February but I thought I was going to birth another baby the moment I turned around and saw her laying on my bed with a black permanent marker
the cap off
ready to write

I almost birthed twins the panic I felt

as she looked up and smiled...

"what mama?"

Instead maybe I just had a cow

PETA don't be mad

but when I exaggerate I often reference cows...

like I'm so hungry I could eat an entire cow

or half of a cow

which is ironic because I don't eat a ton of red meat

"raise.that.marker.Hayley.high.in.the.air"

as I walked over slowly to her so she wouldn't quickly decide to think it's funny to put a mark all across my bed

it has been a looooong week and that was just the icing on the cake

so as I was closing out some things from an event for my business

she was coloring on the wall with permanent marker

and her sister's floor with a blue dry erase marker

she found our stash in our junk drawer to say the least

and thinks she it's her personal stash

to take from when she pleases

although I followed her and must admit seeing her on her tippy toes

deciphering which permanent color to pick was quite cute

just not the after effects...
of the marks all over the house

note to self...
all pens, markers will be taken out of that drawer when we are back in town

I recently confided in my mom saying

"Mom...it's like they are already ganging up on me especially when Bobby is not around"

for those that know me

running over me isn't a small feat

but her response was

"Oh you mean like you two {my sister and I} used to do to me?"

touche mom...

although sometimes we were justified...I'm just sayin'

with an added chuckle there

this week has been quite the non-stop busy week for events, emotions, preparing for a bridal shower

I think I secretly like the chaotic times where I have too much to do

because that makes me thrive a bit to have a lot on my plate

even though I'm trying to not do that

it always seems to happen

we are headed out of town this weekend

for my friend's shower

and to visit some of Bobby's family that will be in town for our hometown Fall Festival

it will be a crazy fun celebration kind of weekend

the best kind of weekend....

I may be even doing something I haven't done in ages

and I'm super nervous because I don't feel prepared

but sometimes you just need to do things without thinking, right?

makes life more fun...

I'm super excited to share on Monday I'll be doing a give-a-way...

I should have just surprised you all

but I'm not great at surprises

not.at.all

so come on back Monday as I have a sweet friend who is sponsoring one for me

right here on

Butterflies and Dragonflies
