FUN STUFF!

I spend alot of time lately looking for cool things online for our new kids store and it is so fun!!
Just look at some of the fun stuff I get to discover like these awesome shoes I found tonite that I LOVE! Hope we get to carry them in our store! Oh and on a funny note Finley is really excited for our new store but can't get the name right.
"Little your kid star"
"Little kid gear star"
"Little your kid is a star"
It is hilarious to hear her go through her list and laugh at herself like oh man that wasn't right either! HA!

Still here...Cason is doing better, we are barely getting any sleep though and man that overflows into so many areas of your life! Someday I will get sleep again and remember what it feels like to function in a somewhat normal fashion but today is not that day. Lord, please let it be soon though...my brain hurts!
On a brighter note...I had such a special night with Finley...she has been needing some extra attention with all this sick brother attention lately and Cason was napping in his swing and Chris was working late and we had so much fun together! TV and phone off, full attention on her and she was thrilled about it. I am realizing that her love language is quality time, at least right now it is. She is so much fun and I am so lucky to be her mom!

Haven't had much time to do anything lately, let alone blog. Life fills heavy right now...hard to carry! I do know that this will pass and I do know that I continue to count my blessings, always knowing that things could be worse and that I AM NEVER ALONE. Thank you Jesus! There are so many moments as a mommy when you feel alone...you know that voice that says...if someone could see me now in this ______ (fill in blank) (crazy, overwhelmed, exhausted, messy, frustrating, etc.) moment! Well, He does and sometimes I have to remind myself that.
Anyway, seems like I have had a lot of those moments lately. Cason has been SOO sick, scary sick, taking ALL of my time and sleep sick! We are wading through it. He seems better tonite but has been wheezing and coughing so much that we are doing breathing treatments every 4 hours, on a steroid and also started Zantac for his Acid Reflux and Colic. Poor sweet boy just has had a rough go so far! Good thing we didn't have him first, ha! Anyway, here is a sad pic of him getting his breathing treatment...he is usually so good during them, just sits calmly like he knows it is good for him! I love him so much! His smile is amazing!

One more pic from the sweep! My sweet little shopper! Too bad those carseats are so big...I could have gotten more!

SUPERMARKET SWEEP!

This was a favorite show at our house...I remember watching with my sister Bronwyn and planning our foolproof winning run around the supermarket. Gotta go for the big bonus and the meat! Ha!
Well, anyway last week I came across a real live supermarket sweep of my own. A local Food Lion was going out of business and put EVERYTHING in the grocery store 60% OFF!!! What?!?!?
It was dangerous! I am telling you it was like crack to this little miss cheap, ahem, I mean bargain hunter. So I got there around 9ish, it was crazy and I had both kids with me...ok I know, I am the crazy one. So there I was living it up for over 2 hours and finally conceded to leave as Finley was starting to melt down. Ok, but here is where it gets really crazy. I took the kids across the street to Sonic, raised Finley's blood sugar, nursed Cason AND WENT BACK!!!!!!! I couldn't help it all I could think as I left was all the things I should have gotten. SO, after another 2 hours there I again decided to leave when I knew Fin had had it. How did I know you ask? Well, I turned around to find her with a package of marshmallows hanging from her mouth, hands out to the side and spinning in circles! Yea, time to go!
I did some serious carnage that day! My husband was horrified...good thing we have been married so long! Took many days to find places for all of it but I am happy to say it is now all away, or at least in a pile out of sight, heehee!!
