I tend to run out of things to blog about because (wait for it) (here it is) our lives are not that exciting! Yep, there you have it. Our day to day happenings are generally pretty typical and routine. We go to school/work, come home, eat dinner, play, bathe and beds begin to call our names. Thrilling.
I decided to mix things up with a little post about what I am loving.
Item #1--Mya. This kid has quite the personality. When describing her to others, I probably make them envision a whack job kiddo. She is bossy, wild, smart, loveable, so sweet, rough and tough, funny and completely adorable. She is definitely a spit fire. We aren't 100% potty trained, but only because she likes to be in control. Oiy. Mya loves to try on everyone's shoes, clothes and jewelry. Case in point the picture below. I ordered her a leotard since she pitches a hissy fit everytime Claire has ballet and she can't go too. I put the leotard on her, she dug out the tutu and crown. The shoes were still on her feet from school and voila! Gorgeous!
Item #2--leather parson's chairs
My new chairs and of course, the model too ;)! We previously had
the same style parson's chair with beige microfiber upholstery. Life was good until our kids became mobil little creatures who had ooey gooey hands and slobber. I grew tired of cleaning them every week or two, so out they went and in came the leather. Love them--super easy to clean and a lot less stress and frustration on my end.
Item #3--Claire and my cordless vacuum.
I love Claire. She is super duper easy. She really is a good kiddo who occasionally tests the limits. Take, for example, a conversation from only moments ago-Claire--"Gosh is a bad word." Me--"No, you can say that." Claire--"Okay. Gosh is okay, but Gosh damnit is a bad word." Umm, yeah. She is smart and pretty funny. Recently she has begun to provide Mya with speech therapy. I haven't posted the video, but Claire began saying her "r's" in conversation last week. I AM SO PROUD! Anyway, I've been praising her and so she has taken it upon herself to share her knowledge with Mya. Perhaps she will follow in my footsteps. Speaking of following in my footsteps...before I forget. This morning Mya was playing with an old purse. I look over and she is shoving their fisher price camera inside the purse--"just like Momma." So sweet!
My kids drive me crazy with their fighting at times, but I know I am so blessed to have such wonderful kiddos. They are truly my life.
Onto item #3...my cordless vacuum. I got this idea from my sister, Jessica. She is anal retentive--sort of like me, I guess. When we visited her in Montana this summer, she had a little cordless vac that she pulled out after each meal. I thought it was such a great idea! No irritating cords, no dirt to sweep! Yippee! Ours arrived a few weeks ago. The kids LOVE to vacuum. The vacuum is so light that they can easily move it around and it does a good job. My Dyson is still my favorite, but as far as sanity goes--this is it. I use this everyday in between my cleaning lady visits when she pulls out the Dyson and does a thorough cleaning. Love it!

Glad the bobs were a hit. They actually sell the exact ones here in the BX. I laugh everytime I walk by. ;) Fun reminder of you.
Can't wait for the reveal. I think I should get first notice on the gender! I do afterall have the shitty situation of being a half a world away. We are excited.
I tried to call you this morning, but NO answer!
