A few things

I'm taking a break from making korker ribbon hair bows, and chocolate truffles to bring you this post about...

nothing.

Today, I told Mallary she couldn't take her bear out of her crib, and she asked, "Why?" That's a new one.

Also, today I heard Mallary dumping out all the toy baskets in Trevan's room, I opened the door and said, "Stop dumping out the baskets, we don't do that." She looked at me, looked sorry, and said, "Otay," and actually stopped! I think I stopped breathing for a second. What??? I smiled really big and gave her great big, "thank you, and good job." Maybe she's turning over a new leaf?

Two days ago, I finally planted some irises that I have had, transplanted two plants, and bought a Japanese Holly Sky Pencil bush and planted it (I'd been wanting one for a certain spot and finally got one!!). It was too dark by the time I finished and I didn't get a chance to water any of it. Lucky for me it's been raining ever since! Perfect timing.

I've decided I'm going to make a tee shirt that says on it, "Yes, I do have my hands full." I've gone shopping every day this week for one thing or another, and almost every check out person or just someone walking by says to me, "Looks like you have your hands full... You sure have your hands full..." One check out lady said it, and then when I stepped away from paying she saw I was pregnant and said, "and soon, you'll really have your hands full." I always give my courtesy laugh, or if my kids were crazy in the store I probably give a sigh and a curt smile.

Trevan got his five year old shots on Monday and as he screamed, Mallary laughed. Either she was trying to provide comic relief, or she likes laughing at people's pain...

My kids were just playing quietly in their room and now it's not so quiet, so I guess my time here is up.
