365 Photos in 365 Days: Week 36

Miss Lettie has entered full-throttle into baby-lovin', so I have two tiny mamas on my hands.  We spent one morning wrapping babies up in blankets, rocking them, and then laying them down to bed. Colette would pat them as she threw blankets over them and say, "Nigh-nigh. Seep tigh." Be still my heart.

I am working on being more of a "yes" mama... which means sometimes I have to backpedal when my automatic response is often "no".  Anni was playing with friends and found a ladybug.  She asked if she could hold it, and my first response was "no".  Then I realized that that's ridiculous, because neither of them are going to hurt each other, and I should give her the opportunity to learn. Oh, the excitement!  She watched it's movement with rapt attention until it flew off.   

 

And now come the two selfies of the bunch this week.  Last Friday was our fifth anniversary, so here we have documentation that we celebrated (or at least that posed for a photo, right?)  No, but really, we celebrated.  Hopefully I'll actually post about it, because it was fabulous and included an entire night away (yes, nine whole, entire, uninterrupted hours of sleep!) 

Then came the rest of Sunday at my in-laws, where, after reuniting with my sweet girls who mostly didn't care that I was gone (except to make up for lost time in the "millll!" department), I got another nap.  I'm tired. A lot. That could be motherhood or the punk thyroid, either way, the nap was lovely.

Monday was a lovely extension of the weekend as Daniel took the day off (best husband ever, for real).

And today, well since today was our Monday, I declared it jammie day, and we made beds, washed windows, and tried to survive.
