I don't want to discredit my baby girl by making Presley sound so wonderful. Piper is 3 and is a complete mess most days, her hair is shaggy, her face is dirty and pants are too short. Oh well.
She can't just play, she isn't interested in anything (which should make Christmas shopping super easy **insert sarcasm**). She loves the Ipad and her pacifer. We have cut the pacifer down to only during bedtime, but she will go lay in her bed just to have her paci! Are you kidding me?
She likes to do everything on her own, even if she shouldn't.....she'll go upstairs and get a Popsicle and scissors out and come downstairs b/c she wants them! We've changed where we put the scissors so she couldn't find them and still, she manages to find a pair! HA!
She did get in trouble at daycare the other day b/c she refused to help pick up!
However, she is the sweetest thing ever! If I sneeze, she'll say 'bless you mommy' and I will thank her and she will say 'your welcome'....melts my heart.
She told me she liked my butterfly ring and I said thank you and again she said 'your welcome'.
If Presley is crying, she'll ask what is wrong.
If I say ouch to something, she'll ask if I'm ok.
When I drop her off in the mornings, she'll sit there with her breakfast, give me a hug and kiss and then wave to me thru the window and blow me kisses.
Out of the blue she'll say 'I love my daddy so much!'
If I tell her she has an attitude she looks at me and says "I not an attitude, I'm a Piper!"
She is so sweet and gives some of the best hugs ever. We love you Piper, never stop being sweet or funny!

Pumpkin fun
Tuesday was the only night we had to carve our pumpkins! Presley was more than excited, she loves reaching in and grabbed the insides....amazes me! So girly is some aspects and so NOT in others.
Piper was less than thrilled.
Eventually she got slightly into it. She would get stuff on her hands and then want to wash them.
Then the drill came out, this is the easiest way for Presley to 'carve' a pumpkin without the use of knives.
It was bath night and they were slimy and covered in pumpkin. I got some cheeses from my baby.
Our finished products (Piper only wanted small baby pumpkins for hers, so be it!)

6.5
So far 6 and a half is my favorite age. I know I went on about Presley in a previous post but I need to do it again b/c who knows how long it will last!
Over the last 5 days we have had a lot of time with just us 3 girls and she is just so easy. She is helpful, basically fully self-sufficient, nice, sweet, funny, so smart and just beautiful. She knows when I mean business, she listens and will follow directions, and I think she totally understands why I lose my cool when she watches Piper get in trouble over and over again! :)
She'll come home and do her homework by herself, without us having to remind her. She'll eat a good dinner and clear her dishes (most of the time). Piper jacks around and doesn't eat anything until an hour later when she wants a 'treat'.
She loves to help with Piper (sometimes too much), she'll offer to help get her dressed or get her breakfast. She'll try to convince Piper to do things faster when she knows I'm in a rush. Piper on the other hand will just go slower knowing that we are trying to hurry.
Don't get me wrong, she had her moments when she is tried or cranky or Piper won't leave her alone, but even then she has been easier to calm down than she used to be. I'll just bottle her up and keep her like this forever! :)

Night Eyes
Since we spent most of Saturday inside, I wanted to do something with them today to get out of the house. We decided we would have a trial run with the Halloween costumes and hit up Night Eyes at the zoo. We normally don't look to take them to things like this but Piper has never been so I thought it would be something different.
Presley decided last November 1st and she was going to be a black cat for this Halloween, so both of them are going to be cats and each costume cost $3.99! Score!
The girls before the make-up came out!
Little noses and whiskers were painted on our cute cats!
We picked up Boston and Grandma on our way and headed to the zoo! Adorable!
Cowboy Boston didn't like to pose but he was willing to stand next to the frog!
Oh my sweet girl!
Our hot mess cleaned up pretty good for a cat! :) The make-up didn't get too smeared or rubbed off from her snotty nose! :) But she does insist on eating every piece of candy the second she recieves it, which means she never actually finishes one piece!
We got home a little after 3 and the weather was so nice! Steve was able to get some yard stuff done around the patio and shed while we were gone so when we got home he took the girls outside with him while I did more cleaning (yes more, b/c the house only stays clean for about 5 seconds).
Daddy put on some Taylor Swift on and sat back and watched the girls dance and Presley do a million cartwheels out there! I'm so proud of the work Steve did on this, he had been talking about and planning this for over a year (and only took 5 months off and on to complete) and it turned out great and just the way he had wanted! Now we just need our patio furniture with the firepit out there and more nice weather to enjoy it this year! :)
Hacking Piper
All week Piper hasn't been normal, getting up in the middle of the night, coughing like crazy, snotty nose. We thought it was a cold or allergies. We gave her Benedryl at night and hoped for the best, but night after night she ended up in our bed and one of us moved to the couch.
Tuesday night I had my annual pumpkin beer night with some girls and Wednesday P had gynmastics and Piper and I went to El Mariachi with mom....you know, to keep mom busy with dad still being gone! :) I don't think Presley, daddy or Piper was feeling good this night.....then came Friday morning we figured we better take her to the doctor before the weekend in case something was wrong. Steve picked up her from daycare about 11:30 and went to the walk-in clinic.....sure enough she had a fever of 101 and a double ear infection.
So thankfully we were able to take her to my mom's for the afternoon so Steve could go back to work!
That night Steve went out so it was a girls night in! Piper coughing so hard that she made herself throw up twice! I just hate it! I feel so helpless b/c I know coughs are hard to prevent. Facebook seemed to support Vicks on her feet, so we did that plus her ear infection meds and Tylenol. She went to sleep pretty good and then Presley and I made popcorn and watched Maleficent....it was pretty good!
Saturday Steve was able to get the patio poured for the shed! We've been waiting for a free weekend that his concrete buddies could help him and that the weather cooperated! So it is done! Besides the staining if we get another free weekend and some sod/landscaping stuff that will be done next year!
The girls and I hung out most of the day. Since I was gone all last weekend, there was so much cleaning and laundry that needed to be done! I got alot done (and if you came in my house right now, you probably couldn't tell), so much laundry, organizing, cleaning, picking up, dusting (which 24 hours later everything is dusty again anyways!). Presley kept busy playing and writing stories and drawing. Piper played on the ipad, watched parts of movies, and caused trouble. Overall a good, productive day!

Negativity
I think I need some time away from Facebook.
I just can't handle all the negativity on there these days.
Everyone is so critical.
Everyone complains all the time about everything.
Very few people seem happy with anything.
I was going to go into detail about some of these things, but I don't want to give more time to that crap than I should.
Don't get me wrong, I know I have complained on there. I usually try to make it light-hearted and not all 'FML' like many other people do. But the amount of times I want to make snotty comments, type it all out, then delete it b/c I figure it's not worth my time is getting too much.
I don't need to subject myself to that much negativity, it's not good for me, my attitude or my stress level. So I must back off and limit my exposure to the constant crap. End rant.

Piper
Just trying to remember to jot down the funny things that Piper says....
- last night we got home from work/school and she stopped at Presley's backpack and turned to Presley and said "Presley, do you have any homework tonight?"...ok thanks mom!
- she was putting on her pajama pants with no diaper on (on purpose)...and said "This is going to be crazy! This is actually going to be really crazy!"
- this morning I was trying to get dressed and talk her into getting dressed too. She saw I was going to put my bra on and said "No, I'll wait. I want to watch". Then of course she thinks it's SO funny that she saw my boobs. I told her that she'll have boobs someday too. She said "I have boobs!" and reaches down her shirt to find them! All I can do is shake my head and laugh at her!
and I love it when Presley looks at Piper after she does or says something ridiculous and then looks at me like 'what the hell is that girls problem!' HA!
