Can't Keep Up!

Needless to say since I haven't posted a picture or blog in forever! I will try to get online tonight with pics from both of the girls' birthday parties. Meantime - here is what is going on with them

Cadence:
Attitude Attitude Attitude!!! My goodness this child is full of "piss and vinegar" lately. I thought that the few fits that she had at age 2 were bad, but they are nothing compared to her current demeanor. Luckily, she doesn't show this side to many - she is the perfect angel when we are out or she is at school... in fact I think her teacher thinks she is a little saint :). Also, she hasn't had any fits out in public KNOCK ON WOOD! It is just when we are at home that when I tell her to do something she says "No, my not want to!" Oh lordy, it drives me batty. I have to use my "mom voice" all the time with her. Bless her little heart, I think that SHE thinks that she is the center of the universe and her way is the only way... guess it comes from being my only little girl for 2yrs... I am hoping that she moves on from this stage quickly. I didn't even realize it, but the other day we were riding in the car and I was listening to her sing and I realized that she had just sung the entire alphabet song by herself!!!! I had no idea that she knew it all - kinda makes me sad that she is getting so "big" so quick.

Tatum:
Can we say temper temper??? This fiesty little buggar will throw herself face-down in the floor when you tell her NO about something! And she's so dramatic about it - she just colapses into screaming like you've murdered her dog or something! Every time I tell her No about something she has a little meltdown, and I can't help it - but I laugh at her sometimes! She's just like her big sissy - thinks it's all about her :). She is still just cruising... if she would get brave and let go she could walk just fine on her own, she's just scared. She is is saying several words now... Hi, Bye, DaDa, Look, GoodGirl (to any animal she sees). And she can blow kisses - it just melts me. She follows Cadence around everywhere and loves being in the water.

It is so amazing to see how similar my girls are... I thought that they would be polar opposites, I think most sisters are... but they think just alike! And they "agg" each other on all the time. I think that Dave and I will definitely have our hands full when they are a little older - they will be little co-conspiritors... That's all I have for now - Hopefully pics will follow.

OH - and about my business - I have several things made up and am ready to launch a new website and FaceBook page with pics and info - but I CAN'T come up with a name!.!.!.!.! I have been trying for about a week and still can't seem to come up with anything solid... I'm toying with a few, but nothing has just screamed - "this is your business' name". If any of you have any thoughts please let me know! Thanks :)

Misc.

OK, so I still haven't posted the pics of Cadence's B-Day Party, but I haven't had 5 free minutes in the last few weeks... and this weekend is Tatum's party, so I don't think it'll be this week either! Bless it, sooner or later I will get some pics posted.

We went to Atlanta this past weekend to visit my mom... had an eventful weekend to say the least! Cadence and I both fell and hurt ourselves and Tatum fell off the bed, so we all came home looking like we've been beat! I did win $25 (had to split the $100 prize with others) at Bingo :). I do LOVE to play Bingo when I go to Atlanta.

On a little different note - I love to craft... always have. I used to paint nursery letters for my friends when they were having babies, but I can also paint other things. I have wanted to make things to sell for a couple of years now, so I think I am finally going to take the plunge and try out making and selling custom items. I'm going to make a hairbow holder for Tatum this week/weekend and see about starting up a seperate blog and getting some pics together. Right now I want to start with Hairbow Holders, Nursery Letters and plaques, Kid Measurers, Kids Stools and Mailboxes (yes I know that sounds strange, but I love a custom Mailbox). This is going to help Dave and I supplement our income a little while he is in school and hopefully get a small business endeavor going for me so that one day I can have my own store (a secret dream of mine that I'm now throwing out there for the whole world to know :)). Please be praying for me, and if you have any ideas on a name for my tiny business let me know! Thanks All - have a great week!
