Friday Quick Takes (44)

We had a little bit of super cute "drama" this morning when Anna's beloved GeeGee "fell" (I think he was pushed :-)) in the laundry hamper. She couldn't reach all the way in and she couldn't dump it over like she was trying to do. She said "Oh no, GeeGee, Mommy help!" She then asked me if I would help, peeeeaaaassss!  So I saved the day and fished GeeGee out. She proceeded to "huck" him tight and say "it's otay, it's otay". It was adorable and hilarious.

 I haven't posted any pictures of Anna's hair in a while.  Mostly because I haven't done anything new.  Today I tried a different one though, her hair is getting long and that gives me more options.  This one was super easy and fast!  Less than 30 minutes, she didn't even make it all the way through her Mickey Mouse episode! 

These are faux french braids or a version of piggy back braids.  They turned out cute and hopefully will stay neat for a week or so!

One of the families whose kids I took care of at the daycare I worked at (and I also baby-sat for) were getting rid of their stash of board books.  They gave them to my mom (who works there) and asked her to pass them along to us.  She wanted them used and loved as much as her kids loved them and not just stored away.

Well, my kids LOVE books and it has been a huge blessing to get a new rotation of books.  Anna could read 1,000 books a day and frankly, they get old quickly.  So we now have a whole new stash and she's loving the new material :-).  She still loves the touch and feel books, but now she loves them because she can take Anthony's hand and help him touch and feel.  She's such a great big sister and he just adores her!

Daddy dressed the kids for Mass on Sunday and declared it Sweater Vest Sunday.  Aren't they just so handsome?  I love my boys!

We're switching cable providers.  We have our phone, internet and cable bundled (and we pay less for the 3 of them than we would without cable, weird, right?).  They sent us a note that basically said if we bundled the three, we'd get $150 apple gift card.  We already bundle them, but for some reason, it didn't show that.  So anyway, we're getting $150 for phone, $150 for internet, and $150 if we switch to another cable provided.  And it's the same price per month with more channels.  No brainer.  Needless to say, I think we'll be getting an iPad in the near future.  Anna will be thrilled!

I loved Jen's post this week about being a mom in the 21st century.  Read it if you haven't!

These two are such great buddies!  They just love playing together.  Anthony gets so excited when Cecelia comes over on Tuesdays! They just lay and play all day long.
