Happy Pi Day!

We have some friends that have an annual party this day in honor of 3.14......... that's all I know. As part of that party, the guests are invited to bring a pie. This is my little contribution:

It's one of my favorites- Imitation Black Bottom Pie (The real one apparently has liquor in it... silly worldly people)

Happy Pi Day Everyone!

Stubborn

Lately, Carissa has been sitting up in bed as soon as I put her down, despite usually being very tired when I do. Maybe it's the newfound ab strength. Maybe she just is fighting the fact that she's tired. Whatever the reason, she keeps falling asleep...not lying down. This is her nap yesterday. I put her down, closed the door, and came back 5 minutes later to see this:

So being the kind mom that I am (so as not to have her wake up 10 minutes later, crying), I gently picked her up, laid her down on her back, and left. Then about 45 minutes later, I heard her stirring. I peek in and see her sitting up, rubbing her eyes, but essentially, still tired. I sneak away, and come back 5 minutes later to what I thought would be an awake baby.

 Nope.

 It was this:

So I repeated the above and let her sleep some more. 

That's how she fell asleep tonight too. 

I'd personally want to fall asleep laying down, but what can ya do?

Surviving

Yeah, so I haven't posted much lately being that I'm running around, trying to get everything ready to go by the 20th of this month when we officially move. But I have one week to get everything ready to ship, then work on finishing details for Carissa's early birthday party and then a going away party later that same week...while the little ones are oblivious and like to trash the house as fast as I clean it. I did sell our Jeep today, which is one more thing off my plate. So if you don't see any new postings for a couple of weeks, don't worry. I'm surviving. Hopefully.
And to not make this a completely boring post, here are some photos of why boredom and myself do not mix:

And Carissa's new friend: the baby in the mirror!
