I was shopping at Trader Joes and a young twenty something store employee stopped me, "Mam", she said, (Mam?? is she really talking to me? mam??) "where did you get your cardigan?" (now that's more like it) "LOFT" I answer. And she stares blankly--"you know, Ann Taylor's LOFT?" Still blank. So I instruct her where to find a store, and move along. So I have found my niche-my choice of caridigan color-still cool, my choice of store to purchase it at--only cool to those of us "Mams".

Fussy Pants
So this is my night. Kids were driving me crazy, wouldn't settle down for bedtime. Beck is fussy--and I don't know why, and Kizzy is being blatantly disobedient only when I'm holding or nursing Beck because she knows I won't do anything about it.
So when I finished feeding him, I laid him down--and Kizzy ran. Then I threatened the kids with no Halloween and it went something like:
"You girls are going to be so sad when all of your friends are out trick or treating, getting candy and you guys are at home because you wouldn't go to bed"
They ran--seriously--ran and leaped into their beds and haven't made a peep since.
Man I wish I had a good threat like that for every night.
So this is my reward--nothing like Blue Bunny Chocolate Bunny Tracks while balancing a newborn and attempting to blog.
p.s. I'll probably be neglecting this blog until after Christmas because I'm loaded with Photo editing to do. I'll be around every once in a while to come up for air

I made the same threat to my children, only they have to have their rooms cleaned today or they don't get to trick or treat. I totally said the same thing about being sad when all of their friends are out. Man we are 2 peas in a pod...
That sounds like every day this week for me. I am glad I am not the only one. After Halloween, the threat becomes...you will have to give me x amount of candy.
Yep....my world to....x's 2! Isn't being a mommy the BEST!?!
