It begins...

Hello!
I should probably share a little about myself before I start this journey of blogging. My name is Sharon, I got married in September of 2007, nine months later we found out that I was pregnant with our first daughter and then 6 months after her the second one was on the way! Yep, you guessed it! I thought I would start blogging about my adventures of daily life. My oldest is now 2 1/2 years old and my baby is 16 months. I have read many blogs written by mothers and 'my oh my' do I have my share of stories! 


What started this whole blog....
We just moved into a new home and you would think there wouldn't be much to stress about it since everything is new but something as small as sprinklers can ruin everything! So apparently no one can program a sprinkler system around here, including the gardeners who installed it. Ha! Anyways, this isn't a chance to vent about that....but that is to blame for what's next! My daughters have a routine to sit at our nook table and have a cookie before bed time and I happen to notice that our back yard is flooding. So I run to the garage to shut off the sprinklers (literally run) because Tae, my 16mo, likes to kick the table and push herself backwards. Mind you, they already had a bath and were in jammies by 7:20pm. Bed time is at 8pm and I thought I was doing so well and was counting down the minutes until my Skinny Cow dessert ;) As the girls were getting their stuffed animals and blankets and every other excuse not to go to bed I checked on the system to make sure that I had it back on for the morning flood. I was gone no longer than 7 seconds and I come in to a smell of baby powder. A very STRONG smell of baby powder. My oldest, Rhay was standing in the hallway as I noticed the powder on the floor...she took off running before I could ask her to come back and find out who was guilty. (Enter drum roll here) Tae came around the corner with WHITE hair! Tae was covered in baby powder!!! Ok, so this wouldn't be that big of a deal except for now I have to give them another bath, 4 unnecessary items of clothing are in the hamper, 2 clean diapers in the trash, and 1 whole bottle of baby powder to replace. I strip them down for bath #2 and before you know it Tae is now peeing on the bathroom floor. I throw them in the tub, clean up the pee, wash Tae's hair (powder down to her scalp), dry them, lotion them, dress them, and put them to sleep. After all that, there was just no laughter yet. I decided to share with my husband and sister via text and photos as I sat outside eating my Skinny Cow thinking I have got to blog this stuff! (Enter laughter here) :D
