This is Why I have Gray Hair

She is such a cute and happy little girl.  But my Youngest Daughter has another side to her - she is very mischievous!


I spend a majority of the day 'gasping' and 'running'.  Gasping because she has put herself in a pretty dangerous position and running to catch her before that dangerous place becomes her reality.



I do scold her.  But how much does a 22 month old child understand?  Especially when she is so excited about her latest escapade, complete with clapping and squealing for herself.



On occasion, climbing up something is replaced with climbing into something....


She also doesn't mind a bit of dirt and grime....


She is not all tomboy-ish exuberance.  She is still a little girl that likes to dress up 'pretty'.


My Youngest Daughter doesn't stop moving much during the day.  But when she does, snuggling with her mommy and giving her Eskimo kisses are two of her favourite things to do.  And those are the things that makes all the terrors of the day melt away.  JCMT

Do you decorate for Halloween?  Up until my daughters came along, we did not.  But over the last five years, we have somehow managed to collect and have started to display Halloween odds and ends that are adding up to actual decorating status. Since we are just a few days shy of October, I thought I would start your holiday decorating juices flowing by giving you a few ideas.  Happy Halloween decorating!!!  JCMT

A Week in Review

Image
The last few weeks have been busy.  Living in the car, commuting from one appointment to the next were my reality on some days.  Blogging, getting together with friends or just having relaxing down-time just could not be found on my agenda.  Oldest Daughter was on Fall Break all of last week.  Does it make me a terrible mom by admitting that I did originally dread her being home all day?  I thought I would have to devise activities to keep her busy, plan play dates or day trips to make the time pass faster.  But to my surprise, that wasn't the case!  I very much enjoyed her week at home.  We did have play dates, we did make some short trips, we did do art activities, but because we wanted to - not because I needed to fill up the days.  My girls and I - we had fun!  I would like to share with you some of the highlights from the past week.  I was fortunate to spend one of my eve...

Control

Image
Guess who's back?  Wait - what? No. Guess again.  Yep, that's right.  Me!!  I have missed doing this blog post and communicating with y'all.  I have missed purposely tapping into this messed up brain of mine weekly.  I have missed sharing my innermost thoughts with you and receiving your feedback (even if your feedback is that my innermost thoughts are totally messed up).  I have heard from so many people over the past few months that they miss my ramblings and wish I would just get back to it already.  So, to feed a small part of my creative soul, I am resuming this blog.  Enjoy! _________________________________________________________________ Hello, my name is Twila and I have control issues. I may not attend a 12-step program, but my daily struggles with needing to control all things around me are oh-so-real.  To complete the package of me, I am also s tubborn, strong-willed,...

Summer Was......

Image
Oldest Daughter will be starting school in just a few days, so for us anyways, summer is coming to a close.  It has been an enjoyable one, full of visits with great-great aunts and uncles, trips to the circus, trips to the library, Vacation Bible School and ArtCamp, days spent with grandparents.  It has been a time of sister-bonding, sleeping late, playing with friends and watching too many cartoons.  I am sad to lose this time with Oldest Daughter but quite excited about her new adventures in First Grade.  Here are a few highlights of the girls' summer.  JCMT SUMMER WAS Bubbles     Backyard Wading Pools       Local Kids Club Fun       Swim Lessons       Visiting Bass Pro Shops       Celebrating Fathers' Day         Meeting Great-Grandparents         Me...
