Just Stuff...

Can you believe its Thursday again? I know I cant...where has this week gone? Its been a busy one around here that's for sure. The boys are gearing up to head out of town for playoff football and Jolea and I are looking forward to spending some time together, getting the house cleaned and spending some time with Grammy too.

Jolea has big news...and NO... she isn't going to be a big sister!!! Take a close look at the pictures below...can you tell a difference? Can you tell what the big news is?

Hmm....

Half of the crib is missing...

So it must be time to start thinking about a BIG GIRL BED!!!

Oh sad Day...cant you stay a baby just a little bit longer? I had to put Jolea in her bed today for timeout. She cried when I put her in there...which is typical...then she got really quiet...climbing I presume...then she hit the floor with a thud and cried again...not so typical...and then she was knocking on her own bedroom door telling me to let her out...totally not typical! So I would say we have a problem on our hands. Well as you can see my crib isn't one of those fancy-nancy cribs that turns into a big girl bed, so I had to improvise! I removed the front rails...and its seems sturdy enough...so...Voila...a make-shift big girl bed, till my pocket book can afford to get a new one! Ooh...a big girl bed means a big girl room...and that screams out PROJECT! For now this will have to do...its 11:12 PM and so far I haven't heard a peep out of her! My Sweet Girl!

I'm also going to be sharing with you some of my very FAVORITE Christmas outfits of Jolea's. I might be a little crazy about seasonal clothing...but you would never know it :) I just adore sweet little girls Christmas clothing...so as of December 1st she started wearing her "Merries!" Here are the 2 outfits she wore to school this week :)

*This one is a Dittos bargain...its Mis-Tee-V-Us...and you all know how I feel about that

I LOVE this brand to pieces...its so comfy...and so cute all at the same time!

Silly Girl!

This little top was too cute to pass up at Kohls! I am a huge fan of the mix and match brand Jumping Beans...they have the sweetest things for little girls...and very reasonably priced!

Mama's Little Reindeer

I took a trip to Hobby Lobby...and I hit the jackpot on Christmas gifts! Of course its killing me that I cant really talk about them because...some of the people who read this blog will be getting the gifts! BooHoo! While I was there I bought some cute ribbon to dress up my packages! I did manage to get a few of them wrapped, but they are looking oh-so-naked without a little bling! I will work on that part this weekend sometime :)

The semester officially closes on Tuesday evening of next week! Yiipie...Hooray...WooHoo! I cannot fathom being finished with school and having a "normal" life again? Well...I don't know about "normal" but much less stressful for sure! I'm thrilled that I will have my own classroom soon and I will be shaping the Little Minds that are in my class...Oh Happy Day! They say we should have our first Snow Day tomorrow...I cant wait!
