Last Monday Lils really wanted to sell something to earn money to buy this $10 unicorn. So, I drew a unicorn on paper, made some copies and then she colored them all different colors and sold those along with some bird feeders in our driveway! She did it all, poked the string through the paper cups, covered them in peanut butter and then rolled them in bird seed. She sold the bird feeders for 50 cents and the paper unicorns for 11 cents! She made little posters and drew pictures of birds and wrote the money amount all by herself! It was so fun to watch her work. She then taped the posters to my coffee table and I took it outside to the driveway around 3 o' clock. She sold her first unicorn to Margie, the neighbor next door. Lils was so EXCITED!!!! By 4:30, she had sold almost everything and earned $3. So we packed up shop and she put her money in a safe place. She also has chores like replacing the garbage bags around the house and scooping Wookie poop everyday. She gets a quarter a day for that! And yes, I know her outfit is horrible, but she has a mind of her own about what she wears now, nothin' I can do about it! :)
E-bomb is doing great, he's cute and mostly happy. His favorite thing to do now is to cuddle and read for hours in the love sac every day. While Rose is napping from 9:30 - 12, I'll straighten up the house and then we'll read book after book until lunch time. Those are the sweet moments I really cherish with Lil E since he is usually riding his bike or throwing things. His favorite books are the dinosaur books that used to be Dave's.
Rosie is the best baby ever! She naps from 9:30-12, and then from 2-4:30 everyday and then sleeps at night from 7-6:30. We'll give her a bottle at 6:30 and she'll hang out in her crib until 7 or 7:30! Pretty awesome! When she's awake, she's scooting on her bum from one end of the room to another... slooooowly, you'll see her playing with one thing and the next time you look, she's somewhere else, still sitting up. She sort of scoots around somehow. She is happy, sweet, and has a VERY snookie nose lately. She also eats whatever we're eating as a family, which is nice. She hated baby food- we fed her that for a few weeks, and just gave up! She eats meat like crazy! It's her favorite- she had a whole slice of tri-tip the other days, wrigglin' her wrists like crazy with excitement!
We went to Utah with Jeff last weekend! It was the best trip! We got two babysitters on Saturday (mine and my sister's kids, a handful!) and my sis and I went shopping and now I have some really cute clothes! She helped me pick out clothes I never would've chosen ('cause I always get the same lame shirts from Old Navy or Gap... but we went to Kohl's and she taught me how to look cute again!) Dave and Brian went with his bro and my cousin up in the mountains to shoot their arsenal of 14 guns between them all. We had a great time!

I remember when E used to sleep that much, I was so jealous! I can't believe how much your babies sleep! Lucky woman! Miss you tons!
I'm so glad you had a fun trip to Utah. We were wondering where you were and if you had gone inactive. :) I can't wait to see your new look. Hopefully we will see you soon.
Lil's little store is SO dang cute! That's pretty impressive. I've got a ways to go with Ashelyn-she seems to think that money comes from some magical place. Not really, but she's got the "gimmees" pretty bad. So not fun in the store.
I am so proud of Lils! She was always so creative--Parker's finally getting there. And about her clothes--you should see the outfits Allie wears these days, I cannot have any say in what she wears--it can get pretty interesting! We miss you guys so much!
Will you teach me how to shop? I can never find clothes I like (for cheap). And you always look cute!
What a cute little entrepreneur you have! that's so adorable. I was highly impressed with her wares. Seeing that picture of you and C made me smile. Sure miss you girls!
I wish I knew you were out here. I would have loved to have seen you. You and your sister are so beautiful. I miss you guys!
Whatever! You ALWAYS looked cute in NC! I miss you!!
That sign is the cutest thing I have ever seen!
