Real, real life

Have you ever heard the analogy that raising toddlers is like trying to shovel your driveway during a snowstorm?? Well that is the season that Jake and I are in and we love it. It's crazy hard and busy but it is the best thing we have ever done. We also wouldn't trade it for anything. So that's why I changed my blog. Before I changed it, I thought that I had to come up with these ridiculously fabulous posts that showed how awesome and perfect we were.  Well I hardly ever wrote because let's be real, we're awesome but we aren't perfect! So I want to share with our friends and family all of the crazy things our two beautiful girls teach us. And just want to share real life, how we survive and get through the toddler years.

To kick start it, Aliyah has been OBSESSED with putting stuff in her hair.  Almost everyday there is something new.  A few weeks ago, she found a bottle of Vick's Baby Vapor Rub (while she was supposed to be taking a nap.  And I have no idea how in the world the bottle ended up in their room in the first place.) By the time I realized that she wasn't sleeping and I could hear her, it was too late. I opened up her bedroom door and it smelled so strong of Vick's and it was COATED in her hair.  She was a grease ball for weeks because we tried all the home remedies, which didn't work, and I was too cheap to go buy fancy shampoo. Then there was diaper cream, face soap, toothpaste, corn starch, and now we are just waiting to see what she finds next.









Kailey loves it when she gets pulled into Aliyah's hair brained adventures! These two are the best of friends and really good little trouble makers! Speaking of that, I better go find them and see what they are up to! :) Have a Merry Christmas this week!
