when candy lip stick almost wins!

Meal times are a battle. It's not a battle so much of getting Katey to eat, as much as HOW STINKING LONG it takes her to eat.

Today at lunch I told her she could have peaches and a piece of candy if she ate her mac'n'cheese. After telling her about a thousand ten times, I finally told her that if I needed to tell her one more time, she wasn't getting any candy.

Several minutes later with not a bite taken, I informed her, "Sorry, you don't get any candy." Of course I explained to her why but the look that came to her face made me start desperately thinking of a way I could still give her the candy without completely going back on what I said. And then I realized that wasn't possible. Not only was it not possible, it wouldn't be in her best interest anyway.

And you know what? She survived. She even finished her mac'n'cheese so she could eat her peaches. And she did it all with a good attitude and not a whine or tear about not getting her candy lip stick. Now she knows she has a second chance at dinner to get her candy. We'll see how it goes!

But for now, the candy lip stick didn't win over this mama's heart!

the girlie wirlies!

So I was getting lunch for Katey and I one day. I gave Kate her's in her high chair and then went and got mine and sat down in the chair. Then I looked up and this is what I saw:

She wasn't crying or anything. She was just sitting there, falling out of her chair. Little crazy head!

Big smiles! Such a happy baby!

Julia was sucking on Jason's finger so Kate decided she wanted to too!

i love these pictures!

Julia is such a big smiler! Jason can make her smile so easy! It's so cute!



christmas tree shopping!

This was from when we went Christmas tree shopping. Katey is a little freaked out sometimes on Jason's shoulders (if he's not holding her hands) so that's why she's on top of his head, holding on for dear life! Crazy head!

Here we are in front of the perfect tree--the first one we looked at! How crazy is that?!



Katey holding on for dear life again. She'll hold onto anything, in this case, Jason's face!
Unfortunately I don't have very many pics of us decorating the tree. Me and Jas were really sick so it took us a few days to get everything decorated. Oh well!
