This and That

Last week, I got my hair chopped off... and I love it! My hair had gotten pretty long and I wasn't unhappy with it, I just needed a change. And maybe something a little easier to fix when I have two kiddos! A mommy-do, if you will.

 

We've been loving some Monopoly lately. Livy always starts out playing with us but eventually moves on to something else, so that's when the game gets serious. Sort of. Drew has this ability to win at every single thing he does. It's really not fair, but he's lucky I'm not that competitive, so it all works out. He always wins Monopoly because he always gets Boardwalk and Park Place. Lucky dog.

 

Last weekend, Pappy and Annie were taking the girls down to Shreveport to Gators and Friends to see all the animals. So Drew and I decided to go do some Christmas shopping while Livy was away. I had a blast spending the day with him. When we were dating, we used to go shopping together all the time! But we haven't done that in a long time, so it was nice. Between having a new shopping partner and never having much money to spend, we don't get to actually do too much shopping.

 

Drew had a few Visa gift cards that he had gotten through work that we've been saving to use for Christmas presents only. But somehow our Christmas shopping trip turned into a nursery shopping trip. I think we got Livy 3 Christmas presents, and spent the rest on the nursery decorations... and deer corn. Oh well! It was still a very fun day with my very hott husband!

Daddy's Girl

 

 

I think every little girl reaches the age when she figures out how to make her daddy do exactly what she wants... and Olivia has definitely figured it out! Not to take any of the credit away from her, but Drew has been wrapped around her finger since day one, so when she starts turning on the charm, he's a goner! When she tilts her head up at him, blinks those long eyelashes, and calls him Daddy, I know there's no hope for him standing his ground!

For example, the other night, she woke up in the middle of the night and crawled in our bed. I must have taken her back to her bed (it couldn't have been Drew, he lets her stay in our bed). Anyway, somehow she ended up back in her bed calling for her daddy. Drew went back there to check on her and in the most pitiful voice she said,

"Muggle with me, Daddy."

So, of course, Drew laid down with her for a little while. When he thought it was safe, he tried to sneak out but she caught him and asked for chocolate milk. (She knows I'll say no!) Drew got her a cup of milk and told her it was time to go back to sleep. He also told her that he was going back to his bed and she would have to be a big girl and sleep by herself. He was almost out the door when she said ever so sweetly,

"I like your hair cut Daddy. You're so pretty!"
 

So guess what he did? Crawled back in bed with her! I'm telling you... she's got this charm stuff figured out!

The next day while Drew was telling me about all of this, Livy chimed in and said,
"I really do like your hair cut, Daddy. And I like your eyebrows... They're so black and brown!"

Hilarious!!!
