Snack Time with Sissy

If you ask her what her name is, she'll respond with "Sissy." She's serious too. Not baby, Savannah, munchkin, or pigeon. Sissy. End of discussion. To be honest, I kind of like it. 

Today she woke up from nap before Hope. She's got a memory on her for things that she wants to remember. Like how I said that? Yeah. I told her to pick up her toys and hurry to nap so that she could have a cookie and milk for snack. Yup. She hurried all right...even hurried to wake up. Can I blame her? Well, no! The cookies were awesome in flavor and she remembered that too. Therefore we sat so humbly at the table and divided out the remaining cookies so that each of us would get one.

She so kindly informed me that this one was sissy Hopes, this was hers, and this was Momas. I called her a cookie monster and she corrected me real quick with "No, I Sissy!"

Sissy is the spitting image of me. I see my attitude and sense of humor in her eyes when she looks back at me. She plays the same way I did and pretends with the most imaginable imagination ever. She's wild and heart and tame in spirit. I could seriously eat. her. up. She'll literally go from this...to this in seconds. She's my little spit fire! 

happy things

Just like all days, there are good parts and then those that are undesirable. Today has been rough, but when I stopped and took a breath of sunshine, I saw the joy in it all. So here's what I found.... 

Big sister teaching baby girl about the foundation of building a castle. 

Little feet growing too fast.

Innocence.

Learning to make homemade goodness. Melt in my mouth yummy!!

Color trains. From here to there and everywhere. :)

A growing appetite. 

These are definitely some Happy Happy Things. I want to and need to be thankful for, enjoy, and remember all of these parts of my life. 

They're passing by way to quickly.  

Thrifting

I ventured out again. 

This time with the ladies in tow.

My intent was to drop off some of their outgrown clothes.

But I just couldn't help my curiosity.

I had to see what else might be hiding in the store waiting for me to rescue it.

So I caved.

As soon as I saw the tin box, I snatched it up like nobody's biz-ness!
Too bad Christmas is like 6 months away.

I saw the vintage sheet gleaming through a pile of miscellaneous what-nots. 

I thought of a springy curtain or some pillow covers for my bed. 

Not sure.

Can you believe this shower curtain. 

I'm know I've seen it somewhere before but I can't remember where.

Don't you hate it when that happens? 

When I saw this vanity tray and about flipped out. 

Pretty dainty am I right?

It will relocate to the girls' room once they outgrow their destructive stage.

For now it has found a home in the living room.

I know... another oval frame. 

I can't help myself... it was super CHEAP.

And the frame was already a nice color.

You can't beat that people!

Lastly, 

This little Hollie Hobbie tote

has just solved my hair storage problem.

 I'm always chasing the girls around to 

brush their hair and can never remember where the brush is the next time. 

So when I saw this, I knew right away it had to come home with us. 

Their favorite blankets have a garden girl that resembles Miss HH. 

It'll fit quite nicely in their room and make hair assembly less stressful.
