2009 design show....



The countdown begins....This sunday the judging begins and I wait patiently to see if my competition floral piece has won or lost! I'm hoping to place in the top 3, but we shall see. I don't even know what the prize is...that doesn't really matter! Wish me luck!

i'm sad and excited all at once.....

In one month Peyton will be 5 years old...and that means 6 months from now he starts kindergarten! That's insane!!! I remember the day I found out I was pregnant. It was a strange day to begin with because I had just found out that a friend was pregnant too and I wasn't even thinking about the fact I was as well!! I feel as though I date myself when I say 'how time flies!'
Peyton had his first day at preschool yesterday...and for those of you that are thinking..."what!" you've waited this long...well if you knew me you would know I procrastinate! It's horrible! I've got him in and that is what is important to me! He had a great first day! He was shy to begin with....which was expected! The teacher said he did a great job! I'm so proud of him...he's such a little man! He tells me all the time that he is here to protect and watch over me! He's so sweet!
Olivia..such a little lady. She had her first day at preschool today! It didn't go as well! She is stuck to me at the hip! I can't go anywhere without her..most days! Its a struggle that I am annoyed with and love all at the same time! She's my baby...I have a hard time 'laying down the law' with her!
Today in the truck on the way to school we had a conversations..as follows....

OLIVIA: "I'm going to school today.."
ME: "Yes you are....Are you excited?"
OLIVIA: "yeeeeesss!!"
ME: "I'm so exited for you, mommy is so happy!"
OLIVIA: "I won't cry mommy, you don't cry for me either!"
ME: "I won't cry if you don't cry"
OLIVIA: "I'll be ok, I won't cry, I'm a big girl! I don't need my blanket cause I'm cute and beautiful! You don't cry, I will be back to take care of you!"
ME: *crying*

I cried. Taking her to school. I couldn't hold it in. She asked why I was crying. I told her I was happy and sad cause she's getting so big and growing up so fast!
I miss those days with a little baby!
