Floppy Pigtails

We've discovered a new hairdo, and I can't stand the cuteness.






We had another nice day yesterday and took a long walk yesterday morning. It's so nice to have Brian home for spring break. The kids played outside quite a bit and Camden got to shoot his B.B. gun with Brian (don't worry - I kept Rory on the other side of the house). I also managed to get 6 loads of laundry washed, dried, folded, and put away.

Unfortunately, Brian has to spend one of his spring break days going to a science conference (at the request of his principal) so we're on our own today. It's chilly and rainy so we'll probably take it easy.

Random bits:

• During a commercial break on American Idol last night, I flipped to 17 and Counting, which is a show on TLC about the Duggar family. You know, the family with 17 kids and she's pregnant with the 18th. They were in a baby store and the mother oohed and aaahed over the hooded towels like they were a new invention. Seriously. The woman has EIGHTEEN children and doesn't have any leftover hooded towels?

• This whole daylight savings time isn't working out quite the way I thought. Not only does Rory lay awake for nearly 2 hours every night playing, she isn't sleeping in like I thought she would. Which means, of course, that she yawns her way through the daytime and I have to wake her up from her afternoon nap so she doesn't sleep through supper, and she does not wake up a happy camper.

• I'm feeling bad about the number of pictures I post of Rory versus Camden. But you can only take so many pictures of a 5 year old digging holes in the yard - and that's how he spends most of the day! Plus, his hairstyle doesn't change.
  

• I've been trying to teach Rory my name. It's apparently working since she spent yesterday calling me "Missa Mommy" (as in Melissa Mommy).
  

• Camden is embracing the south these days. He'll say "yes, maam; I sure will, maam" in an extreme Southern accent.
  

• If you're a scrapper, you should definitely check out Scrapbookpictures.com. They're having a sale - a big enough sale that as of yesterday, I'm now up to date on printing my scrapbook pages.
  

• I need to stay away from all stores that might carry little girl clothing. It's all so stinkin' cute and I can't seem to resist buying them for Rory. If you'd like to shop, however, email me at camdensmommy @ gmail dot com and I can send you a printable Gap 30% off coupon good for 3/12-3/16.
