Night Owls

Dahlia has not been sleeping well. 

She goes through spurts, when she does awesome at night, sleeping for about 4-5 hours at a time, waking up once to eat, then sleeping the rest of the night.  lately, the only way she will sleep is if she falls asleep nursing, and then i keep on holding her.  the second i go to put her down she's wide eyed and awake, and ready to either play or scream her little heart out (sometimes she can't decide, so she switches back and forth between smiles and cries... its actually pretty funny.  or, it would be, if i wasn't a complete zombie at that point).
total hours of sleep:  4. 
two nights in a row.

so now, this is how we are spending our day.

(hey, ty, can i borrow your shirt??? thanks!)

but hey, i did my hair and even put on some makeup today.  woot!  am i going anywhere?  no.  but it is date night. 

i love date night. 

even when we don't go anywhere.

it's still date night =) 

ski ball

have you ever played ski ball?  well let me tell you, i totally rock at ski ball.  um, ok, not really.  i'm happy if i get the ball in a ring at all! we went with our friends tyler & barbara way back when, in the good old idaho days. 

they also got me that icarly nighty i'm working in the last post. 

h.o.t.

i love how excited tyson got about his tickets!

p.s!  the babe weighs 12 pounds now. 

12 POUNDS!!!  that's almost double her birth weight! 

double baby!

so intense...

Have You Heard?

that one day i am going to be a rich, famous children's book author?  no?  you haven't???  well, i plan on using this little ditty to get me there.  it's a gem, no?  PS - it looks long and intimidating, but i promise it's not!  it will take you about 3 minutes to read it!  3 minutes of pure awesomeness.  in cheesy rhyming form =) 

and now for a picture that has absolutely nothing to do with anything...

ta da!
