We’ve had a rough day…Hunter is sick and Hallie was hard. Lack of sleep combined with her strong willed personality is not a good combination. We had the starburst incident this morning which was more funny than not, but that was just the beginning of a chain of events causing meltdown after magnificent meltdown. Even going to swim lessons we had a meltdown and she loves swim lessons. So by the time we got home this evening at 7:30, it felt as though it was hours passed her bedtime. So we battled the strong will and fought to get her to bed, kicking and screaming the whole time. By this point I was exhausted. Frustrated. Angry. And was done for the day. I watched the bachelor and folded laundry, and then distributed the laundry to the appropriate rooms. When I went to our room to put clothes away, I found a single red starburst on both Steve’s nightstand as well as my own. (Hallie has to have a treat/money sitting on her dresser when she takes a nap and goes to bed.) Immediately the day wasn’t so bad. The meltdowns weren’t a big deal. I just smiled. What I loved was the fact that in the midst of her exhausting day she managed to leave a treat for me. Granted, it was one of the treats she denied taking earlier- but she still left one for me. Which makes today not so bad.
you are a great mama. One I want to emulate in so many ways. I saw Kaitlyn with Tyson at his sister's farewell. They are a cute couple. Where did you buy your cupcake cake pan? Grayson's first birthday is next week and I thought about maybe doing that…or a tractor cake! (: Thanks!

Yep, moments like that make every crazy, frustrating thing totally worth it. Love that sweet little Hallie!
So precious!
That really is an adorable story.
well told. what a cute little thing. i have to understand though…what's the deal with her treat/money on her dresser? how does that work?
ps. the cute tree on your banner inspired my stocking for christmas. i tried to do it the same, but gave up and just did a simple little tree. so thanks for that. i bet you never would've known!
