Some Changes!

I changed my blog name! Allan helped me come up with My Sweet Chaos. I really wanted something that described our life right now and that's exactly what it is... a sweet chaos!

I think I lost all my suscribers in the process! I don't know, I didn't read a dang thing about it before I registered. I'm kinda stupid sometimes.

So if you're here right now please re-suscribe or change your link to my new address: www.mysweetchaos.com!

I'm going to have a new blog look, too. I have no time, though, so I'll have to work on it next week :)

I hope everyone's having an awesome 4th of July!

Date!

I don't have time to write much but Allan and I got a lot of time together today and last night.
Allan's parents came over and slept here and we spent the day out... shopping, movies, lunch... it was a ton of fun.

A couple snapshots

It's hard to find pictures to post these days. I take a LOT every day- I've even been taking pictures while we do school. The "problem" is my kids aren't dressed most of the time! They've been living in their undies.
It's summer in Arizona, what do you expect?! And yes we have air conditioning but my kids really like the lack of clothes. lol

I'll try to clothe my children a bit more often, though, just for the sake of blogging I suppose. The girls have started wearing their tutus all day long :)

I bought a new carrier for Payson the day before yesterday. I shrunk my moby wrap in the dryer on accident (SO SAD ABOUT THAT) and have been meaning to get a woven wrap to replace it but got this in the meantime.

I wore him all through our errands Tuesday (Sprouts, Target, WalMart) and it was an entirely different shopping experience. He leaned happily against me the entire trip without a so much as a peep. He rubbed my chest and tummy with his hands and even licked me (he gives kisses with a wide open mouth and it looks like he's licking) several times. lol
SO CUTE! I can't express enough how much of an advocate for baby wearing I am. I really wish I'd known about baby wearing with Brooklyn and Sierra!

Yesterday we made some cookies. They were so yummy!! It was really hard for me to stop eating at TWO!
The recipe is here: Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies

I "found" the girls' baby dolls in Payson's closet recently and brought them down. The girls have played with them nonstop ever since.
Payson is obsessed with the dolls. They both talk and move and Payson finds that extremely appealing. He is constantly trying to steal the doll when Brooklyn isn't looking.

Everytime he finally gets his hands on it Brooklyn notices and shrieks about not wanting him to get spit on it. (He kisses the baby and like I mentioned earlier, his kisses include lots of tongue. lol)

She tossed his stuffed lion at him to distract him.

And that's all the pictures folks.

Oh and guess what! This weekend Allan and I are getting a date! We haven't had many of those this year (to say the least) so we're majorly looking forward to it.
Do you and your spouse get dates often? If not, why not? For us it's a babysitter issue. I don't trust many people with my kids.
And while you're answering- what do you guys do on dates when you get them?
