So many randoms

I guess it would help to post more regularly so that I don't have weekly "brain dumps", huh? I feel like I need to catch up, so here is what's been going on in my world lately...

Did you notice how I skipped any and all talk about Halloween earlier this week? Well, it just wasn't in the cards for us, apparently. Grace came home from daycare completely tired and fussy and was not having it as I tried to get her all dressed up. She was supposed to be a cat...easy, peasy. We had a grey and black cheetah (or would it be leopard?) onesie, some black leggings, kitty ears, and I had grand plans of whiskers and a sweet little nose being "painted" on by yours truly. Grace wanted none of it.  As I eye-linered on my first whisker, she turned and ended up with a skinny moustache...haha...I gave up shortly after. Here's the best shot I have of us "practicing" the day before, sans costume.

Note that food is distracting her from taking off her ears. Also, does anyone else's kid go through gallons of milk like it is going out of style? I'd be sick if I drank as much as she does...

My 26th birthday was on Wednesday! Thanks for the calls, texts, and virtual cards. :) I spent the day doing my usual commute into Alexandria and then came home to some presents and dinner out with my loves. Wanna see my new pretty?

Love my Michael Kors watch from Grace and D. I couldn't get a good pic and I was too lazy to take out the big camera....surprise, surprise...it's gorgeous though, and D picked it out all by himself (with a little help from my best gal) and that makes it even more special to me.

Those cheeks kill me...

It's hard work being little. Now that Grace is walking more, she is also starting to fall asleep earlier at night, again. She had pushed her bedtime back to 8:30...almost 9 some nights, which was killing D and I. We would literally get her in bed and practically pass out ourselves. Now she's back closer to 7:30, sometimes right after 7, and it has really opened our evenings back up to do housework, get ourselves ready for the next day, and have some couple time to just catch up with each other. We'll take it!

Speaking of Miss G, she LOVES books in a major way. Her favorites change weekly, but right now, this is the winner. She has it at daycare and I am ordering a copy for home...too funny. In checking it out, I discovered it is actually part of a behavioral series that includes titles like, "Teeth Are Not for Biting" and "Hands Are Not for Hiting". Ask me how many are in my cart right now... ;)

Grace's Current Fave...ironic?

Another recent purchase? This adorable shirt via Etsy for Thanksgiving. They have little sizes for onesies and boy styles too!

To end the randomness with some more random-I'm thinking about chopping all of my hair off.Well, not all of it, but 6 or so inches. What do you think? Keep it long or go for it?

The last time I had a shorter cut was when I was pretty early into my pregnancy with G. Here's a little blast from the past.

 I don't want to go quite as short, so I'm thinking long bob, with the front slightly longer than the back...and no bangs. Every time I get them I end up putting them back and never styling them correctly...and look like I have a little kids hair cut...like this:

Thoughts? Help a sister out! :)

Hope everyone has wonderful weekends. We'll be minus daddy for most of ours...womp, womp...I'll try to be back more regularly next week!
