I really do believe that Monday's should be considered part of the weekend. I of course over slept this morning which just threw me into full Monday mode that I never seemed to recover from.
I just put Brylie to bed and quickly remembered why life is so much easier when I just let her sleep in bed with Mommy and Daddy. She insisted that the only way she would sleep in her own bed was if Bella slept with her. So I carried them both to her bed and wouldn't you know Bella jumped into Katy's bed. Oh Lord, let the drama begin! Katy began to giggle a half a sleep giggle then wrapped her arms around Bella as tight as she could. As soon as Brylie let out a whoa is me wail Katy hid Bella underneath her covers. I finally had to take Bella out of the bedroom and tuck my now wide awake little girls back into bed. In fact right this very moment I hear the sound of little voices. Oh well, at least I can say Brylie is in her own bed....for now.
Brylie and I had a fun night of making her very first gingerbread house and a Christmas tshirt. She was so detail oriented when it came to her gingerbread house. She's going to be just like her Mama. :) She insisted that each piece of candy was perfectly placed. I'm going to attempt to make Katy's Christmas shirt tomorrow. For some reason trying to make painted handprints with a 21 month old doesn't scream "good idea". I figure it's worth a try!
Tomorrow is Brylie's Christmas performance at school. She told me that she was going to act silly for the camera. I hope she at least sings and doesn't try to take out anyone around her if they get in her space. She already told me that she doesn't want anyone smushing her.
Friday we will celebrate Christmas with Nana, Grandma, and Grandpa. I told Brylie this and she immediately asked if she was on the "nice" list. Funny that she had to ask to make sure. Saturday we will head to celebrate with Mimi and Papa. I'm just glad that they will first open their new portable DVD players from Nana. It will make the 10 hours (5 there, 5 back) we will be in the car go by much faster!
Well I guess I can finally go to bed, I don't hear anymore restless children. Looks like Bella will be sleeping with me...

Lazy Day
Today was a much needed "lazy day". The girls have been sick all week and now of course Mommy has come down with it. Katy got to go shopping today with Aunt Ammie while Brylie and Mommy took a 4 hour nap. It's amazing how wore out you get when you are sick. I think a tornado could have come roaring through and neither of us would have even flinched.
I took the girls to go see Santa last weekend. I was so excited that neither of them got scared this year. After Brylie told Santa how good she had been he decided to drop by that night and bring her an early Christmas surprise ;). Brylie was so excited to find everything she needed to get a new kitty. Santa even left her a map showing her exactly where to pick her up at. We went after school to pick up the newest member of family. Brylie named her new kitty Bella after her Bella, Bella, Dancerella movie. You have no idea how hard it was to find a kitten that matched Brylie's criteria. She insisted it had to be all white and of course a girl. Once we finally found one, I didn't want to lose out on getting it which is why Santa delivered early. I will post the pictures of Brylie and Bella tomorrow.

Back to Work Tomorrow
Why do the weekends have to be so short? Just when I get the hang of lounging around and being lazy, it's time for another week of work. We had a very nice weekend though. Mimi came to visit and we took her to see the house in Azle that we want. Brylie and Katy already miss her though. :)
Not much interesting has happened since the last time I wrote. I did walk into the bathroom today just as Katy tried flushing her Elmo doll down the toilet. I turned my back long enough to put poor Elmo in the laundry and she was trying to flush my hair brush. Apparently she has found a new hobby.
Well, I guess it's time to start the Sunday night routine. Katy is already in bed, but I need to get Brylie off to slumber land as well. Then I have to fold laundry, repack the diaper bag and Brylie's backpack for the week, do the dishes, pick out tomorrows outfits, make Brylie's lunch for tomorrow, and finally take my bath and go to bed. Awww the joys of being a mommy! I love my life!

Katy's 1st Hair Cut
Well today Katy got her first hair cut! She was so good about it. She sat real still and pointed out the puppies on her cape. It was so cute. Now her hair is all one length and cut in a cute little bob.
Brylie was awful once again at school today. Last night she told us that she loves to be bad at school because her Daddy was always bad when he went to school. She's such a mess! She is always so proud when she is bad too. Yesterday when Mitchell picked her up from school she walked out and said, "I was bad today so when I get home I'm sitting on my bed." I don't know what we are going to do when she gets into Kindergarten next year. I'm going to be that parent that is always called up to the principals office.

Meet the Brown's
It's the end of the day, the girls are sound to sleep, Mitchell's working late, and I'm bored! I've decided to jump on the band wagon and leap into the life of blogging. I figure that while at the same time I can bore you with the never boring to me details of our lives, I can also provide myself with some entertainment. So where to start? I guess at the beginning...
For those who don't know, Mitchell and I have been married now for almost 5 years. We have 2 of the most beautiful girls in the world; Brylie (4) and Kaytlyn (18mo). While they are both adorable, they are far from anything alike.
If I could describe Brylie in one word it would be "Mitchell". She is her Daddy's girl! She has his ability to be outgoing, his passion to be noticed, and his unintentional habit of being easily distracted. She lives in her own little fairytale and has an answer for everything. She is strong willed and driven by perfection. She is 100% all girl. She already gives me grief about her clothes, hair, and makeup (lip gloss). I definitely have my hands full with her but I love it.
Kaytlyn on the other hand is my little lover. She loves to cuddle and be held. The cuddling is fantastic but the girl is attached to my hip! Right now her only craze is Elmo. She loves Elmo! I think that she is going to take more after her Mommy. She is already showing signs of my OCD tendencies. And boy can that girl throw a tantrum when she doesn't get her way! (Yes, just like Mommy).
As for myself I too sometimes live in a fairytale. I dream of things with such passion that I don't give up until I conquer what it is I'm seeking. I love my girls and want nothing but the best for them. I wish so much that I could give them far more then I can. I want for them to be 100% happy and have everything they could possible need and want.
Outside of my enormous imagination I'm pretty much a boring person. At least that's what Mitchell will let you think :). I am absolutely content sitting at home all day everyday cuddled up on the couch or enjoying the girls company. Unless I'm going shopping I feel no need to leave the house. I don't like going out to bars or party's or anything of that nature. In fact if I am unwillingly forced to attend such an event I am the official party pooper. I don't drink (gag me) and I'm usually ready for bed and begging to go home by 10:30. Certainly not the life of the party that Mitchell is. I guess you can say that if opposites do attract then Mitchell and I are a living example! We couldn't be more opposite then if we were oil and water. (Ok that's a really corny analogy but it fits). Back to myself, I enjoy also enjoy anything that requires me to be creative. I love crafts! My new hobby is cake making and I really enjoy it. I'm even getting pretty darn good at it if I do say so myself. My guilty pleasures definitely would have to be facebook, corny girly movies, and of course the inevitable....Hobby Lobby. I sometimes think that my passion for Hobby Lobby is close to being considered a medical condition. I can spend hours in that store just dreaming. I don't even have to buy anything to have a good time in there. It's sad when I can go in there on a Monday and by Friday the employees tell me they haven't seen me in a while lol.
Well I guess that only leaves one family member...the one and only Mitchell. I already told you he's the complete opposite of myself so that should give you a great idea on the things he enjoys right? He is still working at Jason's Deli in Grapevine, and as far as hobbies they would have to be going out, sleeping, and watching movies. He is by far the night owl in the family.
We are currently spending our time preparing to hopefully move very soon. I am becoming so anxious and impatient that I just might loose my mind. I want so much to move into a great family home that can provide a great deal of potential for the girls. Brylie will be starting Kindergarten next year and I absolutely refuse to let her go to Alvarado schools. We have pretty much decided that we are going open new doors and move to Azle. It would mean that a lot of changes would have to take place with my work and dance and everything, but I am so ready. I am ready to start a brand new beginning do new things. I truly believe that this will be an opportunity to better ourselves financially as well as allow me to spend a lot more time with the girls. It will also move Mitchell a good ways closer to work and will bring me closer to my Grandma. It would be such a relief to be able to count on her to help me out when I need it with the girls. Especially with Brylie starting school next year, I will have a peace of mind knowing that she will be there to pick her up from school if I can't make it. I just really wish we could move before Christmas. I want to start the new year off by making wonderful changes to our lives. I also would love for Brylie to start attending Church and a few other things out there so that she can make some new friends before Kindergarten. I just wish that a few others had the faith that I have in making the decision to buy a house right now. I think it could mean so much to us as a family. I guess I just live off of faith and that's definitely a big leap of it.
Wow, blogging really does make time go by quickly! Who knows, maybe I've found a new hobby lol. I guess I need to go take my bath and go to bed. That 4:00 alarm comes real early in the morning. Hopefully I didn't bore anyone too badly!
