i'm pooped.  i have to admit that i will be a way happier momma after next week is over.   with all we have going on in our little place i'm just not sleeping well.  i keep  having nightmares and am having such a hard time getting a good nights sleep lately.    i'm also excited because my baby sister is due to have her first baby any day now and i can't wait to meet the little one and get some new baby snuggles.  my folks and omi are also coming for a month long visit!!!! it will be our first thanksgiving with them for eons and eons.  we're very excited!

we'll also be adjusting to a new routine around our place with mackenzie starting kindergarten full time on monday.  she had her first day yesterday and did amazingly well.  she loved it so much and cannot wait to go back.  haper on the other hand did not take it so good.  i've never seen my baby girl cry like she did on thursday.  she must have wailed and sobbed her big sisters name for at least an hour.  she cried so hard she fell asleep when we got home all curled up in my lap holding on for dear life with her little fingers.  i think she thought we left mackenzie there.  no matter what we said she just seemed to think that we forgot her sister and was doing everything she could to get us to go back and get her.  it was heartbreaking and we both had a good cry together.  

the best part of the day was picking mackenzie up.  we were both so excited to see that twinkle in her eye and to hear her tell us all of her tales of her first day of kindergarten.  when we saw her little head pop into view i swear i thought my heart would burst.  harper starting screaming out her name and ran as fast as she could to grab her big sister and jump into the biggest set of hugs i have ever seen them give each other. i had to even wait a few minutes to get a hug....they just wouldn't let go of each other.  it was a moment i don't think i'll ever forget and i'm so happy to have seen that love between them.  it's such a special bond.  don't get me wrong though...they are fighting as i type this...lol.  back to their old ways..lol.  my barbie...no - my barbie...give me my barbie...MOMMMM!!! oh sisters.....you gotta luv'em.

wishing you a hugs and luvs filled weekend topped with pumpkin spice lattes, creative time, sunshine, smiles & lots of sleep.
