So sorry...

It's been too long between posts, and for that I ah-pah-loh-giiiiize. For real. I've been working on some deeply fabulous bridesmaids zippers < holy geez folks, these invisible zippers are haunting me. I meant dresses. Bridesmaid dresses. Due to this I have barely had time to keep my house at the barely livable level of clean, much less take the time to post a blog.

(Well, barely livable by MY standards. I would NOT want anyone to think I'm a nasty person, so here's a bit of aside: I'm generally a pretty OCD clean freak about things, total organization, etc. and so what may be acceptable to some causes my blood pressure to rise. I didn't used to be like that, but I, my dears, am living proof that people can force themselves to change. Yes, "force" is the correct verb there. It takes serious effort, and a bit of a kick in the ass. I promise. Definitely a painful process. But anyways.)

I will DEFINITELY post photos of the dresses as soon as the wedding is over, so be looking for that on the 25th, or 26th if I find a way to sleep all day the Sunday after the wedding. (Anyone wanna adopt my kids for the day so that I can? You'd be my hero. Shameless, I know, but it is what it is.)

So, to catch up on other things in the McAllister-verse: Went consignment sale shopping with my mother-in-law this Saturday and bought almost everything that my kids will need clothing-wise to make it through the next season (btw: YAY IT'S FINALLY FALL!!!), and only spent $86. We bought 41 items. That's serious savings folks. Especially when they're outgrowing the clothing faster than I can buy them. I'm serious. Izaak is already wearing a size 6. He's not even 4 yet. And I have to shop out of the children's section now instead of the baby one. Sad day.

Evie has started expanding her vocabulary which is seriously exciting. I was starting to worry. Izaak began speaking at such a young age, and so well, that her inclination to pantomime noiselessly and for so long, was completely frustrating. Yay for a crack in the dam! Words are beginning to pour out like a freaking flood. Double yay!

Also, my dear sweet son decided to poop in the backyard. I guess he figured that because it was okay to pee in the bushes, that any sort of function out there was acceptable. Grr. And ew. Definitely ew. He also tried to pee on Evie today while they were playing outside. Is this normal??? Boys are gross.

Big news coming this week folks. Prepare yourselves.

See you again after the 25th!!! <3
