Cookie Exchange

I love me a cookie exchange!!! Tuesday I was having cookie exchange so I busted my B.U.T.T. cleaning the house but things just weren't going my way. First my brand new vacuum decided to stop sucking, which is never a good thing for a vacuum to do. It took me over an hour to diagnose the problem and then take the entire thing apart and put it back together-but I'm happy to report it is sucking perfectly now! Then while in my vacuuming splendor I failed to hear my darling two year old flush the toilet maybe a hundred times. Ryan came into the living room sheepishly and said," ut oh mom, toilet wet, floor wet!" Immediately panic alarms were ringing in my head! I ran into the bathroom to find about an inch of water covering the entire bathroom floor! L.O.V.E.L.Y.!!!!!! Of course on the day when I need to get EVERYTHING done, everything goes wrong, oh and Caroline was super whiny and clingy.

I was in the home stretch, I just needed to shower, put on makeup and finish making my 6 dozen cookies. At about 5 there was a loud knock on the door, I looked out the window in the door and didn't see anything but I was sure I had heard a knock so I opened the door. On the ground there was a baby in a basket with a bag of marshmallows!!! I was shocked it looked like Reese but it couldn't be her they weren't coming until Sunday and I had just talked to Katie last night, this couldn't be Reese, but who else could it be? I think it is Reese.....just then Delaney and Katie jumped out from behind the bushes!!! I was shocked, beyond shocked I had NO clue they were coming early! It was the best surprise ever! She got here just in time for the party! I was so excited that she was able to come early to hang out with me for a few days before all the Christmas festivities begin. On Wednesday we had a blast at the new Fort Worth Children's and Science Museum. We got there at 11 and left at 5-it was a fun filled day and everyone was happy! Today we just hung low and had great time. All 3 nights all 4 kids were in bed by 6:30, it has been perfect!! I miss my sister so much, so it is so nice to have a the space for everyone to come and stay at my house.
