You ever have one of those days with your kids when you just have had all you can take as far as whining & behavior goes...well, I had one yesterday. Both girls are teething & I do feel bad for them, but there is only one mommy & 2 babies in this house, so they really shouldn't try to send me to an early grave. The way I can tell Jessica is teething is that her behavior gets awful. She doesn't obey me & is mean to everyone.....little Ella just doesn't nap & fusses. Yesterday, Jessica ran upstairs as I was downstairs taking care of Ella, which she knows not to do & then I hear her at the top of the stairs saying MoMo...no, no! It didn't dawn on me until I got myself & baby Ella almost all the way upstairs that MoMo was wet and this was not from just any ol' water, this was potty water....yuck! This is not the first or only time MoMo has gone swimming in the potty, but the first time that Jessica has intentionally lifted the lid & put him in, then threw him halfway down the stairs--needless to say, it was not a good day for MoMo. Now, I am very strict when it comes to cleaning potties in my home & rarely does a day go by that I don't clean the bathroom. Especially now that Jessica is really into the potty training, I really try to keep everything extra clean...but still, MoMo going for a swim in the potty is gross! Thankfully, he's machine washable & Friday is his day for a bath in my washer anyway, so all is well & he is clean. After the MoMo incident, she proceeded to open her milk cup & spill it all over the floor upstairs (thank goodness for hardwoods) & also hit Ella with a hairbrush. Sometimes I truly don't know what to do with her. Later, after she was clean from her bath & waiting for me to read her books--I look over & see her sitting nicely in her rocking chair & folding her little hands as she looks at her prayer book--guess I'm keeping her after all & not selling her to the circus ;) (not really gonna sell her to the circus, but I must admit the thought has crossed my mind). As for poor little Ella, she didn't nap at all & just fussed for a few hours, which is totally not like her. I guess what I'm saying with this blog is that even though they look angelic in the pictures I post of them, they can be a handful & even though we sometimes look like the perfect little family, we have "those" days too. I hope that if you're a mom & you needed a reminder that all mother's have this kind of day, you just had a good laugh at my life with 2 under 2. I am sure in years to come I'll have many laughs over days like yesterday. Enjoy a few pics of Ella wearing some new hats from Grandma.

| I grant you no hats in this one, but still sweet |
 |
| Look at the bee on the flower, super cute, right? |
 |
| I just think she looks so pretty in gray |
 |
| Sepia tone, orange filter applied...I like how it smooths everything out |
 |
| Same effect as above, I like the angle of her face here |
 |
| Love this one...look at the sharpness of the eyes...that's how the pros do it ;) |
 |
| The green looks pretty with her fair skin, at least I thought so |
 |
| One of the few little smiles I got...poor little teething girl |
 |
| Love this one also, it's all about angle when it comes to close ups & that hat looks cute too |
 |
| No smile, but still pretty |
