Not Me Monday- Crazy Crazy

Filed Under Eighteen Months, Not Me Monday, Professional Pictures | 9 Comments

Crazy Crazy, that’s how our life has been lately. Some of it’s good, and some of it is just annoying. The good part is that we have gotten Bailey’s Christmas pictures done, and I am going to give you a sneak peek. This is NOT the picture that will appear on our Christmas cards.

But they did an amazing job, and we could not choose just a few so we ended up buying a giant package of way too many pictures. If you need to get pictures done, check out Portrait Innovations. Their prices are really reasonable, and their backgrounds and scenery stuff is great!

Now on to the things that I definitely did not do this week…

I did not let my child watch Barney on repeat for two hours so that I could get my Avon order put in this morning. (Edited to add: I DO NOT LIKE BARNEY. My mom got Bailey a Barney video once from the library and she fell in love. She would choose Barney over anything else at this point. We have two videos, Shake Your Dino Tail and Barney’s Birthday Party. But it keeps her busy.)

I did not stay up until 1 a.m. the other night to watch episodes of Kitchen Nightmares online.

I did not buy five more sets of hairbows at Gymboree. I am not addicted to curly hairbows.

I did not drive fifteen minutes through traffic and pass about 30 other restaurants only to get to another IHOP when the first one was closed. No, I am not that into pancakes. And Bailey was not in the backseat yelling “Cakey! Cakey!” the whole time.

I did not have my mom iron the dress for Bailey’s Christmas pictures.

I did not spend way too long looking at a website with cheap t-shirts that have funny and tacky sayings on them. Who would do that??

I did not get a bunch of Avon orders during the middle of the night so that I could win some states for my Avon contest before other people woke up to start working on it! I am actually doing GREAT, but I still need quite a few states. If you want to help me out, check out that link or read the post immediately below this one.

I did not feed Bailey the mini peanut butter cups out of my ice cream last night. Because I was not overwhelmed by the disgusting amount of chocolate. (Really, I rarely get tired of chocolate, but it was BAD.)

Oh My Word! I will let my son watch anything BUT Barney. For some reason he drives me crazy! But I have been known to let him watch Clifford the Big Red Dog so I can exercise and blog for a while!

Adorable picture! I can’t wait to see your Christmas cards! We had the opposite experience at JCP last Saturday while we were trying to get our Christmas pics done. Ella was wiggly and wanted nothing to do with having her pic taken. Luckily, I think my cousin got some good ones of our family with her camera.

LOVE the photo! I am also known to put Barney on for an hour or two to clean up the house for company. Adam likes Sesame Street but he LOVES Barney and will actually sit there and watch it. Needless to say, Barney songs go through my head all day long. Good times! P.S. I’m thinking of placing an Avon order even though you already have VA!
