Oh my, oh my...

Yesterday was Amy's second birthday. I cant believe my little baby is 2!!! She is talking so much now. (And sometimes says the funniest things. I think her favorite phrase is "oh baby!") Last night we just had a small family get together and had dinner and cake. (My plans for their combined party are still up in the air- of course I don't do anything until the last minute...) Here is a picture of Amy when she was born- at 6 lbs 9 oz and 18 inches long. Sometimes its so hard to remember that!

We went out to the field again last night for more pictures (and this time on ISO 200). It was so busy out there with 4 wheelers and dirt bikes! Plus, someone rolled their 4 wheeler so the medics and fire had to make their way through these dirt fields. The girls really enjoyed watching the fire truck on the dirt road. I'm sure they oh so loved me snapping a few pics of them driving by, but I just couldn't resist! :)

Daniel snapped a few of us girls. The color is so muted when I bring them into blogger... I dont know why- but they look tons better in Photoshop.And here is my 2 year old birthday girl!

So after I got Aly in bed (Amy napped so she was up until 11) I decided to extend my red wall just a bit and fix some chipped spots in the wall. I thought it would be a quick easy paint fix. Well... I stepped back and knocked a FULL GALLON of dark red paint over- past my canvas drop cloth onto my LIGHT BEIGE carpet. Then as I was frantically cleaning up- Amy came over and STEPPED into the puddle of paint- before I could grab her, she had stepped onto the carpet and now I have 2 litte footprints right next to the huge spot of red paint. So... what do we do? Do we just have one part of the carpet patched? Rip out and replace a strip of carpet? We of course dont have any money- we also found out this week that Daniels scholarship didnt come through for this semester like we planned so all of a sudden we owe the school about $800. So- um... when it rains it POURS.

It looks purple, but it is actually a dark red. Dang blogger.
