Bubba's Bling

Last night was one of the most memorable nights of my life. It all started out with Taylor and I taking our daughters to the mall to get their Easter pictures taken together. Now mind you, I thought this was going to take a few minutes because I mean, how hard can it be to take pictures of a 3 month old (who is always sleeping) and a 1 year old (who loves getting her pictures taken). Well all I can say is I've learned something last night...I WAS TOTALLY WRONG!

It started out with Taylor and I eating dinner at the food court. Alexa fell asleep in the stroller and I was praising the Lord above that she was passed out and will be through her pictures. Well I must have spoken a little louder than I should have because here is Alexa, MAD because I woke her up. Boy she sure has an attitude! So to let me know I pissed her off, she starts WAILING! Mind you people are all around me and I feel my cheeks growing red...LOL.

So we cruise around the mall thinking that the movement will calm her down. Wrong again. So we stop by Spencer's to buy her a paci. I didn't know they sold pacis, but apparently they do. And thank the Lord above again that these pacis are rated G. So after paying $10 for a paci (I almost fainted at the counter mind you when the girl told me the total), we headed to Penneys to get their pictures taken. This is what I get for not having a paci on hand...$10 and this...


Trying to get a perfect picture was a nightmare and afterwards, Taylor convinces me to go to Claire's to get Alexa's ears pierced. Now, I've always heard that a mother can feel a daughter's pain, but never really understood it until last night. Even though I really wanted to get Alexa's ears pierced, I was making up every excuse in the world not to because I personally couldn't handle it. I was even about to leave Claire's, but wanted to be there for my daughter if she needed me. So to sum up what happened last night at Claire's, here are a couple of pictures that will speak for themselves.



This is me biting Alexa's dress trying to calm my nerves.


This is Alexa screaming because the lady was dotting her ears. She kept on dotting the left ear crooked, so I took it upon myself to take the marker and dot it myself. I think I did a pretty good job at it too!

And finally...


So what did I learn last night? Let's recap...

1. Always have that paci even if I have to be sucking on it myself to have it on hand...

2. Note to self...spencer's sells pacis if desperate...

3. Thank the Lord above for the little things because I sure was praising him a lot last night...

4. Never assume...last night did not go as how I pictured it in my mind!

5. And lastly...never piss Alexa off!

I hope she got some big loven and some goodies!! lol

Omigosh, I don't think I could take Gracie to go do that. That made me wanna cry too :(

But at least Spencers had some pacifiers. I didn't know they sold G-rated nooks either! Who'd a thought Spencers would be a lifesaver??

Hi! I came over from Taylor's site. Just wanted to comment that Alexa is so adorable!!

Thank goodness that Spencer's sells pacifiers. I will keep a mental note of that in case I ever need it too. I would have never thought to look there!
