May 19, 2008 Picture Day!

So I got up all night with the baby, and it was much easier getting up with her when I was well rested from my REALLY LONG nap. :) It made me really crave a rocking chair in her bedroom because now that the room is done, I took her in there during her night feeds. We didn't have anywhere to sit, so we sat on the floor and hung out while she ate. Her wood in the nursery is called Coffee, and I cannot find that color in a glider rocker anywhere. I am going to look at Big Lots sometime and see if I luck out there. I might have to get a comfy rocking chair rather than a wooden one, but those puppies are over $400!!

FYI-the new Wal-Mart in Spring Mills in amazingly clean and we love going there over the one in Martinsburg, but they do not have a Portrait Studio there. I found that out the hard way after I drove there, went shopping for my props that I would be using in the picture, and then finding out that I had to go to the one in Martinsburg...lol.

Kaylee, Kennedy, and I went to the one in Martinsburg to get a picture similar to one I got taken of Kaylee 8 years ago when she was the baby's age. They look so much alike each other, so I mocked the set up to compare the pics. Oh my goodness, the pictures turned out better than I could have hoped for. I had told myself that I was only buying the cheap package of the one shot, but that woman knew how to take some awesome pics, so I caved in and bought some other shots. We are getting professional pics taken of Kaylee and Kennedy this weekend...so I figured it will save us $$ in the long run by getting these cheap ones first. lol

We ran into my friends from Regal Nails in the Wal-Mart and they gobbled up Kennedy. We were hanging out there so long that I decided to get a pedicure while I was chit chatting with them. Stephanie even treated me to a free pedicure as my baby gift! They are so nice in there, I just love them to death. They even painted Kaylee's nails for her and wouldn't even take a tip for her nails. I gave her $2 to give to him a a tip, and he snuck it back in her little jean pockets. When we got in the car, she asked me if she could keep the $2 rather than give it back to me...lol. Sure, why not...lol.
