Favorite-Things-Phone-Dump Friday

It. Is. Friday.  We made it through another week.

Barely.

You guys...preschoolers.  Ohmygoodness.

Ours is going through a lot right now and she is REALLY intent on taking her frustrations out on Mom and Dad.

The number of epic meltdowns that happened this week was pretty unreal.  I don't know what the deal is, but I have a few theories.

1) Delayed rebellion for us bringing home a baby.

2) Nap refusal (even though I know she would be tired enough by 1pm to fall asleep if she tried) resulting in extreme exhaustion by 5pm.

3) Not seeing Mom much, and having to share her time with the baby.

4) Not knowing how to control her spunk yet (and use it for good), resulting in total diva attitude.

5) Being sick all the time.

It is probably just a lethal combination of all of the above, and it is HARD.  I really hope that this is not typical 4-year-old behavior, or it is going to be a long year.

But enough about that. Onto the pictures.

Favorite Thing #1: This little diva and her ability to push all my buttons...but I love her
beyond words anyway.

Favorite Thing #2: The other little diva and her infectious smile and need to sleep
in people's arms.

Favorite Thing #4: Their dad and his weird facial hair for "No shave November."

Favorite Thing #5: Baby snuggles

Favorite Thing #6: Sisters

Favorite Thing #7: Play time and snuggle time with Daddy

Favorite Thing #8: Trying to be productive with a baby at work
with me for the morning

Favorite Thing #9: Beautiful weather

Aside from the meltdowns, we are still trying to figure out life with both of us working.  After work, we usually default to dividing and conquering...one of us taking Maya so she can sleep, and the other entertaining Callie.  It is survival mode still, but I hope that we'll be able to spend more time as a foursome soon. I'm very much looking forward to the holiday season and all the fun memories we'll be creating together.

Have a great weekend!!
