the Little Mermaid

So, I finally had a chance to go through all the boxes of hand-me-downs - sent to me from my sister . (Thanks, Jen!) I love hand-me-downs. And there was some super-cute stuff in there - the stuff I bought my niece as a gift at some point! ha!! (just kidding, although it is always fun to get that stuff back, too!)

But I came across this sparkly little bathing suit and Burgundy instantly wanted it. So she played around with it and then kept handing it to me. So, I put it in my basket and she got upset, I gave it back to her and she handed it to me again. We went through this little cycle a couple times until mommy realized (duh) that she wanted to wear it. She's such a girl!!
So, here she is in her little mermaid suit. She kept saying "sparkly!" (or something kinda like it - it kinda came out "pahk-eee")
Her favorite thing to do lately is pull everything out of drawers she can reach (usually it's Finn's sock & underwear drawer & her jammie drawer) and try things on - which basically means she puts it over and behind her head in an attempt to get it on and then crawls around with it around her neck like a scarf (picture her with Finn's Spongebob underpants on her head). Little fashionista. Did I mention she's a girl?

Also here's a cute video of Finn & Burgundy playing nicely (somewhat rare, although they are getting better every day. She has realized that if she screams when he comes near her he won't take her toy because if she screams I will look over and see him take it and then he gets scolded - she's no dummy! I just try to be fair and not always get on his case, lest she learn that she holds all the cards as well as the strings to mommy-puppet. She's learning the powers of being a girl in life all too soon!!)

ah well

Well, business has been pretty good this month, considering I had nothing at the beginning of the year. All things considered, I had a much better month than anticipated. I am slightly dissapointed in the fact that Finn's preschool fundraiser was not a little more successful, but it did ok. I have been trying to set goals for myself. I am not much of a goal setter but I am trying to start. I was hoping to sign somebody up this month. Actually my goal is to sign one person up a month because I want to promote to director by July. They were running this special for people who went to leadership, and if you signed someone in January you got a cool rolling backpack. I wanted it. But alas, it didn't happen. Oh well, I'm still hopefull for next month.
They are running some pretty cool deals for folks that sign up right now.

Other than that, I am just trying to get through the slower months and can't wait for the new catalog to come out in March! I won a ton of the new spring products from a sell-a-thon they did last November and I just got them in the mail yesterday - I am excited! I will probably have another open-house like I did for the fall catalog. So I guess this post is more like a personal journal entry for me to reaffirm my goal setting and just blah blah blah.

So if you see me or talk to me, you can ask me - how are your goals coming? Got any new recruits? Are you ready for directorship? I just need to stay on track. Like I said goal setting is new for me, so I will need some reminding!

not mawtch

Dr. Suess fan? ok, well not much is going on here. Just been hanging out, doing the day in day out kinda stuff. Today we drove down to Salt Lake for a minute, and while Finn fell fast asleep, we heard little giggles of delight from the back seat. I looked back to find Burgundy had gotten her socks off and was licking her toes and just tickling herself silly. It was pretty damn cute.
Of course once I turned the camera on her she wouldn't do it anymore, but these are still cute (sorry for the poor quality, they were taken with my cell phone).
