Oh, well good morning sunshine :)
I decided I would give you a routine of what Bella and I usually do on our Monday mornings. First we shoot the breeze for a bit in the morning.
then we spend approximately 20 minutes in front of the pantry deciding what to eat for breakfast. Bella is always disappointed because I won’t let her eat Splenda.
Then we get all situated for Mickey Mouse Club House and Handy Maney.
WAIT…what is she doing??? What is she trying so hard to get?…she is so sneaky
What did she get? She’s moving too quickly
HA AH! I caught her in the act. She tried to take the keys again. She really is a stinker
She tried to explain herself, but I wasn’t buying it.
Anyway, this past Monday was GROSS!!! But Bella and I still managed to make it to Hobby Lobby to buy TWENTY ONE rolls of wrapping paper. No…I’m not kidding. Their wrapping paper this year is so cute and it is 50% off this week. Needless to say my mom and Allison sent me on a hunt to buy out Hobby Lobby’s wrapping paper. I seriously under estimated how heavy 21 rolls of wrapping paper would be. While there, Bella managed to grab every pack of tape and put it in our cart.
then we made it to the aisle with fake pets…and Bella was so excited to see the pup pups. Even though they were fake, Bella still loved them like they were her real very own pup pups. She was actually petting them, it was pretty funny :)
Then we went to Target and Bella got a skirt that she couldn’t part with. She also couldn’t part with my lens cap.
SO the past few days have been NUTS!!! I actually drove back to Kirksville today and I won’t be back to St. Louis for two weeks. I have a couple shoots this week in Kirksville, then I go to KC for shoots this coming weekend, then I come back to Kirksville for a few more shoots and to help get ready for our big Thanksgiving shin dig…….then, on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, I stop off in Columbia for a shoot while I’m on my way back to St. Louis…and then I’m back….and then I will work like a crazy lady and I will probably be drinking like a 12 pack of energy drinks so that I can stay up for a week straight and work on editing, christmas orders, christmas cards, my christmas shopping, etc. I never in a million years, thought my little business would take off this quickly. Even though it is absolutely crazy busy and I’ve really cut down on my sleep and my free time…I wouldn’t trade it for the world. THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone for all your support :) Keep it coming!!!
One thing that I’m going to start doing is being very strict with myself on the amount of pictures I edit for people. I have the amount of pictures you get with each package listed out and I need to start sticking with that. My editing is taking me forever because I have like an average of 80 pictures for each session. It’s so hard for me to delete pictures. I just can’t seem to part with them and I really need to get over it. My sister Ali is really good about deleting unneccessary pictures and not thinking twice about it….maybe I should hire her to sift through my pictures….ummmm Ali?? You can sleep on it and let me know :)
Ok- Now I’m going to go down the garage and make 12 Nameboards and get ready for my shoot with Mr. Benson tomorrow. Oh he is so cute and I’m so excited to see how much he has grown :)
