One Of The Greatest Smiles In The World.

When I heard Bailey awake this morning yelling "Mum .Mum. Mum" as he does every morning, I went in to say hello. I was greated by one of the most beautiful smiles I have ever seen. Bailey's smile lit his whole face up and as a result I broke out in a huge smile myself. It was the most perfect way to start the day. Then I changed a nappy. Any warm fuzzes feelings I had disappeared  for a few minutes as I wiped a little boys bottom. Then the beautiful hug Bailey gave me made everything all worth it.

Brandon slept into 8:30am this morning. That meant that he had had 11 1/2hrs sleeps. Wow wee! I think he is going through another growing spurt because his appetite has picked up again and no matter how much food he has, it's not enough. Our goal today was to get the boy's haircut and to finally get our real Christmas tree. It was all very exciting. So off we went firstly to get the boy's haircuts. They were both so fantastic. Both boys sat still. Both boys were well mannered. The owner of the hairdressing shop said she was very excited today because we were her first repeat customers. Excellent. We even got a reward card.

The boys looked very handsome. We jumped back in the car and drove all the way over to a Scout hall where they were selling Christmas trees. Except no-one was there. We pulled over and I rang several numbers to try and track down our tree. No-one answered and no-one was there and I had 2 boys and 1 mummy who really wanted a tree. The only way to deal with it was to move on. We headed homeward because we were going to now have to find a plastic Christmas tree somewhere. On our way home we passed some shops. They looked promising so we stopped, got out, had a peruse, spent $20 on things that we hadn't needed 5 mins ago, piled back into the car without a tree because they had sold out, and drove away. Found some more shops and just repeated the process from 20minutes ago. And yes, they too had sold out of plastic Christmas trees. Things weren't looking good.  We bought some lunch at the cafe and sat there and gobbled it up. By now we were all a bit over the shops and our eternal search for a tree so we went home.

Bailey was asleep by the time we got home and as daddy was already home Brandon was not going to sleep. We hung out together for a brief moment before I went to work. I was fully booked with clients this afternoon so I was busy. Eventually once I finished, daddy had already bathed the boys and they were in the crazy tired stage. I put Brandon to bed and daddy put Bailey. We had a busy little day.Tomorrow we will get a Christmas tree.
