2 {two} 24 months dos dueces

I am having a really big issue with the fact that my baby will be 2 tomorrow.  Two years old.  I can't believe the amount of time that has literally flown by.  In the beginning you wish the time away.  The sleepless nights (and days), the time when they just lay and don't do anything cool (other than breathe), and all the blow out diapers.  All of a sudden, sitting at work, I realize I don't have a baby anymore.  I have a little girl.  A sweet, precious, beautiful little girl.  Before I know it she will be 13 and mad at me for not letting her leave the house ever  when she wants.  I'm scared ya'll.  Real scared.  We are having a small get together to celebrate Miss Macon herself and I haven't bought a thing.  I don't mean presents either, she doesn't need those, I mean like not even a scrap of food for our guests, a balloon, a party favor, not a thing.  Oops.  I have been putting this off.  I don't want her to grow up.  I don't want her to ever not be dependent on me and my love.  I guess the point of this is hopefully she won't think I was totally selfish as she grew up.  I want my sweet Scarlet to look back and read this one day (when I'm dead) and know that no words that I could put here could ever do justice to how much I love her.  I hope my actions show it.  I hope you feel like the most loved 2 year old to ever live and I know you do.  I celebrated her birthday by going to the beach without her.  It was glorious.

This is our spot in my favorite little corner of the world.

 My B.F.F. & I thought it only appropriate to take my MOTHER to The Mullet Toss.  AKA the biggest shit show in lower Alabama ever to take place once a year.

 Evidence of shit show.  This photo does no justice to the amount of wasted, redneck trash that was present.

Scarlet Begonia - Momma celebrated your birthday in a big way last weekend! 

You have come a long way angel.

All 6 pounds and 4 ounces

to 30 pounds ;)

Love you sweet girl!

Shit kids say

Now that the littlest Macon has learned how to use sentences, she does it often.  More often than not, she does it very silly-ly (that should so be a word).  Lately.

• My pay pay do mommy wif daddy.  My pay wif daddy peeeees mommy  my pay pay doh.
• Daddy wortin maytin my money.
• Hold you me mommy
• My go potty my get belly bean
• Beef brush mommy my wanna beef brush (brush teeth) & last night she asked for her poof brush instead of beef?  (That is sooo gross)
• Mommy where molly go?  Me - Molly went home sweetie with her mommy.  S - She go home? She get new daddy?  Molly and Holby (Colby) get new daddy?
• What is your whole name Scarlet?  S - Carlet LEETA Maytin.  (we have my mom and sis to thank for this, they call her Letta/Leeta.  It stuck).
• My see Emma baftub weenie?  Mommy Emma have weenie in baftub? 
• Any time a noise that sounds remotely like a fart is emitted from ANYTHING she yells "MOMMY HOOOOTED"

That's really all I can think of right now.  She is so damn funny.  I am going to the beach tomorrow, hell yes.  Hopefully something unfortunate or funny (more than likely both) will happen while there and I will have some good material next week.

Mint + Bloom

Guys,  do you read First Name Smith?  She is not only hilarious but awesome cause she is giving away a gift card to Mint + Bloom!  Go check her out.  I would love to be able to hook my momma up with a sweet gift and not have to come out of pocket cause I'm cheap like that!

Hair Today, Gone NOW

So do you guys ever get a wild hair (haha punny) to try those pinterest hair tutorials.  I am living proof that you should bypass them.  All of them.  Ok maybe you can do a braid and get away with it but I have tried 2 to date and have made an EPIC mockery of them both.  These people are either a. not real people, b. wearing wigs, or c. editing out the part in the video where they have to run get their hair professionally fixed before showing the end result.  First up was the sock bun curls.  Remember this girl?  Yeah, mine looked like a kinked out hooker (think Julie Roberts but not near as cute).  So last night I decided to try out this.  Kinda Shakira-ish but I am ok with it.  Let the following pictures be a reminder that THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT REAL.   First you twist up little buns and be sure you strongly resemble Shorty from "Don't be a Menace" .

See the resemblance?

Next you sleep on it and apparently wake up like this beauty.

Except for this happened.  And it wasn't good.  Not at all.  

 I kind of knew things weren't going well here...

 Then I stumbled across Jennifer Gray.

Then I showed my husband the epic damage.  This would be great had I wanted to go to work looking like a member of White Snake.

In the end the only thing I can say is it's a GOOD damn thing I have a fabulous flat iron.  I had to come to work with a pony tail and you can't tell in this picture but that flat iron couldn't smooth that joker out.  It is huge.  Lesson learned for now.  Guess I'll just try a braid.
