the pretty and the not so pretty

the pretty

• the way pilates makes me sore.
• halle.
• the way betsey johnson perfume makes me smell. i have been complimented on my smell several times since i received this gift for christmas from my sweet inlaws. wes loves it. and you can find it for a good price at nordstrom rack.
• halle asking me to play her favorite songs on our piano. popcorn popping, if you're happy and you know it, book of mormon stories, and i'm a child of god.
• the southwest chicken wraps i made this week.
• halle's elephant jammies.
• sleeping next to halle two nights in a row.
• the sun is shining.
• my husband.

the not so pretty

• the way i look when i do pilates.
• halle's cough.
• the way i smelled after taking care of halle for 48 hours straight during her cold. seriously no time to shower in two days. every time she slept i had to hold her.
• my deteriorating piano skills.
• the thai curry chicken i made this week. did not turn out at all. nothing could be salvaged. when it comes to thai food, i think we will stick to take out.
• halle has been in her elephant jammies for the past two days. she won't wear anything else.
• sleeping next to halle two nights in a row and listening to her cough, moan, cry, and talk in her sleep every 40 minutes.
• there are a few inches of snow outside our house that just won't go away.
• there is nothing not so pretty about my husband. he gave me naps and played with halle and just left for church to teach our nursery kiddos by himself.
