Our New "Toy"--the Sippy Cup
Last Friday, I thought I'd try Anna & Maggie on the sippy cup. I love the cups we got for them; the handles make is so easy for them to hold. They just need to work on their coordination a bit. :) Anyway, they had their first real tastes of apple juice and seemed to enjoy it. Of course, they were wearing a good bit of it, too, but I guess that's where the fun is! :)
Anna's First Juice from a Sippy Cup
Not sure what Anna's thinking--probably that this stuff doesn't taste ANYTHING like my formula!
Maggie's First Juice from a Sippy Cup
Not sure what she thought about it. But, most of the cup was emptied, so I guess that it was a positive experience!

Sleepy Heads
Too cute. A few nights ago, I snapped this picture of Warren & Maggie sleeping. They just couldn't last much longer. So sweet! :)

A Good Cry
Do you ever have those days where you just need to have a good cry to make yourself feel better? Well, if you have, then you know how I have felt today. After the news yesterday about Warren's car and all the hullabaloo that we're probably going to have to go through, I'm just in a funk. Then today, Reese and all of her three year old "goodness" really pushed my buttons. Not wanting to take a nap, not leaving her sisters alone--you name it, we fought about it! :) And. . . I heard back from the real estate company that we rented our last house from. We've been waiting to see what (if any) kind of deposit money we'd be getting back, considering that we've been out of the house almost a month. Got a call today. . ."You're not getting anything back!" I wanted to hurl a few swear words at the woman I was so mad. We have NEVER not gotten any deposit money back. Guess these folks must have used the most expensive people in town to "fix" the problems we caused--which were none except not being able to sweep and vacuum and wipe down counters since the lights and water were turned off before we had a chance! They said that both the rooms that we used for the girls needed painting. Yeah, Reese liked to use her walls as canvases, but tell me, how much damage could Anna and Maggie have done to the walls in their room? If they wrote on the walls, then man, have I got some REAL prodigies on my hands. I'm so glad that they used my money to clean the carpets and rake leaves in the yard for the next folks that move in--especially since there were leaves and "junk" all in the yard and the carpets could have walked by themselves they were so dirty when we moved in. Hope the new tenants enjoy the improvements on my dime. Well, thanks for letting me vent a little. This is just yet another thing we'll have to get over--I suppose. Just don't like being ripped off, which is exactly what this is. Hope this company never asks us for a referral or recommendation--not in a million years would I say pleasing things about them!!
BUMMER!
In other news. . .got word back on the damage to Warren's car. If you keep up with our site, you know that a couple of weeks ago Warren's car was hit while he was at work. The woman that hit him was trying to back into a non-existent space next to him, and from what I can piece together, the back end of her car got stuck on the front end of Warren's. Her car ripped the front fender off the car. (Wish I had a picture to post--will try to get one soon). Wonderful!!! And the insurance agent who is handling things for the woman that hit Warren is out of her office all week! Can it get any better?
He did talk to someone and they told him to take it to this place here in town for an estimate. He did that yesterday! Over $2000 worth of damages! We were in shock, and since our little Altima isn't worth much over that, it's totaled! So now we might be stuck with a second car payment. We loved the Altima--especially since we owned it! Oh well. We are going to get whatever the car's worth, I think, or close to it that we can use for down payment on something else. We got some good leads on some used cars yesterday evening--just need something pretty reliable that won't need much work on in the next while and something trustworthy just to get him to work and home! Keep us in your prayers!!!!

Brace Yourselves
Just a little warning for when you look at the pictures below. We were in Tupelo on Monday, and Warren suggested that we take Reese to the Libby Lu st ore in McRae's (now Belk). For those of you that don't know about Libby Lu, it's a TOTALLY girly store with jewelry, makeup, shampoo, perfume, dress up clothes, etc.--you get the drift. Another plus to this store is that they do "makeovers" for the girls. Anyway, whenever we are in the mall in Tupelo, we always see these little girls with their hair and makeup done. Reese has never been, nor had we, so Warren wanted to treat her to her very own "makeover." What a sweet Daddy he is. Of course, Libby Lu is not exactly the kind of place where daddies want to hang out. It's pink and purple and has combinations of scents that when alone are lovely, but when all mixed together make you kinda sick! Warren just loves doing fun things for his girls.
We got a fun little makeover package for Reese. With her makeover, she got a fun backpack taht she was able to fill with any five items from a particular section in the store. She got a crown and wand (as you'll see in the pictures), a pen with some purple "fuzz" on it, seven lip glosses that came in the same pack (yes, seven for all the days of the week), and two butterfly bracelets--so all in all she got 12 things instead of just five! She also got to make her very own strawberry (so of course the color was pink) scented perfume! :) Once she was finished filling her backpack, it was time for her makeover!
The "stylist," Angel, first asked Reese what color she wanted her fingernails painted---yep, pink! Not only did she get pink nails, but she was able to dip her fingers in glitter, too. So she was already stylin' with a great manicure! Eyes were next---yep, pink again! (Can you tell that she's ALL girl) Then it was time for hair. All Angel did was twist small sections of Reese's hair, but I told her that Angel was braiding it. And to finish off her hair do, Angel sprayed glitter filled hairspray on her hair! Reese had a great time, and so did Warren and I watching our big girl be so still and sweet! I wish I had had the camera so I could've taken some action shots, but I didn't. I had intended to bring it, but just plain forgot! Maybe next time.
Doesn't she look great? :)

Another Milestone for Maggie
Well, I'm going to take a few mintues to brag on one of my girls. Maggie Beth (what we usually call her at home) had a momentous day yesterday. I was in the kitchen washing bottles (the story of my life) and other dishes, trying to be the good homemaker and trying to keep things neat. The twins were jabbering as usual and Reese was playing in her room. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Maggie crawing into the kitchen--nothing unusual about that; she does it everyday. As soon as I finished with the washing, I turned around and low and behold--she was in a sitting position. She was supporting herself on her hands, but this is big progress!!!! I'm so proud!
And. . .in related news--Anna is starting to really crawl now. She's been a little behind Mags in the crawling game, but here in the last couple of weeks, she's been on the move! WONDERFUL--now I three mobile children! Was LOTS easier when they couldn't move by themselves. Anyway, don't know when she'll start sitting; we try to make her "practice," but she always keeps pushing back on our hands while we're trying to balance her.
I know that all babies/children are different, and I'm quickly discovering that. Maggie is the more aggressive baby. Anna can be playing with a toy, and here comes Maggie ready to take it out of her hand, or pull her hair or wake her up if she's sleeping! She's a hoot! :) Maggie is still more serious in her looks than Anna; Anna's got a more fun loving air, but she's laid back at the same time. Another discovery that I'm making is that these babies are reaching their "milestones" on a much different timetable than Reese did. Reese was walking at 9 1/2 or 10 months, and these babies are just starting to sit now. I think it all has to do with the fact that Reese was much bigger than the twins when she was born; she weighed 7 pounds 12 ounces and Anna & Maggie were 5 lbs 5 oz and 5 lbs 10 oz, respectively. But, they are "normal" (whatever normal is), happy, healthy babies and that's all anyone can ask for. All three of my girls fill my heart everyday with so much love and joy. I know I mention it all the time when I talk about my girls, but I am truly blessed and thank God for allowing me to be their Mommy! :)

When It Rains. . .
It pours. Just when I think things are going smoothly--BAM, something comes up (reality, I guess) and let's me know otherwise. Like someone is saying, "Everyone who thinks things are going great, raise your hand. Not so fast Brooke--you're sadly mistaken."
Our day today started off pretty rocky. My babies, who usually sleep SOOOOOOO well (from 9pm to around 7 or 8am or sometimes even 9am), didn't do as well last night--at least one of them didn't. Anna woke up at 6:30 this morning!!! 6:30! I haven't been up that early since they were tiny little things! Anyway, I thought she might have just had a bad dream or something, so I lay there thinking she'd go back to sleep--WRONG! Not only was she not happy, she ended up waking Reese up, too, and Reese would NOT go back to sleep. :( Anna didn't go back to sleep until she had her cereal and a couple hours of playtime. I am scared she's getting an ear infection because she's been really cranky the last few days, and that is so totally unlike these babies. Warren says that it may be her teeth (she's trying to cut some on the top) and that may be the cause of her ears hurting and her stomach hurting. I pray it's only the teeth; we've got Tylenol for that and it doesn't require a trip to the doctor! Had enough of that in the ER with Reese last week.
Everyone had kinda calmed down around 11:30--finally smooth sailing, until the phone rings. It's Warren--he usually tries to call at least once during the day when he's at work to check on his girls. But, this time it wasn't a check-up call:
"What's the phone number to our insurance office?"
"Why"
"Because someone has hit my car."
"Fabulous."--especially considering the fact that we weren't sure if we had put liability on his car on our existing policy (hey, give us a break--we're trying to keep up with three little folks on a daily basis!)
Seems as if the woman who hit him (a parked car, no less) was going to try to make a run for it and not notify anyone about what she had done. So we are "lucky" in that respect and lucky too that no one was in the car. She does have insurance, I think, so I think things are gonna be okay. Praise the Lord!!!! :)
And. . .Some of Warren's family members have been in poor health recently and not doing too well still. So our prayers are with them.
Man. . . can our lives get any more stressful and hectic. Guess we'd be bored if nothing big was happening. But you know what, I might like to see what that feels like for a little while! ;)

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!
Reese naturally got candy from me and her daddy, but we also gave her some mudboots for playing in the backyard after the rain. I can only take credit for the idea of the boots; Warren picked out the flowery boots himself. He does a REALLY great job picking out things for all four of his girls! Reese wanted me to take a picture of her in her boots, so of course I obliged, and of course I felt the need to share them with all of you! :) Hope you don't mind. ;) She and Warren went in the backyard and played for a while this afternoon, so the boots have been adquately worn in. She was quite the messy little girl when she came inside! That's why we got 'em for her. Anyway, we hope that everyone had a great Valentine's Day. We sure did especially since we were all together today! Take care.
We're Eight Months Old
Time is officially flying right by me. Maggie (on the left) and Anna are EIGHT months old today--exactly. They were born on Tuesday, June 14. It is so hard for me to believe that this much time has passed already. They (along with their big sister and daddy) are my sweethearts who I love to death! This post has to wrap up; we're getting fussy. I'll post more later.

Pre-Valentine's
We kinda had a "pre" Valentine celebration today. Warren was off, as he is tomorrow, too, but he said that he'd take all of his girls to Tupelo for lunch at Red Lobster! YUM-O! We LOVE Red Lobster. The trip over was great. The twins slept all the way and Reese had a little nap, too. Lunch was delicious; we're gonna have to go back soon. Reese even got a red bead necklace with a lobster on it. And, of course we had to wear it in the mall.
We made a stop in the mall before heading home. GG, Mimi and Pop gave the girls some money for Valentine's Day, and we were able to get them some spring/summer clothes. Not very many outfits, but a couple of things. Reese got two pair of khaki shorts--that way we can pass them down to Anna and Maggie, assuming of course that Reese doesn't destroy them while she has them! :) I was able to do some shopping for me, too. Just gotta get Warren something now.
Anyway, will post more tomorrow. Take care! :)

What A Day, What A Day
We have had a really interesting day at chez Manning. We all woke up as we normally do and everyone was in really good moods--shocking! :) The twins were in need of some cereal and baby food, so Reese and I made a trek into town. She was such a good girl; I so enjoyed being out with her. We got home around 11. . .and that's when things started going downhill.
I loved on the babies a little and Reese did her usual of changing clothes. Warren was busy painting the trim in Reese's room, so I decided to head to the kitchen to wash bottles--especially since Anna and Maggie had only one clean bottle a piece! I had barely begun the chore of washing when I hear Warren hollering from Reese's room to bring a towel and QUICK! Seems there was a problem with the top on the white paint can and let's just say that some paint ended up on the floor. No biggie--Reese's bed will cover it and we're gonna replace the carpet in a couple of years anyway. After I get him some stuff to try and get the paint up with, I go back to the kitchen to continue washing. . .
I barely make it into the kitchen when I hear a thud. Since Warren's been painting Reese's room, her mattress has found a temporary home resting up against one of the walls in the living room. I have a painting hanging on the same wall. . .and as I'm sure you may have guessed the thud was the mattress falling down, taking the painting with it. Reese went into "Reese panic mode." When she does something wrong and something that she thinks she'll get in trouble for, she starts crying really hard and yelling kinda loud, too. She was going on and on, and I thought she was just afraid of me getting on to her. Wrong!!!! When I got over her not minding me (I've been telling her all week not to mess with that mattress), I noticed that she was bleeding by her left eye. Seems the corner of the frame of the painting caught her on its way down. I immediately called Warren to come look at it, and yes, he said that we needed to go to the emergency room. No stitches he said--get them to use the dermabond. We had only been home fifteen or twenty minutes, and since Reese is such a mama's girl, she didn't want her daddy taking her.
So, we make the trip to the ER. We arrive around 11:40 or so. Reese is starting to calm down, a little after having been so hysterical when we mentioned that she had to go to the doctor. We sit for a few minutes and they call us back to triage. Great, this isn't going to be too bad of a wait. They take all of our information and send us back to the waiting room. We don't get out of the waiting room until 12:30. We don't see a doctor until 1:00 or after. And when we do, she has to clean Reese's cut, to which Reese totally freaks out. Once it's clean, the doc tells me that it really should have a stitch or two. No way--give us the dermabond. She tells us that Reese could pull it off and we'd be back a square one. That's when I'll superglue it myself! (just kidding--don't anybody freak out or anything!) There just was gonna be NO WAY that Reese would sit still for stitches. Reese freaked out when they put the dermabond on her. The doc thinks that if I lie on the bed with Reese that it'll calm her down. Those little bitty ER beds barely hold one person, but to try to make things easier on my girl, I climb up. A nurse and I had to hold her down pretty hard so she would be still--not a very easy thing to do with a very angry and scared three year old. The whole time she kept crying and looking at me saying, "Mommy I love you. I need a hug" over and over again. Talk about my heart hurting. There was nothing I could do to take her pain and fear away--I was reminded what helpless feels like. Once, the doc was done, Reese was fine. She was ready to come home. There's a picture posted below of her eye! She is just a real little trooper. Hopefully this will be the last ER trip for a while--not gonna say forever because there's absolutely no telling what this youngun will get into! :)
Reese was given a carton of OJ at the ER, and she drank on it on the way home. She kept drinking once we got inside, but she hasn't quite figured out yet that we can't leave things in the floor since Anna & Maggie have started crawling. Maggie headed straight for the OJ and turned it over on herself and the floor. Boy this day just couldn't get any more strained, could it? ]
But overall it was a fun homecoming. We had been home about an hour or so when it started snowing!!!!!! :) Huge flakes were coming down and it wasn't just flurries. It was more snow falling from the sky than I have ever seen down here. Of course, it didn't stick or anything, but I think it was Reese's first time to see snow, so she and I bundled up and went out to let it fall on us. She ran all around the backyard telling the snow to come get her. She is such a sweet, darling little girl. I love her so!!!!
Hope everyone got to at least see the snow. It was so pretty! Hope you all have a great rest of the weekend! :)

Check Out the New Banner
Hey all! Hope you like the banner at the top of the page! Thanks to my cuz, Jenny, and her creativity for making it for me! I LOVE IT!!!! She picked the greatest pictures of the girls to use on it. I wish I had Jenny's creative spark; it's just not in me. She does give me some ideas through all of the things on her blog, so I hope she doesn't mind my stealing them. :) Anyway, for some reason I cannot get the banner to have just a single frame of the picture. My measurements just aren't coming out right, but I was dying to post it on the blog, so there it is! Since I'm so crazy about my girls, I don't really mind seeing their faces more than once! I've got some new pictures to post, but I haven't downloaded them to the computer yet. Hopefully I can do that either tonight or definitely sometime this weekend, when I'm not unpacking and arranging all the mess here. But like my daddy said today, we've set up house here and aren't gonna be moving for a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time (hopefully) so there's plenty of time to unpack! And, he's right! I also had a chance yesterday to upload some pictures of Warren and Reese to the myheritage site, and their results are funny, too. I'll try and get them posted later. See ya! :)

Which Celeb Are You?
OK. . .here I go stealing from Jenny's blog again, but this seemed like fun (and I had a minute to spare). I went to the site www.myheritage.com and followed the directions. For those of you who don't check Jenny's site, this myheritage thing lets you upload pictures and they tell you who you look like. Jenny and I did the celebrity comparison. I used two pictures, and here are my percentages for the first pic:
Paris Hilton 55%
Mira Sorvino 54%
Annette Bening 54%
Sofia Coppola 53%
Angelina Jolie 50%
Demi Moore 44%
Nicole Kidman 43%
These are the results of the second picture:
Cate Blanchett 62%
Demi Moore 56%
Shania Twain 54%
Mira Sorvino 54%
Keira Knightley 52%
Jodie Foster 50%
Cameron Diaz 49%
Hilary Duff 49%
This was just too funny. Guess it's good that there were a couple of repeat celebs in both sets of results. I am always taking pictures, so I don't have too many of myself to use as subjects. Since this was just a hoot to do, I'm going to send pictures of Warren and Reese too, just to see who they might resemble.

Just a Quick Post!
I took a couple of new pics last night of the girls. Excuse Reese's hair--she desperately needs a haircut. That may be our together outing tomorrow. :) I don't know if any of you can tell or not, but it's getting more and more difficult telling Anna & Maggie apart. (Anna's on the left) I love the sweet smile that Maggie's making in the shot on the right! They are all just too cute! I love them all! There is most definitely NEVER a dull moment around here!
