Oh my! That is quite a day! And, it's only 4:30! I say you use the valentines candle to burn the super-cute-yet-dismissed tutu dress and call it a day! :)

I just try to remind myself that they're only 2 for a year! :)

Hey, we were up at 4:30 this morning, too! Though, I guess that' technically 6:30 you're time, so I guess that doesn't count :) Hugs!! Hope you get some rest tonight!

Good grief! I was exhausted from your day by 7:30 am! I sure hope tomorrow is better (or the rest of today for that matter!)
