Bloggerpalooza 2009 from the sidelines

Last night Libba and I hosted a blogger reunion of sorts at the farm, and if you want to look at some of the wonderful moments my super-talented sister captured at the party, click here.

Wonder where I am in these? Oh, I was following my daughter around trying to prevent nuclear melt-downs all night. Because Taylor was being a bit, how shall I describe it, NAUGHTY. Enough to the point that Meghann's two and a half year old, Lilly, looked right at me and said, I'm NOT playing with that baby anymore. And I was all, Really, Lilly, I don't blame you. Because everything that Lilly touched - EVERYTHING! - Taylor would run over to, yell NO! and grab away from her. Even if it was Lilly's toy. Totally unacceptable behavior for a margarita party.



So while everyone else was strolling down memory lane and giving baby Luke squeezes, I was soothing emotional come-aparts of one very cranky toddler.





But at the end of the night, Taylor and Lilly decided to let bygones be bygones, and Miss Lilly even helped me give T her bath. Super sweet. And while I wish I could have spent more time chatting with all of you bloggers, thanks for showing your beautiful faces and sharing some tequila. I can't wait to see you all again next year!

I almost spit out my drink when I read what Lilly said! Oh, Brooke. That's funny.

It's hard to do Anything else when there is a cranky toddler around. BUT we've all been there. I'm sure you still enjoyed the party.
Seriously- next year, I'm there. And we're all getting Bloogerpalooza T-shirts.

Sad, sad that I missed! Looks like it was a great time with great ladies! Sorry to hear that Taylor was pulling a 2 1/2 year old stunt! :) I am so glad you are having such a great time home!

I agree with Steph AND I will be able to drink tequila too!
