Today was a good day

Yes, it was. In fact, I will go so far as to say it was a great week. Got some great new programs from Bebe, all our orders cleared customs "paperless", goods made it into the DC on time, and the lines are humming. Dave came up with some fantastic new designs for sportswear, got our website up and running (www.textilesdelmundo.com) and we are going to start our own line pretty soon. Things are looking up, my friends, things are looking up.

And the twins...well those little rascals are just about the most wonderful things I have ever laid eyes on. I will post some pics tomorrow but they are really growing up to be just lovely little ladies. They talk all the time and often to each other, which of course provides hours of entertainment to those lucky enough to hear them chatter away. "Linda, do you want some of my lolly-lop?" "Yeah, I do, thanks, Lucy." "Um, okay, but only a little bit for you, okay?" Seriously, it is so funny hearing them master the art of negotiation. They often refer to each other as "sister" now too, which just warms my heart, except for when they say, "Mommy, I don;t like my sister." But even that is cute.

I actually said something terrible to one of them yesterday which I regretted the second it escaped my mouth. One of the twins asked me for something absolutely ridiculous, I don;t remember what exactly, but I remember what I said: " Yes, sweet heart, you can have anything you want because I love you." Seriously, you look into those big brown eyes and see how easily you say "no".

Now you've done it... given toddlers carte blanche. "Anything you want because I love you" will one day translate into "you must not love me because you won't let me drive daddy's new Porsche. So what if I'm only 8?"

But yeah, it's got to be hard to resist their pleas.

Glad your Friday the 13th was good.

Liz, I'm so happy to hear that things are going so well! Hooray!

I love the L&L conversations--they are so lucky to have each other!

I'm excited about your great day and the good news about your latest Bebe shipment.

Linda and Lucy are so dang cute! They make me laugh.

Uh, I think that is the sign of a working mother. spend some full time with the kids and that will quickly change to, "NO, BECAUSE I SAID SO!"
