Keeping it real

The highlight of today…

My team at work was having lunch at Steak and Shake, so I took the girls to meet them (keep in mind I work in the Finance department, and although a great group of people...we have our share of "stiff" personalities)! At first Ava was shy, and Katelyn just stared at everyone, but as the lunch progressed…my daughters kept it real...

  1. Katelyn’s diaper leaked while a co-worker was holding her. Oops.
  2. Ava began giving our CFO extreme force high fives (wind up included). He is a grandpa of 6, so I’m thinking he enjoyed it. But I had to tell her to lay off after a few heavy smackers.
  3. Katelyn entertained everyone by blowing raspberries (and peas) out of her mouth. Laughter only encouraged her and before I knew it, her face (and the table) was caked in peas.

All I can say is that us Fighter girls wanted to bring some humanity to lunch today.

Other than that, we enjoyed this beautiful weather (70 & sunny) and walked to the park with our neighbors. Katelyn has a new hobby of pulling her sister’s hair while riding in the stroller. Ava yells at Kate and Kate just laughs back, baring her 2 little teeth, like she knows exactly what she’s doing. The sibling rivalry has already begun!

The day ended relaxing with daddy and with Ava putting barrettes (which she calls pig tails) in my hair. A beautician in the making!

Anyways, we had a “real” fun day and hope that you enjoyed the same.

Keem! So glad to keep up with you all now via blogging. You're going to love it... The girls are adorable and sound like a riot. M and T would have joined right in making the lunch more "real". The girls probably made everyone's weeks, they're so cute... Blessings!

Words...

...Can't describe how much I love to hear my little munchkins speak their first words. Kate's been speaking new words every day...sentences (her favorite..."I got you"...followed by a cheeky grin and laugh). It really is one my favorite things about being a mom...watching them learn new things, speak new words, do new things. Not much can compare. Even Ava's 50 billion questions in a row..."Mommy...how does the sun go down?" or "Daddy...how does it rain"...followed by 50 more "why's" and "how's". I don't think I could ever get tired of that! We snapped a quick movie of Kate's speaking her word for Grandpa..."Pee-paw". Yes...she calls him "Pee-paw".

Squeaky Sue

After 6 days with a sore throat and a gradually fading voice, my voice box decided to call it quits today. I didn't realize until I called my dad up this morning at 8am for some guidance on a utilization calculation for work, opened up my mouth, and....nothing! So...this was a dilemma. Husband out of town. No voice. Two demanding children. Hmmmm. But we made it through today. With some squeaking, a lot whispering, some "mom" grimaces (and smiles too)...we made it through. Ava kept saying..."mom, talk loud" and at times got frustrated, but by the end of the day she was so cute and whispering with me. I explained to her this morning that my voice was sick which was why I had to whisper...and then later in the day she started asking..."voice feel better mom?" She also just thought it was so hilarious when I put her to bed, whispering her prayers, Jesus Loves Me, The B-I-B-L-E and Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer (our nightly bed-side routine for about the p...

Meeting Baby Colin & Sibling Rivalry & Roosters

The highlight of today..meeting baby Colin...new bundle of joy to our good friend's Jenn & Brian. He is adorable to say the very least and Jenn & Brian are naturals! Of course when you go to a new baby's home you want nothing but to bring a peaceful visit. I don't know what we were thinking bringing our 1 & 2 year old kids (sorry Jenn & Brian!). As soon as we got there, Ava & Kate started full fledge fighting over who got to sit on my lap. After numerous girl screams, hair pulling (mostly by Kate), pushing (mostly by Kate) and knees to my stomach (Ava)...my husband, who was sitting across the couch laughing, finally came to my rescue...for them only to crawl right back to me and start the whole thing all over again. The girls have desperately been vying for my attention lately...much to Doug's comedic relief (and honestly sometimes...to my wits end). I just keep reminding myself that there will most likely come a day when my girls will outwardly wan...
