Fun day with my girls...

What a fun day to ring out my favorite month of the year...

7am...work & coffee (I love my coffee!)

8:30am...girls up, breakfast, playtime (and a little bit of laundry)

10:30am...Depart the Fighter residence for what turned out to be a four hour outing with the girls that included rare shopping trips at Old Navy & Macy's, lunch at Chick-fil-A, play-time at the mall playground, and gummies from the candy shop. Some favorite moments...

  • Ava trying to try on clothes with me in the Old Navy dressing room. I looked over and she had 2 tank tops over her head and was asking for more. Where's the camera when you need it!

  • Kate rapidly throwing her hands up in the air with a big smile (her gesture for the so big game) after I finished telling Ava that she is going to be 3 and is getting "so big". Kate heard those 2 words and couldn't help herself. She repeated the "so big" gesture for about 3 minutes until it was time to leave...cracking herself up the whole time.

  • Ava being an extra doting big sis at lunch. She hopped off her chair and started scooting Kate's highchair toward her. When I asked what she was doing, she replied..."I want Kate to sit right next to me." Love it!

  • Kate walking at the playground...she's getting better and better each day, but still cutely unstable and wobbly.

  • Ava grabbing Kate's hand to help walk her over to a "rock" at the playground, saying sweetly..."come on Kate".

3pm...Girls down for nap...work for mommy...

6:15pm...Kate swimming lesson. Kate loves the water. She drinks up 1/2 the pool when we're there and shouts "yay!" at the top of her lungs at random points during the "lesson". I love this 1 on 1 time with her!

6:55...meet Doug at Home Depot parking lot to trade girls and car.

7pm...Me time at church in my Attributes of Godliness bible study. Love this class! We began discussing wholeheartedness tonight, and will focus on this for the next 3 weeks.

9pm...home sweet home. I love home. Especially after a busy day!

Ava's First Day of Kindergarten!

Image
Ava woke up and looked at me with her big brown eyes and asked..."is today the day I get to ride the bus to school?" She beamed when I said yes. Her countdown finally complete! Good nights sleep. Lunch made. Bag packed. Favorite dress from Grammy on. Favorite shoes from Grandma - check.  Breakfast eaten. Hair brushed. Eager kindergartner - check. Hugs for sisters.  And for Mom, Dad & Grandma too.  Ready to take on her first day of kindergarten.  I have never seen a little girl more eager to hurry down to the bus stop and determined to climb bus steps.  I barely got that hug!  I have always envisioned her first day of school to be harmonious - taking our time eating breakfast together, strolling leisurely down to the bus stop - lots of room for photo ops.  Harmonious?  3 under the age of 6...it was more of a pleasant frenzy...and went by faster than I would have liked! I am not going to pretend and say I wasn't a wee bit sad...I think the fast morning was a bit

Funny Kate.

I never knew what people were talking about..."terrible two's" when Ava was two/three (and before I write any more...I'm going to preface this...I absolutely love all my girls for their unique growth and personalities...they all bring me joy in different ways. I wouldn't change a single thing about any of them). If we told Ava "no" or not to touch something or do something...generally...she listened and followed through. Sweet little Kate however is very different. She is curious, determined differently than Ava, and knows what she wants. I could tell her 100 times not to do something, and she'll still do it. I never trust her alone...if she's quiet I know she's up to something (and she usually knows she's up to something too as she hides...but continues to do it anyways). This has all been challenging to say the very least, but consistency has been key, and we're working through it! Combine normal two year old antics with a wit that

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".
