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!

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

Image
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...
