My sweet girls!

I think every mother has moments when she thinks.....OY!! But let me tell you, this weekend has not been one of mine. My girls have been so GREAT! I wish I had more pictures to document what we did and what great sports they have been. We have been trying to make it a girls week with lots of fun and partying when we can. Yesterday we went to pick out their easter dresses. This is actually fun for Laney because she can try 0n a gazillion dresses and twirl in them. After all that, we actually decided on one. Very cute...I love them. Then the kids went and played on the playground in the mall. After all, they need a little play time don't you think? It is really a highlight for them when we go to the mall.

Don't you love spring colors!

Then we went to go and get material for Chloe's tutu. We made one for Laney on Friday, which I have been meaning to get a picture of and Laney decided Chloe needs to have one. And then we went to look at shoes, but were unsuccessful there....but the kids were good! We did all that in 2 hours which is really good for us. Then they took their naps and when they woke up...that's when the party began!

We went to the aquatics center and swam for 2 hours. Laney we so excited, she had her own bag packed, with her princess towell and everything! And the kids just swam and swam. Chloe had on arm floats and discovered that she can just float on her stomache. So where ever we went, she would just float on her tummy and kick. So cute. And Laney started working on her strokes. Oh...and Laney was so cute. They have a slide there that the kids can go on so she would hold Chloe's hand and help her up there so I could stay at the end to catch them. Chloe loved following sister. I really wish I would have gotten pictures of that. But that meant getting out of the pool in a swimsuit and chancing that my camera would get wet with all the splashing that was going on. Not going to happen.

So after that the kids just crashed. But Laney decided she was going to sleep behind my bed (it is backed into a corner so their is some space there) like a campout. She looked so peaceful down there. Then she came and slept with me somewhere in the night. But during the night, I must have caught a bug at the pool or something because I was SICK....UGHH!

And that is where we are today. SICK. I have to get better because Michael won't be home for another 3 days and the kids need their mom. But the cutest story...I was taking a bath trying to ease the sickness when Chloe decided she wanted in...then Laney. So we were all sitting in the bath playing when they decided they both wanted out. So Laney went and got a diaper for Chloe, dried her off, put lotion on her and then put her diaper on. She is getting so grown up! And she insisted we go to church today...so I got everyone ready sort of dreading it and even though I was sick, the girls were soooo good! What more could I ask for. They just sat in their seats. I don't think that has ever happened. They must know mommy misses daddy too and really needs to get better also!

So what is Michael up to? He is missing his girls and enjoying Hawaii. Here are some pics of his side of the island.

I am having issues with the pics, so i will post them when blogger decides to work with!

March is here!

I tell you, it seems like the days just fly by. And I have to admit, I would blog more if I weren't so darn lazy! I'm going to have to get over that. Really it is just the resizing of the pics...but all is well, we have tons to show today.
So Michael is away for a week, which wouldn't be so bad except it includes a weekend...so it is from Tues-Wed and that is a very long time. We like having him around a little too much. But we are trying our best to have fun.
Our first event was Laney's first date...not really, but it was sure cute. Our neighbor, who I guess is going to be the boy Laney marries (her prince charming for now) came to pick her up in his cadillac (he rides in style) and they took a spin around the neighborhood having a blast. They are so cute when they play in their cars. They take turns driving each other and even make room for the Chloe-meister some times. So here are some pics from that.

here's the lucky boy.
Our second adventure was Laney's field trip to the Planetarium. They had a lot of fun there. Chloe LOVED the movie that we watched, Laney was a bit scared. It was so realistic that she actually thought we had left Earth and were exploring the universe. I have to admit, it was pretty realistic. I at times thought we were actually moving.
After the movie, we went to explore the museum. The kids had fun walking on Mars.

And the moon.

And seeing the space suit was pretty neat. They could look into telescopes at the moon and planets. It was a fun place to go. We also saw a big map where the kids all did a pose. Look at Chloe...she is so funny. She so thinks she is one of the big kids and they are pretty good at including her. So funny. And she is a climber!! She is going to check out the world.

After that we went to lunch with Michael. That was fun for the girls to go see him during the day. They always like to visit him.
Oh...and I promised pics of the girls and their basketball hoop but instead I got the one that uses it the most. We need to get him a real basketball hoop!
SO lately it has been a little too cold to go out and play but the kids are sick and tired of being cooped up. And it looks so decieving because it looks SO beautiful outside. So here are a few pics, they look out of focus because I was playing with my new camera and its features. Chloe and her glasses and gloves. That's all she needs.laney dancing in the morning.
Oh, and Chloe has decided that eating at the table is highly overrated. She has discovered a better way...whatever works.
Our days are pretty eventful as you can see. Between the Library days, Preschool, playdates...who has time to get bored :) But we miss our daddy and that is really why you all get the run down because we are updating Michael. By the way, last Tuesday I had a mishap with my hair. It got butchered. It was very traumatic in our house...but today, we got it fixed and life is good. I am no longer on suicide watch lol! J/k

So I am sending a picture to me hubby to let know...all is well and it looks GOOD! It is safe to come home again :) Love you babe!
