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!
