It's a hard life

Of all the days my daughter actually decides to sleep in, she chooses the one that we have to wake up and get going! She's usually up between 7-8 but was content to sleep longer today! Unfortunately we had an appointment this morning so I had to go in and wake her up at eight, she was less than thrilled! She finally stopped glaring at everyone when I told her we were gonna go take a shower. But her contentment only lasted for a moment. I must be the meanest mommy in the world because I broke her poor little heart by informing her that "Dot Dot" couldn't take a shower with us. She was devastated and went and told on me to daddy. Poor Holly. We managed to rescue our poor "Dot Dot" right after we got out though!

Love our Lindsey!

Lindsey is such a funny girl! Today she told me that she wanted to "sit down on a scooter"! Which is quite funny since she hasn't riden her scooter at home since this past summer when we could go outside. So I went and got it and she has been scooting all over the house! I think she's having fun.

What a nice day!

It has been such nice weather lately that I have taken to waiting outside and pulling weeds with Holly while we wait for Lindsey to get home from school. It's been such nice weather lately that the front of my house is actually starting to look nice again! Holly also loves it because I actually allow her to play in the dirt! LOL Today was such a nice day that the whole family got to be outside! Lindsey came home and sat and talked with Holly and me while I kept pulling weeds, and then daddy got home from school and helped out! We did have a little scare though, while Holly was helping me pull weeds, we found a fire ant mound and I didn't realize it until they were all over her shoes. I grabbed her up pulled her socks, shoes, and pants off and inspected for ants. Luckily I caught it fast! That was the end of pulling weeds and playing outside, I put the girls in the house and Kyle and I gathered up all the weeds and leaves that we had piled up. We got inside and once again I was a little worried because Holly wasn't in the front room where I'd left her. I walked back in the front living room to find her in the window talking to the dogs. She was so cute, and then Kyle started getting on to her! I couldn't figure out what she had done she looked so Innocent talking to the puppies! Turns out she had come in and started playing his football game (PlayStation) that he had started. She's a booger!

Holly's noises

Oh, our Holly. She has really started talking and making some fun noises. She now officially knows what a cow say's, yes with the 'M' and all, and makes sure to point out every cow she see's, and every once in a while a horse or dog that she thinks should also 'Moo'. Daddy has also started a new noise with Holly and to be honest I don't know what he was thinking! She has a new fascination with belly buttons, and when she first found daddy's, his 'beeped'. They thought it was great fun at first but dad has since learned his mistake. While mommy and daddy happen to be talking Holly will come up stick her finger in daddy's belly button and when she receives no response, she will beep until he does.

Diapers off!

Holly is figuring out all kinds of new things. She's really proud that she can now get up on one of the couches all by herself by climbing on the luv sac first. So tonight while Kyle and I are watching TV she decides she wants to sit with dad who is laying on the couch. She climbs up and starts walking down the edge of the couch to sit closer to him when he reaches down to grab her and hold her. Surprise surprise dad, Holly has also learned how to take her diaper off and does it on occation when she is wet. So instead of grabbing a diaper dad grabbed a bare bottom! I think it might be time for potty training!

Children children!

Holly doesn't fight with her sister, she fights with the cat! Apparently Holly wanted the love sac and Pocono wasn't gonna give it! He was gonna nap there whether she liked it or not! She's not very good at not getting her way! LOL

Stinkin' Mormons trying to convert us again!

So I'm sitting here reading Maebeth's blog when the door bell rings. I run and answer it to find to missionaries in ties and name tags. I smile and say hello and they begin "Hello we are Christian missionaries out to spread the word about Jesus Christ, tell me ma'am do you believe in Christ?" and I smile back and say "why yes I do and as a matter of fact I'm actually Mormon". At this point they look kind of ashamed, and proceed to apologize for not looking up the members in the ward in the area. One is our new missionary and the other was an exchange because the senior missionary was sick. I laughed told him it was probably our fault for not feeding the missionaries enough. When I told Kyle who it was he said I should have invited them in and wait to see how long it was before they figured out we were members! With Christ picture, our sealing certificate, and the proclamation to the family all on our wall, I think it would have been funny to see, too bad we'll never know!
