Thinking about...

I feel weird just writing with no pic for "show and tell". But I've been thinking about all the stuff that needs to get done before China and decided that I still can't go there (in my mind I mean, not China). So, I'm thinking about this week and this week only. I've injured my back somehow -probably from carrying both kids around all week - C was missing her daddy more than usually and needed some extra love. And my knee keeps locking up. I am accepting Miq's challenge with her to train for a half marathon - countdown 20 weeks -and I don't know if this funky body is going to go along with it. I decided that I was going to start the actual running again tomorrow, which is why my injuries are so prevelant today I'm sure. Its supposed to snow 12 inches tonight and thinking about the cold does not get me pumped either. Oh well, its a mental game I guess and I'm determined to do it. Maybe my DH will get snowed in, won't be able to go to work, and can watch the kids all day while I run!

Those special moments

Oh those special moments we have as parents! I love to watch these sisters together and see how much they really love each other! Even though they know how to press one another's buttons (and mine sometimes) they show unconditional love. It makes me miss my own sisters terribly!

My baby is a big girl

My baby is growing up right before my eyes it seems like. Today Big Girl C graduated to the big girl Sunday School at Church. She was a little hesitant at first (there are no toys in the big class) but she did great and I had a hard time trying to get her out of the classroom when church was over. Auntie Jess came with us for the big day and that made everything even more exciting!

To NAP..... to sleep for a short time; or a brief period of sleep. This is all I wanted to do today and I thought, 'My husband is home, I will be able to take a nap.' But as you can see, my children suddenly get the urge to "sleep" too. Why this doesn't happen, the urge for them to sleep I mean, when I want them to lay down in their own beds? I don't know.I also thought I could spend some quality time with my husband today. My kind of quality time- talking, not his- me watching him play X-box. I have to say that they have only come out with crazier things for me to compete with lately. My DH now wears a headset while he plays a live game with other strangers. Strangers who call themselves "Poopsniff" and "stinkeenutz". Boys are so sick, I mean please, do you have no shame? Anyway, this headset connects him to all the other players and throughout the day I keep asking him, 'what?', and then realize he is talking to these strangers, not me. Only after several shoutings of "watch my back" and "I need more ammo" did I finally get it.

New Year's Day

We had such a great New Year's Day because we did nothing at all. My DH and I just hung out and the kids played with us and each other all day. Here are some shots of them doing their favorite thing.... Reading!
