Happy St. Patty's day!

Green Pancakes

Leprachaun kisses during the night!

My teeth are sprouting!

Last night Hallie woke up a few times, which is pretty rare for her. She came into bed with us and told me that her tooth hurt. I thought maybe she had a loose tooth. In the morning she told me that her mouth felt funny so when I took a look inside sure enough there was something going on in there. Her six year molars were starting to break through! When I told her, she got so excited and ran into the bathroom to see for herself and exclaimed, "My teeth are sprouting!" For the rest of the day she kept saying, " I can feel them sprouting up just like flowers!"

What's going on today?

A little of this and a little of that. That's what.

Playing Barbies with this girl

Time for Barbie to go to school.

Big messes in the basement

Trying to prepare my lesson for Young Womens on Sunday.

Naptime under the rug

And a whole lot of this. Yuck! I don't mind washing the clothes, it's just that folding part. I havn't folded the clothes for over a week!

Since I'm trying to make my blog more of a journal for me, I need to write some of the things that they girls have said lately before I forget...
The other day we were at lunch at Wendy's and I don't remember what Jake said to Sadie, but she replied, "Dad, are you kidding me?"
Now she says it all the time. She also loves to call me a "silly goosie".
She's been going to Early Intervention this year. My good friend works there and invited Sadie to be a "peer tutor" (funny). She loves going and having something to talk about and look forward to. A couple weeks ago they were learning about the letter "B" and the buh buh buh sound. So now she'll say words and put the buh buh buh sound with it. Like she'll say, "buh buh Halllie", "buh buh Mommy". It's really cute.
Hallie is loving school as well and is reading so well. I'm so amazed at how fast she has caught on to reading. It's really cool to see her make out the words.
Last night, when I was putting her to bed, she said, "Do you know what my favorite thing to do is Mom? To be with you. Sometimes when I'm at school I miss you."
My heart melted.
I love how kids say exactly what they feel and there's no holding back. Their hearts are pure and filled with so much love that is unconditional. I learn so much from them and feel so blessed to be able to be their mother. There really is no other joy that can compare. Yes, it is hard work and exhausting day in and day out, but it so worth it.

 

Morning Workout

This was my workout today, pushing 80 pounds of cuteness around the block twice. Because that's all I could do. Hallie rode her scooter around the block one time while I ran because that's all she could do.

I felt the burn let me tell you. As I was pushing my babies, I realized that they really aren't babies anymore and I felt a little sad. Seriously where does the time go?

Love notes from ???

Hallie just learned about Question marks. She's been having fun writing mysterious notes for us.
