Right Now
she:
1. is into saying “dear” and “honey” for some reason. she also likes to say “yes, my friend”. so so weird, and also hilarious.
2. is OBSESSED with princesses and mermaids. she has one princess dress that is now hidden b/c every single time she puts it on she turns into a raging fit-throwing you-know-what. so the dress is now hidden and we talk about how true princesses are beautiful on the inside, too. or as jimmy puts it “ifbeingaprincessmeansyouaregoingtoactlikeaspoiledlittlegirl,then YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BE A PRINCESSSSS!!!” haaaaaaaa.
3. is LOVING preschool. loving it. her preschool’s spaghetti dinner fundraiser/open house was last week and the preschool students sang for everyone. she was in the front row. she took a step out in front of everyone and sang every.single.word louder than everyone and did every.single.motion bigger than everyone. she’s a mess.
4. loves books and being read to. right now our favorite author is Mo Willems. books for kids with wit for adults? gotta love it.
5. is getting excited to move to georgia. she says it’s going to be a big “BENTURE” and she hopes that she will have lots of new friends there. i have no doubt that she will.
she:
1. is getting really frustrated with the fact that she’s not talking as much as she wishes she could. lots of sadie words, which kind of all sound the same…but she’s trying. harper just won’t let her get a word in edgewise. so she’s starting the back-arching crying kicking fits. awesome. i know she’s just frustrated, so we are working lots on “using our words”. AND NO HARPER, THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU!!!!
2. has a shoe fetish. wears my shoes all day long. leopard flats? check. black high heels? check (while vacuuming, no less). she’s truly obsessed with SHAS!!!
3. is still getting into everything. this morning? an ink pad. yesterday? i found an apple in the bathtub. as harper says…what in the WORD????
4. is TALL. really tall. 97th percentile tall. that’s my girl!!
5. has this beautiful, shaggy, thick hair. it looks like it’s been cut into a style, but it hasn’t. it’s the funniest hair ever. especially when she wakes up and it’s verrrry fluffy.
he:
1. won’t ever let me take a serious picture, hence this awesome pose.
2. is getting excited to work with the Rangers again.
3. has been such an amazing help with the girls while i’ve been sick (yes, still sick. it’s got to be some kind of a joke how long i’ve been sick, and with how many different things). he’s really the best daddy in the world, and i never ever get tired of watching him with them. they ADORE him.
4. has been watching GLEE with me every week and laughing at it in all the spots i do. and that makes me love him even more.
5. is sick with a cold..thanks to me. i’m sorry, j. 🙂
i:
1. am nervous about moving. excited, but nervous. it’s hard making new friends. and i want to make friends and stay for a while. and i want the girls to love it there and have lots of friends and a good school…just lots to think about.
2. am trying to start exercising and eating right again. fell off the wagon right before Disney, but i ran 2 miles w/ j the day before yesterday, and i’m trying to be thoughtful about what i eat. why does it have to be so HARD? heeee!!!
3. just finished the condition by Jennifer Haigh. Not my usual read, kind of depressing at times, but a really interesting look at family dynamics.
4. am listening to regina spektor lots right now. i love “samson” especially
5. just finished my second november SC layout.
life is good. love to you all. hope this post didn’t bore you too much!!!
