I'm Back Too!

Ok, so it’s been a long time for me too. I swear I will try and get better about writing. Life just gets in the way sometimes. So, I’ve been really busy with work. Had a couple of major things on my plate and I’m going on vacation in 15 days so I’m trying to push them through. I’ve done pretty well with them too. And then there is the family. My girls seem to be growing so fast now! It gets faster as we get older I think. I took the twins to see Body World 3 and Makenna loved it. She didn’t want to leave. She is enthralled with the body and how it works. Shelby on the other hand thought it was cool, but was ready to leave about 2/3 of the way through. Makenna might be a doctor when she grows up. 


In a coule of weeks we are going to Texas to see family. We will be there for Easter, which will be nice. Spending the first couple of days with my mom and then on to my grandparents for about 9 days. We will be driving, so that will be fun with 2 5 year olds and an almost 3 year old. Hopefully it won’t be too bad. I am really looking forward to seeing my grandparents. We haven’t seen them since Thanksgiving of 2009. It’s been way too long.

To piggyback on something Melissa was talking about. Arguing with her daughter. My 5 year olds have started this. Shelby has started her own version of negotiation. She wants what she wants and will do what she can to get it. Last night for example. We had chicken and green beans for dinner. She ate it all and then wanted some cereal or a cake pop. I told her if she was still hungry she could have more chicken and/or green beans. No, she wanted cereal or a cake pop. I asked her if she was really hungry. She said yes, then I told her again, chicken and/or green beans. She threw herself on the couch and said she didn’t’ want that. After they had their shower a little later (and it was my turn) she came into the bathroom and said that she wanted a PB&J. I told her her we didn’t have any bread. So, her next choice was an apple. I finally relented. Fine, have the apple. I mean, my goodness. It wears you out. I can only imagine what my hubby goes through on a daily basis since he stays home with them. God bless him.
