My Girls

I'm not doing a very good job of keeping up with this! Ben refuses to write because he's not really into blogging and he hates writing in general. The real reason though is that he thinks I could be making better use of my time doing things around the house! :)

Josie is fast asleep! She's an ANGEL! She starts to rub her little eyes and that's my signal to get her blankie and lay her in her crib and she's fast asleep in minutes!!! It's amazing! Macie on the other hand LOVES TO TALK!! She begs for stories each night! I made the mistake of letting her contribute to the story once and I think she realizes now that if she continues to interrupt then the story will be longer! It amazes me at how observant and inquisitive she is!! 2 years old is wonderful! I can understand why it's called the "terrible twos", but I love this age because she is learning every single moment of the day. She's talking like crazy, actually communicates in full sentences to tell us what she wants or what she is thinking, is constantly reading her books (making up her own words), sings at the top of her lungs, absolutely loves to dance to dance exercise videos, walks around in her princess attire (tiara, high heels, necklace, earrings, wand, dress, and more)...and the list goes on and on.

Each day is something different and that's what makes things fun!! I'm excited for Spring. Our family may have some new opportunities on the horizon which I can elaborate on later! I'm just excited to be able to spend some time this summer with Ben and my girls. Sometimes it's just so easy to get wrapped up in the motions of life. It's easier to just be content with how things are, but I've always had trouble with that. I usually have a new idea or plan before I'm even finished with the task at hand. I'm a big geek, but I can't help that I love organization and planning. It's very satisfying and I get excited about it! This is why I drive Ben crazy by rearranging things or planning things out to every small detail. It's kind of a joke between us now. As soon as I start to talk about something, Ben tells me to get my notebook so I can start making my list!! We've begun to realize lately just how opposite we are!! But, it works! He helps me to relax a little and I help him take things just a bit more seriously! :)

Well, I'm tired and have an early morning meeting tomorrow! Oh the joys of teaching! I'm kind of burnt out! If I could show up and teach my kiddos everyday then life would be great! But, meetings...meetings...meetings!! Oh well! Goodnight everyone!
