So, It's been awhile...

My life has been, well, mildly crazy.  It seems that I have very few hours in the day to accomplish work, family time, cleaning, cooking, prepping for bed, baths, bills...life.  (even if J does more than half of it).

We are loving our new home...and I will someday send out new address cards - it will probably be combined with our Christmas card...if I get that out.  We have  great neighborhood full of friendly neighbors and kids for M and E to play with.  I love having MY home to decorate for the Holidays, and a home for inviting friends and family to for said holidays.

M and E never stop changing and growing, and I can't get enough of them. (ok, some days, I've totally had enough, but in general...)

M is doing so great in First grade; she is a SUPERB reader and truly enjoys learning.  She is still her shy self, but making friends and having fun.  Such attitude is attached to a 6 year old - such a suffering little soul she has!  She is still a total daddy's girl. Her new quote: "I know, right?"

E is so much fun!  Typical 3 (almost FOUR!) year old boy - cars, dirt, tantrums, and "I'll do it" attitude.  He is a total momma's boy - he tells me on a regular basis, 2-3 times a day: "Mom...I love you."  He is trying to keep up with his sister's wit, but she knows how to let a boy down.  M: "no.  NO Ethan. No, that's not right"
E: "Moooom.  M says I'm wrong.  I'm not wrong."  (well, baby boy, you in fact are) :)

I love them.  I love my husband.  I love my house.  I have a pretty great job.  I don't have much to complain about...but I do. Complain that is. (currently my complaint is waking up to 6 puppies worth of POO.)

Stranger Danger

Ok. So, we've talked to M about strangers a bit, telling her to be safe and what not. A couple of times she brings it up when we say no she can't do something and she says "because there are stangers?" or some such. We haven't talked about it recently, but apparently the message stuck: We were at Wal-Mart, had just finised checking out and J went to use the restroom and M wanted to get a drink from the water fountain -I was still a few steps behind, so M said "Mom will you come a little bit closer?" and I said yes, and she continued "because you wouldn't want a stranger to grab me." I smiled and said "No I wouldn't like that." And she said "You would say 'oh no! someone has taken my child!" At which point I couldn't help but laugh and tell her how much I loved her.

End of the week

This week has been lots of fun. J's mom, step-dad, sister and nephew all came to stay with us for the week. We've had a lot of fun visiting, playing games, and swimming. I'm so glad they came to visit us, aaallll the way from Idaho! We're lucky they had the time and all came! They are leaving in the morning because his step-dad has to work sunday afternoon! Crazy wonderful people. On another note, tomorrow J and I will have been married 3 years. I can hardly believe it's been three years....absolutely wonderful. I have never made a better decision in my life!

bribe

We had a fun weekend - we went to the zoo which was having family fun day, and then we went to the dog show (both of which were free). Then on Sunday we went to Greg & Robin's to see their new puppies, and they are stinkin' cute! And Greg BBQ'ed for us - yummy! At one point, while we were hanging out at their house, Robin sat down on the couch and asked M if she was gonna come sit by her, and M said: "I will sit by you if you get me a drink of water." (as she was climbing up on the couch next to her). And this would be the first time I have heard her use a bribe (and certainly not the last) - I told her maybe she should ask instead and she got embarassed.
