Park Day!

A friend of mine organized a park date, so I let the girls ditch school so we could make it! The weather was perfect! (it was a little windy, but not too bad) This is the only picture I got of the girls. Claire was on that swing for the ENTIRE time we were there! She finally has learned how to swing herself! Carlie was on the swings for a while, but then went and played on the slides. The right side of Claires face is sunburned, since she didnt leave that spot!

Princess Day

The girls had 'Princess Day' at dance! (Claire is in the back, 2nd from the right, in the Sleeping Beauty dress, Carlie is on the bottom row, 3rd from the right in the Cinderella dress)
Both girls enjoyed being able to prance around in their dresses! They sure love Miss Lori!

I just love this little girl!!

This would be Carlie! I just want to eat those cheeks!! She is just so much fun. She talks a LOT with her hands. She will kind of draw stuff in the air, to show you want she is talking about. She also LOVES her stuffed animals. The names that she comes up with just make me giggle. Cuppy, bun bun, sophie, cheesy cheese, are just a few of the names I can think of. EVERY single day before school, she asks me to 'take good care' of whatever animal she is attached to that day. some days I totally forget, and Carlie will find the stuffed animal right where she left it, and get mad at me for taking good care of her animal! I love her little personality!

22 Weeks

22 Weeks. Im still feeling really good! I dont have any complaints really. I am having some issues with my allergies right now, but they arent THAT bad. Sleeping is getting a little more uncomfortable, but I know its only going to get worse, so I shouldnt start complaining yet! I've only gained around 13lbs, so im pretty happy with that as well. Id like to stay below 30lbs, but we will see how that goes!

We are having a hard time with deciding on a name. For a LONG time I really liked Clayton. (I still really like it) BUT, having Claire, Carlie and Clayton, is a huge mouthful. I was trying to say all three names in the same sentence, and I kept messing up. So, im not sure about using that name. I like the name Cooper, but Aaron isnt a huge fan of it. Other than those 2 names, I dont really have any others that I am in love with.

Happy St. Patricks Day!!

I had to hurry and snap a picture of the girlies before they went to school! These little girls are just too cute!
And these are the little bows I made for them last night. So cute!

BFF's

(please excuse carlies mean face. shes upset because she really wanted to be in bed)

Claire and Carlie really are best friends. They are kind to one another, they help eachother out, they miss eachother when they are separated (Carlie went to school without Claire since she was sick) Today in the bathtub, Claire said to Carlie "You sure are my bestfriend!" It was just too cute! I sure love these little girlies!

Snow? In March?

Our weather has been a little CRAZY lately! We've had a TON of rain this year. Today we got some snail. (snow/hail) There wasnt a ton, and it didnt stick for long, but it sure was fun to watch!

Rebels!

Saturday we went to the last Rebel game of the regular season. The girls LOVE the Rebels, and both have mentioned they want to be Rebel Cheerleaders! It wasnt a very exciting game, both girls ended up falling asleep in the 2nd half. (shoot, I would have fallen asleep too, the game was sooooo ... blah!)

My New Friends!

I bought the Shark Steam Mop from Target yesterday, and I LOVE IT! It makes mopping so much easier! (p.s. its on sale for $59 right now) I was just talking with my friend about how gross mopping is. It didnt make sense for me to rinse my mop in dirty water, then put it back on my floor! And most floor cleaner that i've used have left a grimy feeling on the floor. So, I was pretty impressed with the Shark. I've mopped every inch of tile in my house!

I cant find a picture, but our old vacuum died a while ago, and we finally got a new one last month. Its amazing. (Its a Bissell) I love seeing how much lint/dust it picks up each time I vacuum! And I vacuum a LOT! (pretty much everyday!) I love seeing the lines in my carpet.

Private or Not Private???

I have been debating on going private for a while, but I just cant seem to actually bring myself to do it. I dont care how many readers I have so thats not holding me back. I guess I dont feel like putting forth the effort to do it... But, I do want my family safe! Sooooo ... send me your email, just in case I do decide to go for it.

FINALLY!!

For the past week and a half the girls have been sick.

Carlie stayed home from school all of last week, she had a nasty cough, fever, and what seemed like a cold. I kept giving her Motrin and trying just about everything under the sun for her cough. NOTHING WORKED. I slept very little last week, due to her coughing all night long, and her waking up because her fever came back.

Thursday Claire started getting the same symptoms. Fever and cough. Friday morning I took them to the Dr. and sure enough, they both had ear infections. They FINALLY started feeling better Monday morning. Claire had a fever up until yesterday. Both girls are still coughing a LOT, and NOTHING seems to soothe it, but at least they are acting like they are feeling better!

Tomorrow they are going back to school! They are so ready to be away from the house. And I sure as heck need a break too!

So much to do!

I feel like there is so much to do before the baby comes. I know I have a while, but I want to be prepared. I doubt I will deliver as early as I did with the twins, but you never know how early I'll actually deliver.

Yesterday I started cleaning out the play room. The playroom will be the baby room. The twins have out grown a LOT of their toys, and we dont need to keep very many. I'll of course keep their kitchen set, doll house, and they have started liking Littlest PetShops, so I'll be keeping those too. Today I was able to narrow down what is being kept, and I think it will all fit in their room just fine!

I also sorted through 6 large bins of girl clothes, that we have kept over the last 4 years! I have a HUGE pile of stuff to give to DI, and a pile for my cousin, and a pile for one of Aarons co workers. It'll be nice to get those things out of the way!

With the 3rd room almost clear, I want to set up the crib and swing! I need to donate or sell our other crib, crib mattress and a few other things. Then I'll get to start looking for baby boy stuff to decorate with!

There is so much to do! Im so excited though!
