Complaints and Advice from Laura & Liz

This morning was an interesting morning...I love my mornings with the girls. (Most of the time) This morning was a good one and funnier than usual. They both bounced out of bed and were quick to eat breakfast. The complaint came from Liz this morning because she can't understand what is taking the "Tooth Fairy" so long to come bring her money and pick up her tooth! You need to understand...this has been going on for a week now and no Tooth Fairy! I keep biting my lip to keep my smile under control. She has finally moved it out to the mantle on the fireplace so that maybe the dogs won't scare her! We've had the conversation before about the dogs maybe scaring the Tooth Fairy with Laura, because she is such a light sleeper and it is impossible to get to the tooth! So anyway, I'm hoping there is a reminder out there for the Tooth Fairy to come tonight!!

The next thing this morning was Laura letting me know I needed more eye makeup on...I guess I slept a little hard and definitely had bags under my eyes. They were rather obvious to Laura too! Her honesty is so innocent and I love how she cares about me! I know one of the days they both will be more critical, but for now I will take the nice advice! I love that the innocence is still there and I will miss it so when it's gone.

Spring!

I LOVE Spring...my favorite time of the year! Over, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Halloween, etc...July 4th is a quick 2nd though. There are many things I love about it...the smell of newly cut grass, the flowers blooming, listening to my kids playing outside, and raising my windows to let that wonderful fresh air in!

I also love Spring because everything is new again...the garden, my flowers, and the baseball season! I love the fresh beginning everything has and it popping out in all its glory. The new baby bunnies, baby birds, watching the Robins dancing in the yard. The 80 degree days! (speaking of which, we may have a couple this week!) Living in tornado alley, waiting for those severe storms that come with the season! Nothing better than hearing the thunder roll in the distance.

Spring Break has come and gone...it was a really good one even though we didn't do much. It was quiet in our home with not much drama. Just me, Kent, and the girls. Planted some lettuce, spinach, and peas in my garden only to have my lab puppy jump the fence and ruin my hard work! I was able to start some Spring cleaning and put some mulch out in the front yard.

Soccer season is about to start...my weekends full of sitting on the sidelines cheering my girls and their teammates to victory. Back to the hour and a half practices twice a week, plus the extra money in gas! But, would not trade a thing to see the joy and fun the girls have hanging out with their teammates! Which comes to another thing...Laura wants to do softball again this year. Do I or don't I? I know I should let her try all the sports she wants...It just ties up the summer!

Everyone in SW MO...get out and enjoy this beautiful weather we're going to have this week. I will probably even have to shave the legs and put on the shorts...ugh! What's your most favorite things about Spring?

Wow...where did February Go?

March 15, 2010

Well, I did what I said I wasn't going to do! I haven't been on here in a while and I said I wouldn't do that this year and I was going to put my best foot forward to keeping up with my blog. I was busy...soccer practice and games, seems like lots of homework to keep up with, and hanging out with family and friends! I started WW and have already fallen off the wagon and I need sooooo desperately for the weather to cooperate so I will feel like getting out and walking. I seem to get down whenever that scale isn't cooperating. I hit a plateau after just 6 lbs lost. I do find myself picking better things to eat...so there is a positive side in all of this frustration!

My Grandpa's 85th birthday was yesterday! Liz and I went to visit his grave the other day and we're the first to see his marker! I thought that was neat for Liz and I. Spring break starts this Friday...can't wait. Only if the weather will just give us some nice weather. I have often been told the nice warm spring weather doesn't start till after Easter...so we will probably end up having some snow or something!

March Madness has started...another sign that Spring is here! I love to pick my teams and complain when it doesn't pan out! The whole family usually does it...it's sooo fun to listen to the girls pick their teams! It's usually because of some kind of odd thing about the team!

I LOVE SPRING!!! It's my favorite time of the year!! My spirits are lifting...things are getting done! Before you know it school will be out! Here's too all of you and your making of wonderful Spring memories!
