Friday, November 22nd

I was so excited to find an RSVP this afternoon when I got home from work! John was the first one to RSVP! I was so worried no one would come on such short notice. Hopefully all of Lauren's friends will come, and she will have a great party! We had a great evening! The weather was beautiful! 70 degrees in November! Steve and Kate played while I fixed pizza. I love how she likes for us to "bite" her fingers so cute!

I love my baby monitors. I can’t imagine not having them, and I wonder how long we will use them. Probably until the girls are 5 years old? Today I was napping (since I worked 12 hours the night before). Steve and Lauren were watching TV getting ready for her nap, and I had just put Kate down for her nap. As I drifted off to sleep I listened to the sweet sounds Kate was making. I just smiled as I listened to her sucking her little thumb. She is at such a sweet, adorable age right now and has been for a long time-ever since she was born! On the other hand I think we can see some light at the end of the tunnel with the terrible 3’s with Lauren. As she gets closer to 4 it definitely is getting easier! Lauren ended up napping with me, and I think we both got a decent nap! Then we all went out back to play after naps. It was a beautiful day! Warm and sunny! Steve planted the pansies that we bought earlier in the day while I drank coffee and watched the girls frolicking in the backyard! (I had to load up on caffeine to prepare for my second and last 12 hour night shift!) Kate can climb up the ladder and go down the slide all by herself! Of course we supervise her very closely!

 

 

 

 

 On a side note we went out earlier in the day to get the flowers from Home Depot. I also got some goodies at Michaels! (I had to pick up some yarn for pom poms which worked! Also had to get some mini clothespins for my chicken wire photo board.) Then we picked up lunch at Arbys. Steve and I are really digging their new Beef Brisket smokehouse sandwich. They are expensive but SO good! The girls also seem to like their roast beef sandwiches. It makes for a fun and easy meal! I am excited because I am over halfway through my shift and off for the next two days!

Saturday Night!

I love that my awesome hubby is doing this on his Saturday night!

Yep, we are making a Frankenstein jar on November the 2nd! At least we will have it for next year. Occupational Therapy was one of the best things that ever happened for us!
