Happy Birthday, Baby!

Today, Laura turned four. She's getting so big, and learning so much! She answers most of the questions Maddy gets asked during lesson times. Here's a photo taken this morning, of the birthday girl in all her glory.

Maddy's first day of school...

Today was her first day of school, and she's off. She'll actually be home in just over an hour. She woke up at 6:30, all excited and ready to go. Took her shower, got dressed, and ate some donuts that Grandma and Pa brought. Then, Memere and Dziadziu got here, and we went out to wait for the bus. The following video is her getting on to the bus. I cried. Just a little.

Laura fell off the couch at my mom's house, and got this. I think it may become a black eye in a day or two. We'll see...

They've both been so funny today, that it's hard to pick just one thing. Maddyson at one point looked at her uncle Kyle and said "Hahaha, you're so funny!" and slapped her knee. That made us all laugh really hard.

Kyle is here overnight, and will be going with us to see Gg in the morning. Be back tomorrow!

Um... There's really no denying who Laura's father is...

Today Laura looked at me and said "Where's that pink car that I saw last Saturday?" Uh... What? She cracks me up. They both do. Today, Maddy has been super helpful, cleaning their room and making their beds. It made up for her spraying febreeze on the bookcase and ripping up a catalog on the floor of my bedroom. Why she felt the need to bring the catalog in there to rip it up, we may never know.

Currently, Jake is working a double. He'll bring the girls to my mother's house when he gets home, and then go straight to bed so that he can go back to work tonight. The girls will be home first thing tomorrow morning, and then in the afternoon, Uncle Kyle will come over to spend time with us all.

Today we stayed in. The girls were given an "ultimatum" yesterday. If they didn't behave, we didn't leave the house today. Well, they didn't, so we didn't. I wanted to go do laundry today, but couldn't very well go back on my word. Should have thought that one through a little better.

I didn't take a photo today, because it completely slipped my mind, to be honest. The girls were very well behaved though. Laura spent a lot of time practicing her name, and Maddy was "cooking" with their play kitchen off and on all day.

My migraine is gone, but it left me very tired today so I didn't accomplish much.

Tomorrow, we'll be going to Gramma's in the morning to do laundry and visit Uncle Kyle because he got home from college tonight. Later in the day, we'll be going to visit Memere and Dziadziu. The girls will be spending the night with them, so there won't be a blog post for Saturday.

My Apologies

For not posting yesterday. I had a migraine and nearly nothing got accomplished. Today we're all in better spirits, so there should be a decent post tonight/tomorrow morning about today. :)

Today was a rough day, so there are no photos. I was very productive. I got a lot of cleaning done, and knitting accomplished while the girls ate lunch and napped. But then, worlds collided, and Maddyson has been extremely difficult. She doesn't want to behave, or do anything besides yell, scream, and stomp.

Excitement for today? Laura can write her name! :)
