Funny lines from Megan

Me to Megan: Meg do you want some pie?
Megan : No. Thanks. I'm good.

Pete and I just looked at each other and tried not to laugh!

Saturday...

Today has been a very low key day. The girls and I have enjoyed our day together. (Pete is on a short trip). We decided today just to stick close to home. After our fun trip to Target yesterday that ended with pooh running down Madie's left leg while I tried to get her and Megan out of the car and up a flight of stairs without making a mess; a day at home seemed brilliant.

We started our day with waffles, covered with blueberries, strawberries, and whipped cream. Yummy. Unfortunaley that was just after 6 am. But today we all took naps. We watched Dora. We played with Megs princess dolls. Listened to music. Read stories. Cuddled. Looked at homes for sale online, and we did watch "Stranger than Fiction." Meg and I love that movie. She loves to talk about Harold Crick and his wristwatch. (I edit it for her. It is PG-13 after all) Tonight I taught Megan to play Jenga. She was surprisingly good. Madie practiced sitting and not reaching for the tower of Jenga blocks.

And today I decided to do nothing that didn't absolutley have to be done. I ignored the pile of laundry, I closed my eyes when I went into the bathroom I should have cleaned. I pretended the vaccum was broken and I enjoyed the under 36 inches population that seem to get the shaft when mom is trying to hard to get "stuff" done. Productivity ZERO, but I wish all Saturdays could be this fun and lazy.

Back at home in Florida

We have been home in Florida for a little less than a week and all I can say is "It is good to be home." And it is even better to have Pete back from his deployment safe and sound. We are looking forward to a summer full of fun outings and good family time. I am also going to take a couple cooking classes and also continue my quest to get in shape. I have had a little set back...time in Utah was brutal on my waistline, but I am recommitted to my goal of being in the best shape of my life by October 25th, my 30th Birthday. I got 3/4 of my exercising done this morning before my girls woke up.

The girls are doing well. Madie is still pretty calm and sweet. Megan is still smart and sassy. They handled all our travels and time with family pretty well. And already Meg is asking when we get to go to Grammy's house again. This is good since we will be spending all of November and December there. I hope to get Meg potty trained this summer and wean Madie. We will see how it all works, I am hopeful, but flexible about it.
