It feels a little bit like life is kind of getting
back to a normal existence. Meaning - holy cow! I can do something *I* wanna do
for a whole ten minutes on a rare occasion. It's totally foreign and pretty
darned awesome! So I have taken advantage of it.
Last week I finally made the growth chart that has
gone across the country twice waiting for me to do something with it. I had
planned on making two but it appears they are no longer made or sold or exist
anywhere. So I made do with one and tried to combine my ideas for both girls. I
think it turned out pretty cute and Miss M thinks she needs to measure herself
at least every other day now. She is growing so fast, you know.
Miss M moved up classes at day care this week so I
made little clothespin-thingers for her teachers as thank you gifts. It felt
good to be crafty again. And actually made me think it's high time I get back
to it.
The girls had tea parties and played so well together
- even though there were a few dramatics and casualties here and there.
I am digging out the 18-month clothes for Miss E
given the weather is changing and all her 12-month clothes are very summery. I
came across the Minnie Mouse dress we bought for Miss M at Disneyland when we
took her. So I put it on Miss E and had them model their Minnie dresses. If you
can't tell, I think it's about time Miss M gets a new one... when she twirls,
the waist hits her mid-ribs. But she still loves it and wears it. As she does
with so many other things that are beyond too small.
Other things we did this weekend: cleaned the toy
room at least 6 times. Not really sure why I didn't just give up and leave it
trashed til bedtime, but I didn't. Cleaned the entire house top to bottom. Did
about 6 loads of dishes and about 9 loads of laundry - which all got
folded/hung and put away (yeah, that's a rare occurrence in our world). I redid
my iPod to remove all of my junk and then I added all sorts of music so it
could be Miss M's iPod now. She has started really enjoying music so I figure
if I give her something for her to listen to it by herself, I don't have to be
subjected to THAT much Hannah Montana. Hopefully.
