Ok so I know I'm completely lax in posting anything. Sue me. it's been hectic around here. For starters my washing machine decided to go all "iRobot" on me and rebel. That's the trouble with these fandangled new computerized contraptions. After a month and 3 tries the repair man was FINALLY able to get it working...... YESTERDAY. So, I've been doing some laundry; very cautiously I might add, because who knows when the thing is going to be up in arms again......
So, i know the big question is "how are the girls?" Well, they're alive. I think that counts for something at the moment. Bug, well.....it's like Bug has a constant case of PMS. One minute she's all .....and please use the whiniest, highest pitched, loudest voice you can imagine......"I don't like you!....I'm not talking to you!.....Sissy pulled my hair!...Sissy won't leave me alone!......" *stomping, door slamming, heavy sighs, screaming and crying* and lucky i haven't locked her in a closet. And, the next minute she's all "Mommy," *eyelashes batting* "I love you!" Who knew she was really turning 13? She'd win an Oscar for all the melodrama around here.
I'm blaming preschool. The first day was rough initially. She cried and i felt horrid like i was abandoning her.....then I came to get her and she had lots of fun and now I'm lucky if she even says good-bye when I drop her off! She's made two little friends and I think their influence has brought out the estrogen in her. See, before preschool she was a bit of a tomboy. She liked cars and kicking the soccer ball and building things. Granted, she liked pink and purple and things that sparkled; but it was more like a pink sparkly car that ran into and knocked down the purple and pink Lego tower. Now, we're suddenly interested in princesses and barbies and ballet. I'm not complaining, not really...it's just that I swear they're giving her estrogen shots or something at preschool and she's becoming all....girly!!! :)
Bitty is like a little chimpanzee. She has no fear and climbs on EVERYTHING. At the beginning of writing this entry she was standing on the table in the living room dancing to something on the TV. (yes, I'm a horrible mother, I let my children watch TV.....and not only that, but dance on tables!!!) If she's not climbing the table she's climbing on something. It's nerve wracking. She is probably the girlier of the two. She loves dollies. We have a dolly we have to kiss at bedtime every night now. Gr' Auntie Judy gave it to her for Christmas I think. She is also extremely fond of Fluffy Bunny. Mostly she likes to lay on him and bounce up and down on him. I've even seen her using him for a seat. at the moment she's picking up toys and putting them in a bucket. It may not sound like a big thing, but technically they are Sissy's toys and i wonder if she senses Bug's imminent arrival soon. (She and Daddy went to the indoor community pool tonight. It's all we can do to get her in the little paddling pool during summer. It hits 40 degrees here and suddenly she decides she NEEDS to go swimming! TONIGHT!!)
Bitty is now officially in her own room. We have moved David downstairs into a true dungeon now. you should see it. He has walled himself in with the plastic you use for laying down when you're going to paint. Bitty's room is in no way shape or form painted or anything. it consists of us putting a crib in the room. But, in the future I plan on painting her walls pink and green (with a little yellow) and I'm going to do an "Enchanted Garden" theme with a unicorn on the wall. I've got the unicorn all picked out and everything. Hopefully I'll have it done before she wants to repaint the room....
Well the House of Death and Pestilence reared it's ugly head right on time. Fall is bad for us I guess. Bug and I are over the worst of it. I think David had it before us. Bitty on the other hand got the worst of it. It started with a double ear infection, then two molars decided, "Hey! We should try and pop through and make things even more exciting!" and THEN she decided to get the sinus-y creeping crud on top of it. We're finally working on the tail end of the creeping crud, but those damned molars have yet to come through all the way...... I think the worst part is that this creeping crud just seems to hang on for weeks....In fact it all started when the washing machine decided to rebel..... *glares toward the laundry room* It's a conspiracy I'm sure of it.....and the washing machine is the mastermind behind it.....
I'll be super nice and toss in a few cute pictures of the past few months. :) With Halloween being next weekend I'll put a few pics of the girls in their costumes up. Mrs. Cole and I decided to be brave and make them. Well, Mrs. Cole has experience in sewing clothing so she's actually the one doing the making. I'm just adding the sparkles and embellishments. Bug is going to be a Pumpkin Fairy and bitty is going to be a Candy Corn Fairy. Hopefully, they turn out as cute as we want them to. :)
Here's Bug on her first day of school. :)
Here's a few cute pics of Bitty. She was jsut chilling in the first picture. David had dressed her up in the Tinkerbell costume on emorning and I took a few pics of her in it.
