Getting Started

Well, Tara Jo has inspired me to start a blog. I have thought about doing it for awhile, but never got around to it. Now that we are playing inside all winter, I guess I can sit in front of the computer and talk about our life while the girls go crazy with their hundreds of toys.

Christmas is over, much to Peyton's dismay. This morning she came out and looked in the living room. Then she got all sad. "Why didn't Santa bring us more presents?" She just doesn't get the whole Christmas is over until next year concept! Even with all the Christmas decorations put away and the tree at the curb, she still expects him to bring her and Kalee something every night. She has even started her Christmas list for next time. Though I can't imagine what she could possibly want that she didn't get after 5 Christmas celebrations.

Kalee goes to the doctor tomorrow for her 18 month check up. I guess really it's her 19 month check up. We were supposed to go at the beginning of December, but Matt changed the oil in my van, something he is usually pretty good at... But I packed the girls in the van and drove out of the garage. Looked at the dash and the oil light was on. Looked at the garage floor and saw the huge puddle of oil... Something happened: in my mind, he messed up. In his mind, Peyton was helping Daddy change the oil and some gasket got messed up...He is never wrong, nor does he mess up. Something I love about him (usually). So anyway, Kalee will go to the doctor tomorrow. I am a little nervous. She has had a rough couple of weeks in the accident department and looks like we beat her. She fell off the bed (or was pushed by her loving sister...we aren't sure) and hit her eye on a chair. So she has a nice shiner. Then she stood up under the table and gave herself a big goose egg on the head. Then she fell down the stairs. So we thought she was going to have another black eye. Just a few bruises. Peyton says "she just flipped over and over!" Not good. And we are once again making sure the gate at the stairs is always shut. So she is a bruiser. We need to teach her to flex and grunt.

I Hurt

I hurt my back. It hurts bad. I can hardly nod my head without it hurting. I don't know what happened. But it hurts in case you didn't get that. I took some drugs and have been laying on a heating pad, so it is feeling a little better. I need to run, but just don't know if that will happen tonight. This puts a cramp in my training! (That's my sob story of the day.) ****** Last night Matt was telling me how he just puts Kalee in bed and she stays there and will fall asleep. So I let him show me. Well, he put her in and she started crying and crying. Then we heard her get up. She went into the bathroom...don't know what she did in there. But she came out and closed the door, then went back to bed. We then heard her yelling Blankies, Blankies!! Stuck, Stuck! So Matt went in and got her blankies unstuck and put her back down. She cried some more, then we saw her nightlight go out and heard her door slam shut. She then went into Peyton's room and had a chat with Peyt...

Day 2

Day 2 went just as well as day 1 of Preschool. It seems too good to be true! Oh well, I'll take it! Peyton went right in and did her "jobs" (putting away her bag, folder and picking her drink). Then she went to play with a puzzle and read a book. No tears, no clinging, AWESOME!! Kalee was upset again that she didn't get to stay. She kept saying I want to play with the tractor puzzle at school. So she and I spent the morning playing outside. It's so funny how happy she is once we get home. I think she loves not having the competition for the toys or the bossiness that is Peyton telling her how to play! She had every baby out and every stroller with them. Plus, her tricycle, 4 wheeler, shopping cart, firetruck... I have a new TV obsession...Melrose Place. Sad, but true. I watched it last night and am hooked. Can't wait for next week! There may be a problem though...I think it is at the same time that DWTS is going to be on. Speaking of DWTS...di...

Sunny Monday

We had a fun day today. After Peyton got upset that Daddy and Pop were going to the ball park without her...it was a boys day...we decided to have a girls day. She told me that on girls days, you read stories and sing songs. Well, we haven't done any of those things yet, but we did swim a little in the freezing cold big pool. Then the girls swam in their little pool. They both brought their babies to the pools, so they had fun. I put the solar cover on the pool as soon as I got them out of it!! It's amazing that they don't ever think the water is cold! Peyton sliding with her baby Kalee "swimming." She sat in this little bucket for about 10 minutes! We had lunch and the girls napped. Then we went to the mall play place. I gave them the option of the playground and feeding the ducks or the play place. Peyton wanted the play place. Really, I think they have more fun playing on the little cars that move when you put money in them. They don't even need them to...
