Catch up...

Well, we've been home from Oklahoma for a few weeks now, so I guess I should get back in the swing of things here at home!

The girls had so much fun playing in the kiddie pool and sprinkler while we were there...here are a few of my favorite action shots!!

We had a great trip. It was so good to see Katie and Jeromy and get to spend so much time with them! We went wedding dress shopping for Katie and she found a beautiful dress! We also found a bridesmaid dress for me. It's very pretty. Short and perfect for the beach! It's color is called Mermaid...which is funny because when we were looking at the catalogs, I was making fun of that color name and then we saw it and both love it! The wedding date is set...February 9, 2010! Our trip reservations are made!! We are going to go for 6 days! So I can not wait for February so we can be on the beach in Riviera Maya, Mexico!!

We went to Peyton's open house/orientation thing last week. She will be in the same classroom, but have a new teacher this year. So she got to meet her teacher...Mrs. Richard. Mrs. Kupish, the aide, was in the room last year. Peyton ran up and gave her a big hug when she saw her! I would say the visit went well. I am always nervous because I never know how Peyton will react. She was excited to see all the new things in the room and to get her school supply list. So we went shopping and got all her school supplies. She is very excited to go back to school. Keep your fingers crossed that the excitement continues and we don't have a repeat of the first day last year. The day that will forever be burned into my heart...with her sobbing and begging me now to leave her there. That day was pretty horrible in my mommy book! She starts September 8th. She will go Monday through Wednesday mornings. Three days instead of the two she went last year.
Matt has been home 3 days this week. Very unusual for us. He had two Kelly days-Monday and Thursday and ended up off today as well. I was so thankful he was off Monday. I woke up with the flu and ended up in bed all day long. Yuck! He had his last summer season slow pitch softball game last night. But now will start fall season with the fire department team.
If the weather cooperates, we are going to go to Lincoln tonight to watch the hot air balloons go off. We've gone the last 2 years. It's really fun to watch. Then tomorrow we are going to go on a police and fire poker run. Nan is going to come watch the girls for the afternoon and I guess we will ride to Springfield, Lincoln, Decatur...a couple other places...I don't really know. It should be interesting. I haven't been on the bike this summer at all and was only on a few times last summer. My butt will be sore by the time we are done, I am sure!
Well, the girls are napping, so I think I will challenge Matt to a game of Guess Who...I have been kicking his butt at it lately and want to keep the streak alive! (yes, we are total dorks!)

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...
