The past week...

Another week has passed and I finally have time to blog again! We had a fun week last week. We went to the hot air balloon festival in Lincoln Friday. This is the third year we have gone. We go with the Bubba's...another Decatur firefighter and his family. They have 3 daughters and one son. One of their daughters is a month younger than Peyton, so they always have fun. We sit at Lincoln Christian College and watch he balloons fill and launch. They are so pretty! We had a minor issue after the festival. We got home and Kalee was missing her favorite Mousy. She was upset, "where's Mousy??" She had it when I put her in her seat at the festival, then one of the Bubbettes told her goodbye and closed the door. I guess he fell out when this happened. So we got home and couldn't find him. Matt ended up driving back to Lincoln even though he didn't want to. "It's just a stuffed Mouse..." I tried to explain to him that it is not just a mouse. It is her favorite toy. She loves him. Hasn't he ever read the Velveteen Rabbit? Stuffed animals can turn real... So he went and found Mousy sitting face down in the gutter where we had parked. When Kalee woke up in the morning the first thing she said was, "Look!!! Mousy!!!!" Matt got the good Daddy award that night!

The girls and I went to Pawnee Sunday to give Pop a hair cut. He was looking pretty shaggy. I told him I hoped he had been wearing a hat for the last week! I made Stacey work out with me. It's nice to work out with someone else. I am going to make her do it again tomorrow!



We went to the Cardinals game Tuesday with the girls and Stacey. Dad gave us tickets! We had such a good time. It was Kalee's first Cardinals game! The girls loved dancing and yelling CHARGE!! I am not sure if they even realized there was a game going on for about the first 2 innings! I can't wait to take them again! Thanks Pop!!

We are off to Girard tomorrow. We haven't been there for almost a month, there has been so much going on. So Grandma let me know she is missing the girls.

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...
