Random Wednesday

I have been VERY busy trying to get ready to leave town for 10 days...
So I am going to do a catch-all randomness here.

Some more pictures from the Mouse House.
Lily is a little water bug.
She was cracking me up.
I guess she likes the taste of salt water, cuz her tongue was out the whole time.
She just floated around the pool happily all day.
When she wanted to get somewhere she just kicked her little legs and was off.
I think she might like the water.
I think...
Ava has the cutest swim suit.
She wanted a yellow one and Nan found this one.
I love the TUTU!
Also...FYI...these life vest things are THE GREATEST!
They are simply amazing for the kids.
They don't let them fall forwards into the water. 
Seriously, if you are looking for something for swimming, get one!!
See them at Target here 
Peyton just relaxing.
She was jumping in the pool all by herself by the time we left.
OH...she also swam to me in the shallow end all by herself!!!
No life vest.
No touching (cuz she couldn't!)!!
I'm so proud of her!!!

While I was "swimming" at the Mouse House, (I say "swimming" because really I was treading water most of the time while kids threw themselves at me from the edge.)
I LOST ONE OF MY DIAMOND EARRINGS!! 
NOOOOOO!!!!
I told Matt...
He told me (in typical Matt fashion), "this is why I don't buy you more nice jewelry."
A few minutes later I suggested going to the firehouse and getting his SCUBA gear so we could look for my earring.
He agreed. 
He really is a pretty amazing husband.
So we got his stuff, loaded up, and went back to the pool.
He got ready...
Went in, and came back up about 30 seconds later.
M:  "I need a screwdriver."
S:  "You found it?!!!"
M:  "Of course I did.  Jeez."
So I found him a screwdriver and he went to work.
It was down in the drain.
I am SO HAPPY he found it!
Then he suggested I super glue the back to my ear.
After he was done, he showed Kate and I how to SCUBA!
I don't think Kate liked it too much.
But she looks professional!
I loved it!
Tara, Tyler and I have been talking about taking a class.
Now I can't wait to do it!
It's really neat, and I was just in a pool.
I think Matt is pretty excited that I liked it.
Maybe now he won't complain so much the next time I suggest a tropical beach vacation.
We can SCUBA together!
In other news...
Peyton went to the eye doctor yesterday.  Her vision has remained the same.  With her eye still turning in and farsightedness.  She got a new prescription for new glasses.  But the doctor said that her left eye is exactly the same and the right has only changed minimally.  So really, there is no hurry to get them.  We will get them before she starts school.  She did great at the doctor.  Hopped right up into the chair and "played" all the games with the nurses and doctor.  She was AMAZING when they did the dilation eye drops.  She didn't cry at all.  She is getting so grown up!  We met Grandma and Kalee at McDonald's after for lunch.  Who knows if she could see anything at all...her eyes were saucers from being dilated!

I have been crafting.  Getting ready for the Katie and Jeromy Redneck Wedding Bash.  You will have to wait to see the finished product.  Think Camo and Beer.  It will be so fun!  The girls will be so inappropriately dressed.  Hilarious!

OK, long enough post to catch up?
I think so.
I have to get off here and get things done today.
Bank, packing, laundry, clean house, pick up the girls...and on and on...

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...
