Long time no blog....

Its been forever since I updated my blog! sorry about that. Sometimes life just has a way of getting in the way!

So we have been having beautiful weather here in PA. And to add to that the girls' Bear bought them a treehouse/slide combo which they have been out playing on every nite!. Mommy and Daddy love it because they play all nite with very minimal fights and then go to bed and sleep very soundly! The girls love it because they love being outside and just love playing on it.... They are loving rediscovering all of their outdoor toys that have been put away for awhile and have been having a blast playing with sidewalk chalk....

We are getting ready for our vacation to Myrtle Beach soon and Katie has interpreted that to be that we are going to Turtle beach. She kept asking if they turtles were nice at Turtle Beach- it took us awhile but we finally got it that she was thinking Myrtle Beach as Turtle Beach. We have been taking swim lessons all winter and have really enjoyed them. Sarah is a natural to the water and I am somewhat scared that she is going to just leap out of my arms and try to take off when we are in the pool. Katie is much more apprehensive about the water and I blame myself for not starting her sooner on swimming lessons.

Sarah is doing much better at school and is not trying to bite anymore. It took a lot of working with her here at home and at school.... I am extremely relieved to not have to worry about that these days.

KAtie has a trike a thon coming up this week to benefit St. Judes. its for all 3-5 year olds at her school and they are raising money for a great cause!

This past week I was in NYC for business. WE had a great time. It was nice to see my teammates in person and hang out for them. All though the poor souls had me go sing karaoke with them- I dont know if their ears have recovered yet. Then on Wednesday my other teammate and friend that works at home Rebecca and I did a marathon shopping session in midtown for our kiddies. We started at the FAO schwartz store which was a major bust for both of us and then we moved on to the apple store. I know midtown is touristy but nothing prepared me for the apple store which easily had 200 people in it. They had all these apple laptops and such out to play with but seriously you could not get close enough to play with anything because there were so many people there. From there I had to drag Rebecca through several stores looking for a purse because sometime between FAO and apple - my purse gained a gaping hole in it. I ended up in the Gap with a $34 purse. I actually love it- its big enough I can throw stuff for the girls in their and go.... For those that don't know on me that well- I am on a never ending quest to find the perfect bag that will accommodate my needs and that of my 2 girls.... From there we ended up in Dylans candy store which is any candy lovers (adult or child's) dream come true. They have plenty of today's candy plus a huge array of candy that I remember from my childhood- like candy cigarettes and candy buttons.... WE were so exhausted from this marathon that we ended up for dinner in the California Pizza kitchen that is literally right next store. I always forget how much I love that place till I go there again.....

Now I am back home and sitting on the porch chilling out and watching the girls play. Hope everyone is having a great weekend as well!
