EWWWWW!!!!

Its official.... I have the grossest kid in daycare.... Today they were short on teachers so Sarah was put back in the 1yr old room for the day. There was a new sub in there and at naptime she thought Sarah was asleep in her sleeping bag because she was so quiet... Nope not Sarah- instead she had done poopies in her pull-up and started to play with it inside her sleeping bag. The inside of the bag was coated and so was Sarah- she had in her hair, her clothes and then had started to paint the wall with it......

Fun times I tell you! She never gives me a dull moment!

Life

Sorry it has been so long since I updated. Life has gotten in the way. So this might get a little long but let me update....

We moved! I would say we are about 75% moved right now.... We still have garage stuff and storage stuff to move but for the most part we are now settled in Bears house. The plan is to continue to move stuff and then do some updating to our house and put it on the market in January. Hopefully the economy and housing market will be a little better then....

The girls seem to really have blossomed since we moved. They are sleeping so well and doing great! They had a great time trick and treating in the new neighborhood....

Sarah is in full potty training mode and is doing awesome. She is in pull ups but goes most of the day using the potty..

Katie is doing great as well and is having a blast in preschool. She is practicing her letters and is doing really well writing her name. She also is drawing better and the other day she made a house and all of our beds and then drew all of us in the house....

We went to a thanks giving feast that the daycare throughs every year and it was too cute. the girls had indian hats on and afterwards Katie brought home a chain of thanks. It said Katie was thankful for Mommy and Daddy, Fifi and Daisy and FOOD and JOE PA. For those not in the know - JOE PA is the head coach of Penn State football and is kinda like Katies imaginary friend..

I also had some sad news that upset me. I am part of an on-line moms message board and over the years have gotten to know some of these women quite well. On these moms had a little boy named Jack. Jack was born with a Congenital Heart Defect or CHD. Jack was quite the fighter but it was with great sadness to be told that Jack lost his battle with this disease just 2 weeks before his 3rd birthday.

Although I never met Jack or his parents Brad and Amy, i felt as if I had come to know them through Amys posts and her pictures. Jack was a sweet boy who loved God and Jesus and loved firefighters and firetrucks...

Jacks death has reminded me not to take my children for granted and to take heart and delight in the small things they do and to most of all thank god that my girls are healthy.
Take Care all
