Not by the hair of my chinny chin chin
So the other nite the girls wanted cuddle time with mommy. It was bedtime and they both piled in to our bed and snuggled down. Katie was out in two minutes flat. Sarah was a little more restless. So I was taking my hand and very lightly rubbing her hair and her face trying to calm her down. She then decided to return the favor and rubbed my face till she hit my chin. MOMMA WHAT IS THAT she said getting all upset. That's my chin hair Sarah, I need to get rid of it. I dont have that Momma, How come I dont have that. No Sarah you dont only big people get that. OH ok momma. I get it when I get older..... What a thing to look forward too!!!
A Easy and yummy treat!
I made something tonite that is so easy and yummy and yet I forget at times to make it cause it is so easy. I made a chocolate pudding pie with bannanas. It was soooo yummy! We really enjoyed. I put cool whip on it as well and the girls were beyond thrilled and told me it was just the bestest pie ever! All I did was take a graham cracker crust, slice 2 bannanas and put in the crust then make the pudding according to directions for pie and put in the crust and refrigerate....
SOOOOO GOOD!
SOOOOO GOOD!
some Ramblings
Not clear cut title for this one as I have several things I have wanted to post about..... On Thursday I had the privledge of stopping by our friend Jody's house and photographing her newborn baby Emily. Emily is almost 6 weeks old and is just precious. Holding her for a few minutes and hearing those little cries made me nostaglic and gave me a little case of baby fever... but then on Saturday we went out to dinner with the girls and I so enjoyed the fact that they are growing up and we can do things like go out to dinner and let them set together in a booth that the baby fever passed very quickly.....
We went to our local chinese restaurant and instead of take out we decided to eat there. The girls were thrilled and were fascinated with the cook in the kitchen working the wok. This put them in the frame of mind of their favorite show Kai-lan and how Kai lan's yey yey (grandfather) made them dumplings. so we ordered some steamed dumplings for them to try. Sarah wouldnt try them but Katie liked them......
Sarah on the other hand had her eyes on something else. This place also does decent sushi and mommy went ahead and ordered herself an unagi roll (eel) and Sarah begged to try it. So we decided since eel is cooked to let her. Oh my gosh the faces she made were so funny and cute.... She looked at me and said too salty! Then she begged for more! Looks like I might be ordering 2 rolls in the near future.
The other week I took both of them to Friendlys for lunch and they both again sat together in the booth and ate such good lunches, fribbles (which are like a shake) and ice cream. I was amazed where they put it all......
Katie had her 5th birthday party the other week and in true fashion we had a snow storm. Lukily it was not bad and her friends all came. They had a great time swimming and then eating pizza and cake.
We are dealing with alot of not sharing and fighting right now and it continues to be a struggle. Santa brought them a dollhouse to share and they constantly fight over it. They won't play with it nicely it at all. I am thinking of getting a timer and setting it and letting them have turns because I dont know what else to do.
Reese continues to get bigger and more of a love bug. WE are still struggling with potty training and its a real bet on who will be potty trained first -him or Sarah.
It is pouring rain here today but not that cold so I took Reese for a nice walk. He was not happy with me . We got about a 3rd of the way around the neighborhood and then he started pulling me back. He shivered all the way back...... We are continuing to work with the girls as well to teach them to be good with the dog. They tend to grab and squeeze him alot, which he takes to a point and then barks at them which scares them......

Happy 5th birthday Katie bug!
I cannot believe that 5 years have come and gone since the nite you made me a mom. Katie you are growing up to be a sweet young lady. You love to read and love that you got a Tag reader from Mimi and Pap so now you can read on your own.
You are so independent and love to do things yourself but you are also learning that sometimes a little team work is ok as well. You love to help with the kitties, the dog and your little sister. You have become a great big sister, helping her when you can. However you still like to tease and torment her at times. And while you can share with everyone else you still have issues sharing with her. But you are getting better....
You love to draw and to write your letters. You love everything Cars and Spiderman. And you love sports of any kind but especially Penn State football and your beloved Joe Pa.
You have many new adventures awaiting you soon since you are turning 5 and we can't wait to experience them with you. We love you Katie bug, Happy 5th birthday!
