What made our week super-fabulous? So much stuff! I’m bullet-pointing as best I can to get it
all in!
1)
We had such a fun Halloween, all the way
around. The girls loved their pumpkin
party at school, and they were ecstatic to get a little treat bag from their
teachers. We had a great time with
M&C on Wednesday morning, and they really got into the festivities on
Wednesday afternoon. And perhaps best of
all, they were content to come inside and snuggle by the fireplace for a few
minutes before going to bed (on time!) Wednesday night. Bliss!
2)
Baby A’s recap of handing out candy: “Mommy,
some kids couldn’t talk, so I talked for them.” If a kid didn’t say “Thank you!” she very
innocently volunteered it for them.
3)
My sweet Baby B’s tender heart…she started
tearing up when her daddy said (very nonchalantly) that he would get rid of our
jack-o-lanterns the day after Halloween.
4)
Baby A’s prowess at using scissors and tape. She’s occupied herself for up to an hour on
several days, cutting out shapes or pictures from magazines, and then taping
them onto a blank page. She’s such a
hard worker!
5)
Baby A was such a great helper during nap time
one day this week. She stuck by me
through folding two loads of laundry, and then she made countless trips
upstairs to put away socks, washcloths, towels, tshirts…anything she could
reach. Daddy was upstairs, and he said
she had such a “business” look on her face.
HA!
6)
Finding Baby B napping one afternoon with her
pillow on top of her. She was so cute…and
then she was so proud of being a “turtle” after I woke her up!
7)
B organized the alphabet magnets (from two full
sets = 52 tiles) in order one morning. I
think I heard her sing the ABC Song 26 times…but she persisted and did an
amazing job!
8)
Hearing the girls jump up and down, chanting
over and over, “Hip-hop dancers! Hip-hop
dancers!” They were giggling
hysterically…and so was I! [I can only
surmise they got that from our “ABC’s of NYC” book, where “H” is hip-hop
dancer.]
9)
We had our family pictures on Saturday. The girls did so well…and they even had
fun! I cannot wait to see the smiles on
their faces.
10)
Happening upon a marathon during our Sunday
morning walk through our neighborhood.
We had such fun stopping to cheer on the runners, and B even got to yell
into a megaphone.
11)
We let the girls watch the last couple of
minutes of the Alabama game on Sunday morning.
Baby B clapped at all the right times, and she even told Aunt GG on the
phone about Alabama’s touchdown! Mama
was so proud!!!
12)
The girls have been golden not to get up until
their clock turned green, but they’ve been awake a good 30 minutes “early”
since the time change. This morning B
was laughing like mad and talking complete nonsense. Baby A, who probably wanted to enjoy her “extra”
hour, kept insisting, “Sissy, that’s not a word!”
13)
The very first thing the girls said when I went
into their room this morning: “Muffins!
Muffins! I smell muffins!” And correct they were! They were so excited with their home-baked treat.
So thankful for another great week with my sweet baby girls!!!
