Monday was your typical back to the grind Monday. We were off to work, the girls were off to school. I still wasn't quite 100% from my stomach bug, but definitely getting there. I had to leave work a tad early to do a little shopping, and pick the girls up. There are two weeks left of soccer, and Monday practice start a little earlier now so we're home before it gets dark. So, we rushed home, had a snack, got ready, and made our way to the field. Since Christian was going to be so late, he just went straight home and started dinner. YES! Meanwhile, Olivia not only scored her very first goal during tonight's scrimmage...she scored TWO goal! Seriously guys, I've never seen her so proud of herself. She was so excited, and I was just beaming. It's so amazing watching them grow and prosper, such a privilege really. After that excitement, we made our way home. We had some dinner, took baths, cuddled up for a bit and it was bedtime before we knew it.
Tuesday was a standard day. Really, nothing too exciting to report. I was finally feeling better and felt back to normal. We were off to work, the girls had great days at school. I do have a funny story to share though. Last night I asked Amelia if she liked her teacher, Ms. Jenn, "yeah". I asked her if Ms. Jenn was nice, "yes, but sometimes she doesn't like me". Well, what do you mean she doesn't like you, "well, sometimes I'm not nice, so she puts me in the toddler room". I couldn't stop laughing, and I wondered how accurate she was. So, when I picked them up tonight, I told Ms. Jenn this story, and she just cracked up, laughing uncontrollably. She said "yup, I sure do put her in the toddler room. And, she HATES it! When I go back to ask her if she's ready to come back to preschool, she gives me those big puppy dog eyes and whines...I'm sooooo sorry". LOL. Amelia, my little Diva, she sure is something else!
Wednesday went by quick. Yes, the week is over halfway over! I picked the girls up tonight, we made our way home, and it hit me. They have actually been getting along lately. Like, REALLY getting along. They've been talking to each other, sharing stories, watching videos together, playing and sharing with each other. I mean, they're still "toddlers", and sisters, and there are definitely squabbles here and there, but things have been WAY different lately. It's so refreshing, and relieving. When we got home, they watched a video while I made dinner, and then disappeared down to the playroom for a while. I went down to check on them later and they were having the time of their life, playing so good together. I couldn't believe it. AND, we've FINALLY gotten them to start picking up after themselves. They had the horrible habit of taking out literally every toy in the room and just turning the entire basement into tornado valley. Now, they keep the toys in the playroom, they put them away when they're done/before they start playing with something else. It's been AH-MAZING! My girls, growing up and making me so proud!
Thursday, another standard day. I'm liking these standard days - life has been much less chaotic this week, and it's very welcomed! They had a flu shot clinic at work today, so I got mine. Ugh, I will NEVER get used to needles, I just hate it. Amelia got her mist at her checkup a while back, and Olivia goes in tomorrow. Christian's work clinic is later this month, then we'll be set for winter! Or not, whatever. Today was also my Friday at work, so it was a busy day getting as much done as I could. I picked the girls up after work and we made our way home. They did some coloring and crafts, we had dinner and hung out for a while. Just another day in the life!
Friday, Friday, wonderful Friday! I woke up to news that it had snowed in South Dakota...like REALLY snowed, 30" or so. WHAT! Seriously, not ready for this yet. Last winter literally just ended, and was long enough. I'm not ready for this years to start in October! It did stay across the border, but too close for comfort! We still need an Indian summer or two before it all comes crashing down. Christian dropped Amelia off at school this morning (which, she hates), while I watched the news and waited for Olivia to wake up. Olivia woke up, and started frantically searching for sissy - so cute. I had to give her the GREAT news that we had a quick doctors appointment this morning before she goes to school. So, we had some breakfast, and off we went. She just had to see the nurse for her flu must, so we were in and out in 5 minutes. She was off to school, and I spent the day being LAAAAAAAZY. And, I mean lazy. I did some dishes, and a tiny bit of cleaning up, otherwise, I barely left the couch. Hulu was my best friend today, and I am beyond excited that all of my shows are pretty much back now. My life, super exciting! I did run to the store quick to pick up a birthday party gift for this weekend and a couple things for the house before picking up the girls, so at least I made it that far! Once Christian was home, we had some dinner and hung out for a bit before the girls were off to bed. We watched "Snitch" and "Silver Linings Playbook" tonight - yes, TWO movies, and I made it through both! Both of them were actually really good. I didn't expect much from Snitch, but the story line was decent. Of course, I figured Silver Linings Playbook would be good with all of it's award wins, but it was better than I expected. Very funny, and great story. Loved it!
My Puppy, she couldn't wait to show me the ears she made at school today.
Ending our night, watching these two loving' each other watching some videos before bed. This is how you end a Friday night!
Saturday started off with a nice lazy morning. TV, breakfast and hanging out together. Then, we were off to soccer. It was chilly, but the sun was out so it actually wasn't to bad (the rain hit later in the day). Once home, we watched "Brave", had some lunch and the girls went down for their naps. I watched a little Hulu before falling asleep myself. Apparently, BIG mistake because I woke up with a monster migraine. Like, in tears in major pain migraine. I grabbed an ice pack and some medicine, searched for a comfortable position, and didn't move for a few hours. Luckily, the girls played REALLY well together while I was resting...coloring and watching "Bolt" over and over again. Christian ran to the store to get some dinner ingredients, and some caffeine for me, and he made dinner while I slept off my migraine. Thankfully, I woke up actually feeling better and it was pretty much gone. We ate dinner, I had my Diet Dew and was feeling pretty good. The girls were off to bed shortly, so we watched "Taken 2", decent, until Christian passed out, and I watched Saturday Night Live. With all of the recent Miley Cyrus drama, I couldn't miss it. It was actually an OK episode, so it was worth it.
Sunday was a pretty busy day. I was feeling better, so I got some cleaning and a load of laundry done this morning. We had breakfast, got ready, and were off. Today was my friend from works daughter's birthday party...Annabelle, she turned 6. They had her party at one of those indoor playgrounds so the girls had a blast running around. They both fell asleep on the way home, so we put them down for naps. Christian was off to get a haircut, and, of course, both of the girls woke up refusing to nap. Seriously. So, we rested for a bit, then dug out the Halloween decorations and set everything up. We don't have a ton of stuff, and don't even put it out half of the time, so I figured why not. We're ready, and the girls surprisingly love the "spooky" stuff. Christian got home and we gave the girls a little snack before heading off to Swim Class. My mom came to watch the girls tonight, and took us all to dinner at Applebees afterwards. YUM, never gets old for us! Finally, we were on our way home to relax and settle in for the night. Both of the girls got to bed a bit later than usual, so I'm sure tomorrow morning will be a treat!
The girls were obsessed with the vampire teeth they got as a party favor today.
With that, another week comes to an end. I know I've been SUPER slacking on the picture taking front. I really need to get back at it. Phone pics DO NOT cut it for me in the long run, I just haven't been in much of a photography mood lately. Gonna work on that for sure though!
Until next week!
