Things Of The Past

Sorry for the lack of posts.
My days sure have been busy.
Thursday I packed pretty much all day.
Friday I went to the Creative Discovery Museum, Chee Burger Chee Burger and Cold stone Creamery with my friend Brittany.

The girls had a blast Madilyn's only been to CDM a few times, but this time she was old enough to actually play.
The girls took their time in each place and Kylie Jade and Samantha played so nicely.
They seemed to enjoy the playhouse the most, but they also seemed to really love digging in the sand for dinosaur bones.
All in all the girls wore themselves out til they were starving.

I had never been to Chee Burger, but it was good (a little on the expensive side) but still tasty.
The girls were mostly good, Madilyn was beyond the point of starvation so she was a little cranky.
Once we got the food everyone settled down and gobbled up their meal.
We decided to head to Cold Stone for ice cream.

The girls got kids scoops and ate up their ice cream.
They sat at one table and laughed and played.
It was weird seeing them this old.
I am kinda in denial that Kylie Jade is almost 5years old and Madilyn almost 2.

We left and came back to my place.
Brittany and I had good conversation and the girls just played dress up.
It was time for them to go (and girls to get a bath) so I gave Brit her stuff and they were gone.
My girls were worn out they went to sleep quickly and soundly.

Today I have just been working out took a 30min walk to the bilo (with the girls) to get our bananas so we could make banana smoothies and it was WORTH it!
I did some aerobics, zumba and Wii fit now I am down 16 lbs. It feels good.
Well I better wrap this up as I am tired and want to snuggle on the couch with Kylie (Madilyn is sound asleep).
Night.

Picnics And A Surprise!

It has been so beautiful outside the past two days.

Yesterday I took my beautiful booger to school, watched my sick niece for a few hours, picked up my big girl came home and fed lunch. 

John got his school money so I went grocery shopping (bought all the girls Valentines stuff) and spent 2 1/2 hours in the store. 

Came home unloaded the car, put our packed boxes in the car quickly went to the library returned and picked out books for the girls ran to my moms unloaded the car and ran Kylie Jade to gymnastics.

Which, by the way, she is doing AWESOME at. 

She is really starting to be less afraid. I am so proud of her! 

She is moving to Gymnastics 1 when this session ends.

It seems like she was that newly two year old starting class and now she's almost 5. 

Anyway John had a long lunch picked him up, went to Zaxbys dropped him off and FINALLY came home. 

Only to do baths and workout then bed. 

I was exhausted but I have lost 16 lbs to date and I'm not stopping now.

Today John need to run to Chattanooga State to pick up his books and since it was to be another pretty day I figured we'd have a picnic at river park.

Packed our lunches and loaded up the girls and we were on our way. 

The girls spent some time first playing on the playground (we arrived around 10:15.)

They had so much fun.

Madilyn on the playground

Kylie Jade balancing 

Sweet face

Slide time 

Bahahaha

Swinging while talking with a friend she made

Little one often terrorizes the playground.

Today she found a sweet innocent looking girl and pulled her hair clip right out of her head.

I wasn't surprised just made her give it back and say she was sorry then she had to leave that play area.

That kid I swear. 

Next we decided to eat lunch! 

I packed cajun chicken, cheese, olive and lettuce sandwiches, with applesauce celery and V8 juice. 

For a "snack" they got doritos which the girls thoroughly enjoyed.

They ate so fast and were so ready to get back out there.

Lunch time!

Next we hit bathrooms and then we decided to take a stroll.

To my surprise John joined us (I thought he was going to find a shady spot to start his homework)

We walked and enjoyed the day.

Kylie Jade then came up with a brilliant idea...she needed Ice Cream.

Bike time

Photo Op of couse

So John decided to haul us all down to ColdStone. 

The girls were thrilled.

Kylie Jade got dreamcicle with gumballs, Madilyn got chocolate with M&Ms, I got founders favorite and John got two ice creams mixed.

Although the girls were sharing, because they are just sweet like that.

Picking out flavors

Eating 

We came home and spent the rest of the afternoon/evening outside.

My brother came over and we played frisbee.

We also played tag, racing, soccer, ring around the rosie and read books sitting in the back of the trunk.

We also filled out Valentines. 

The girls decided to clean out the water table

It was dinnertime I fixed tacos.

They were delicious. 

Then I gave them baths and did Wii fit. 

We've been doing colored baths every night tonight was pink, the other night was blue. 

Blue water

Pink tub

Well I am beyond exhausted and Madilyn is about ready for bed.

I hope you all enjoyed the pictures.

Sorry I haven't been updating as much I just have been so busy.

Until Next Time...

A Small Idea Turned MEGA

So the girls and I were playing in their room. 

We are mega bored so I had the thought to make a fort. 

After all they have a ton of blankets so why not use them?

I got to work.

I picked a small corner of their room.

We got busy.

I quickly realized this wasn't the best idea as Madilyn was tearing it down.

Then I got a MEGA idea. 

Little fort

Quickly I thought up a way to make MEGA fort.

So John and I got to work.

We made mega fort in the living room.

It was a success.

Mega Fort

The girls playing puppies in mega fort

Puppy Madilyn

So they are playing puppies and having fun, then I handed Kylie Jade her library books.

They laid back on the bean bag and enjoyed reading the books.

If they get a nap outta mega fort it'd be ultimate success.

Even still their laughter and giggles is rewarding enough for me.

Peace

Us Southerners Call A Dusting Snow

Today it dusted, but in the south we call it snow.
As everyone knows the South isn't really known for snow, so when it even flurries a little we freak out and haul out the sleds.
It was beautiful when it was snowing today, so I figured we'd take the girls out for a little bit and let them play in what little snow dusted over the rocks, grass and porch.
They didn't seem to mine the fact that they even saw white was amazing to them.

Lunch time quickly approached so we had the girls come in to eat.
As they were happily eating talking of the snow Madilyn looked out the window.
Poor baby had never seen snow before, so she was freaking out.
"Look! Look!" She exclaimed. "What's that?" She'd ask.
John and I thought it was adorable.

Well my friend Megan is on her way with her adorable baby boy, Weston.
After my work out I am in dyer need of a shower.
So I better hop to it, I wouldn't want to stink when they came over.
Until next time...

Performance Day

Yesterday my daughter had her Prek performance of the Itsy Bitsy Spider.
It was absolutely adorable.
The kids made these spider hats and they had a ton of itsy bitsy spider art work in the theater.
Needless to say it was heart melting cute.

Picture of some of the art

Kylie Jade and her friend Jeremy

Better one of the class (one girl refused to participate)

My adorable cutie

I like this school because they involve the parents as much as they can.

Kylie Jade really likes it, however she wants to go more days, but I think 2 is plenty.

After they sang they were asked to say their names.

It was so cute some of the kids were shy and some of them just shouted out their names I love watching this age group!

Yesterday was a good day I got a lot done.

I got a ton of packing done and I spent some quality time with my little girls (which is always good).

Today on the other hand started off rough.

The kids have just been at each others throats. 

I am really freaking out John needs his school money and I need that daycare money. 

It better come in BY Monday or we are screwed.

I just can't wait til the end of the month.

Even though life will still be bumpy AT LEAST I won't have to the stress of making rent and other things while we are trying to pay off debt.

I got an email this morning from CCS to fill out Kylie Jade's enrollment information.

I did that already and just waiting on the money to fill out the financial aide.

Well I guess this is about all I have time to write as my very grumpy 20 month old is vying for attention.

Lord help me.
