What a wonderful fun filled day! It started off with soccer pictures and then a trip to Once Upon a Child for a few things for Lyza and Madisyn found a few good Abercrombie items....we then made a trip to the craft store for some iron on letters for her soccer shirt, which we also picked up some blank canvas totes and neon colored paints and iron on transfers. She had three girls stay over tonight and oh what fun we had! We played out in the fields and the barn most of the day...it was super beautiful in our neck of the woods and it appears that spring weather is here to stay! We have enjoyed the peaceful rolls of thunder the last few nights....but the green that popped up today was even more soothing! We then went to pick up her friends and headed to the pet food center...which resulted in a new "mate" for speedy gonzales! This new lizard is very tame and the girls have enjoyed holding him all night! We bought a few other animal related items, a new cage and we all came home. The new lizard is not fond of "Speedy"......so after a little fighting and bloodshed we have them in separate cages. We will slowly introduce them to each other for the next few days. The pizza delivery guy mysteriously showed up with salads, pizza and breadsticks for the girls.....then we headed out to the yard to make the new canvas bags. They turned out very cute....they then spent the remainder of the daylight hours playing in the fields, the hammock, waving at cars and pushing Lyza in her swing. We also made it next door to visit the goats :-)) We are now settling in for the evening....as the girls have youth group at 9 am in the morning. I am trying to get them all showered and organized tonight.....so that the ONE bathroom isn't so chaotic in the morning. It is enough trying to get Lyza in and out of the bathroom in the mornings! I really don't mind just having one bathroom...it just means we have to be more efficient with our time...which is not always a bad thing. We also get lots of questions because the upstairs (not including the downstairs) is smaller than what we are used to....actually it is not smaller, just the layout is not as open as our last house, which tends to make it seem smaller....however, I always know where my kids are...I always know if one wakes up scared...and I always know they are breathing. I like the togetherness....now ask me in a couple of years when they are both older and a little more demanding (though I am not sure that is truly possible) and I may have another story for you. But for now I am comfortable and content....~~ We are getting ready to start a wii bowling tournamanent....so I better be scooting along! Have a great evening/weekend!!
