Hiatus!

I have been on a major blog hiatus. I only have half of our Christmas pictures up and in the last two months have only managed to post those and nothing else! Yikes.  What will the girls ever do if they don't have every month of their lives documented!!??:)

I better update.

Preschool is going fantastic. I don't know what happened but something just clicked and they LOVE it. No reservations whatsoever getting dropped off, Grace doesn't even say goodbye anymore, and Klaire is down to one quick kiss and hug and she's on her way. It's so nice. Grace is also talking in class now, some days when I pick her up her teacher will say "we chatted ALL day!" I warned her that once the kid started, she might wish for some quiet.  Actually they seem really happy that she came around.  We have conferences tomorrow, and I'm excited to hear their progress.  Klaire plays dress up a lot I think in class, and is not too interested in writing her name like Grace is. Oh well, there's plenty of time in Kindergarten for that.  The other day out of no where in the car Grace said "I know the allegiance" I said, oh yah? Say it. And word for word, she did. Amazing. Then I asked them both to say it. Yep-pretty much perfect.  I had no idea they knew it!

What else...

Brian bought a new (old) truck.  He's been waiting for years to have something other than his little tiny car to drive the hour to work.  This one came along and he had to jump on it. Something about the engine that they don't make anymore. I dunno, but it's big and loud and he loves it.  He's been doing lots of useless errands.  I'm looking forward to easy Craigslist furniture hauling:)

 hmmm

I have been trying to eat better. Less sugar and bread, more veggies, and meats/proteins. It's hard!!!  I went through a major sugar detox of sorts and it was awful, headaches and sleeplessness. I never realized how much sugar I was eating, or that my body would react that way! Kind scary, but now I'm on the right track and slowly trying to get the rest of the fam on board with me.  The girls are much more open to it than 'ol BW since they eat pretty darn well themselves, but he'll come around I think. That said this weekend stuck in the house and making cookies by the dozens did not do well for the diet-but it's Monday again, and I'm back on track.   I also joined  a gym for the first time in over 5 years, and have actually enjoyed that time alone to take out any extra aggressions and frustrations on the treadmill.

I better end with a hilarious Klaire story.  We had Jackson over the other night and while changing him (this was before he was potty trained, YAY, Go Jackson!:)  Klaire looked over at Grace and said "Well, look at that! ...I think they call it a peanut." OMG I could not help but laugh.  Too hilarious.

We are enjoying our independent, funny, smart little girls.  They make me smile, and drive me nuts every day, and I think that's just the way it should be:)
