« Previous EntriesAlmost the big day!
Wednesday, October 15th, 2008Kimberly has been counting down to her birthday for months now. Once I told her it was only 30 days away she commandeered our wipe off board in the kitchen and made it into countdown central.
Not sure why she hears a K at the beginning of almost instead of an A. [...]
Fire Camp
Monday, October 6th, 2008“Mom, after dinner can we have a fire camp?” ~ Kimberly, Annie or Mimi
Ever since last weekend and our fire in the backyard the kids have been wanting to have another. They call it a fire camp instead of a camp fire. So cute.
Open House
Friday, October 3rd, 2008Tonight we went to the preschool for open house. It was neat to see the Girls and have them show us around, even though I remember the church from my childhood it was neat to get their perspective.
The girls have been studying dinosaurs and learned so much. They made dioramas and [...]
Fireside Fun
Monday, September 29th, 2008Last night we had a nice fire in our fire pit. The kids love to roast marshmallows and the new pit makes it easy to have a small fire. I went inside to make dinner, tilapia, oven fries and zucchini, while Bill and the kids set up the campfire. We ate our dinner [...]
Birthday party planning woes
Friday, September 26th, 2008This year for Annie and Kimberly’s birthday we were met with a tough decision. Annie and Kimberly really wanted a BIG Halloween costume party. They wanted all their preschool friends, and since they are all four that means their families as well, all their other friends and their parents, and their family. [...]
Cleaning the playroom
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008The playroom is either in two states, completely clean or complete disaster! Unfortunately we never find a happy medium between the two. Yesterday I sent the girls up to get working on their playroom while I made dinner. They were fooling around and had to come downstairs once to regroup because they [...]
Back from Urgent Care
Monday, September 15th, 2008I just got home from Urgent Care. Earlier today Kimberly pulled the curio cabinet down by the cord. She was trying to see what it went to or something like that. Thankfully she was out of the way but it grazed Annie’s arm. I took her to the Urgent Care and [...]
Time to make the donuts
Saturday, September 13th, 2008Tonight after dinner we made donuts for a special treat. It was the first time the kids had made them. We used a can of regular biscuits and popped a hole in the middle. I fried them in crisco and the kids put them in either powdered sugar or cinnamon [...]
My twins
Thursday, September 11th, 2008I have always loved to dress Annie and Kimberly alike. I think there is nothing cuter than twins wearing the same clothes. I was a little sad last year when Annie and Kimberly wanted to dress different. I never said anything to them about it, just bought them the outfits that they [...]
Open Wide
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008Today all three girls had their very first trip to the dentist. Last spring they went along with me to my cleaning so they could see what happens at the dentist. That pretty well prepared them for what it would be like. They were a bit nervous this morning, but as usual [...]
Little Ms. Bossy
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008I was informed today that Kimberly tries to run the show at preschool. Good to know it is not just me.
Thankfully she doesn’t and they are super gentle about helping her understand this.
First of many
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008Today Annie and Kimberly got their first birthday party invitation. They are so excited. This is the first party that they were invited to without us being the reason for the connection. (Course really we still are since we sent them to preschool.)
When I have kids . . .
Thursday, August 28th, 2008“My kids are going to be so happy when I am their Mom. I am going to let them swim alone without me watching.” ~ Kimberly
I had no idea the whole “when I am a parent . . .” thing started so early, but trust me it is in full effect around here. [...]
Wii to the extreme
Monday, August 25th, 2008“Hambone, can you help me roll this out?” ~ Kimberly
When we got our wii we all made our Miis. For some unknown reason, other than the fact that Bill is just a curious person, Bill called his Mii “Hambone”. Kimberly is completely taken with the idea and calls Bill this often.
The [...]
1st day of Preschool
Wednesday, August 20th, 2008Today Annie and Kimberly woke up super excited and ready to get going on their day. I had decided to do a photo journal of the days events. I got some great video and pictures to enjoy forever.
The girls had a great day. Last night I made a checklist for [...]
Change is weird
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008Today the kids had Open House at preschool. They LOVED it and were so excited. They met both their teachers and played around in their class today, exploring every nook. Grammy went along with the girls so she could see what a wonderful place they were going and where to take them [...]
Building excitement
Thursday, August 14th, 2008This morning one of Annie and Kimberly’s preschool teachers came to visit them at the house. They introduced themselves to the kids and talked with them about some of the procedures and expectations at school. The Girls were all ears and so excited.
They each colored a rainbow with purple backing because [...]
Let the games begin
Friday, August 8th, 2008Today the kids and were watching some tv and a commercial came on for the Olympic games. I explained to them that people from all over the world come to participate and they find out who is the best at something in the entire world.
Kimberly was completely awe struck by that idea. [...]
Gulp
Tuesday, August 5th, 2008“Mom when are you going to go get baby brother?” ~ Kimberly
“I don’t know yet sweetie.” ~ Mommy
“Well you better get him soon, you are getting OLD!” ~ Kimberly
Yeah, it was as hard to swallow as it sounds.
No I don’t think I am old and I cannot believe my little baby does [...]
Our Little Neat Freak
Sunday, August 3rd, 2008“I love to clean.” — Kimberly
This morning she cleaned the playroom, which was an absolute disaster, by herself. Her sisters were eating breakfast and I was going in to help her out when I discovered that it was nearly done. I apologized for her having to do everything by herself and that was her reply. [...]
