Snow Day!

Lo and Behold, we had a snow day on Friday!!!! It only snowed an inch, but it was enough to shut the entire city down. Amelia's school was closed, and so was UT. I took the girls out early to play in the snow...good thing I kept a few snow clothes.Our snow man is a little short, but who would have thought we would build a snow man in Austin! And, the snow was all melted by noon...

So life is pretty much the same. I don't even know what to title this blog. I wake up at 3:00 am I go to work, dealing with the fruit of the earth who all want to be there with me too. Meanwhile Taeya gets up about 6:00 with the girls gets ready by, the basic kid stuff in the morning, while fitting in some where for her to get ready for school. Taking Amelia to her ride cuz somebody's got the car. Then she waits for me to get home about 10:00 gives me a kiss "Bye gotta go". Out the door she goes and doesn't come home until 7:00pm. While she is gone I take care of our sweet, busy children. I try my hardest to stay awake, um I do my best. Make the dinner most nights do a couple of things around the apartment. Taeya comes home I'm off to bed. It seems this same everyday except for Saturday I get to sleep in until 6:00.
So that is, That is why we haven't blogged much. It seems so boring, oh wait it is. Thankfully I got kids and they make life fun. Amelia really enjoys school, loves her friends and is the pack leader at the park. Aliza is growing fast not much talking, all thought she knows exactly what you are saying. She is wanting to use the toilet that is good and all the fun that comes with that. Ummm you know, well lets just say the little presents on the floor, and a confused little girl. For me it is fun to be there as a parent and help you child figure things out. When they figure out the process of what they are working on, that is a special time. Presents on the floor does get old.
Taeya's mother is living with us and to that I say "yep". It is good most of the time. Except for her breaking her foot. I am going to be completely honesty, That has really sucked. I don't know if capitalizing the word would have even worked. It sucks, it sucks ok moving on. I also know she hates it to. Other than that where holding the front line.
It has been nice here weather wise. Today a cold front moved in and cooled it right down. While I drove to work the outside temp gauge in my car went from 65 to 35 in twenty minutes. I have adapted to the warm and don't like it cold. It ended up being 25 today. I hope this makes sense if not I haven't been sleeping much so peace out.

Happiness Is Trying to Catch You!

Aliza loves to go outside. Anytime she thinks that someone is going to go outside, she is ready to go. She usually goes toddling out the door, and then starts to run in the opposite direction of you. So, she takes off, and we follow trying to catch her.

Well, the other night we went out for Chinese food because we had a coupon (probably the last time we will take Aliza out to eat for a while!!). I started to laugh when I opened her fortune cookie for her and it read: "Look around, happiness is trying to catch you." And yes, while I was reading it, Jason was chasing after her...

Hide and sleep

Ah, the days when you could hide from the world and of course fall asleep.

AAHH, mud and water

Not much else to say when it comes to to water and mud. Oh, Aliza did say as she first stepped into the water " OHHH". It was very cute.

Whatever

So I have not put in my two cents for awhile. Not much is going on other than life sometimes it is hard to write about nothing. We did move down the street to a three bedroom apt. Taeya's mother has joined the the crew. To others this may seem like a lot but we have been planning on this now for some time so it not new to us.
I am still working and not enjoying it much. I don't like telling people what to do. I just expect that people will do their job. I am sure that my boss probably feels the same way.
Amelia has been going to school. Before she went I thought that I would miss my side kick. Well the verdict is in. To see how much she loves school and other kids it makes me happy. So I put my sad feelings aside and enjoy with her. I hope that she will look back as fondly as I have to be at home with my children.

First Day of School

Today was AMELIA's FIRST day of school!!!! She is starting pre-k this year. Yes, there were some tears...when I came to pick her up and had to explain to her that (a) she had to leave, and (b) should could not take the school supplies with her. She cried most of the way home. Her teacher came for a home visit today, and her primary question...what's the best way to handle Amelia when she throws a fit. Oh, wouldn't life be so much easier if I actually knew the answer to that question!!!

I think that Amelia is going to have a great time in pre-K. She has a great teacher, and she definitely wants to be there. She has been asking me for a year when she would get to start school, and I told her that it would be after my birthday. It worked pretty well until the day of my birthday, and then she took the statement very literally and thought that she would go to school on my birthday. It has been a long week waiting!

It was harder than I thought it would be to leave our eldest at school, but I know that it is for the best and that she will have a great year!
