Tubby time.

The girls love their tubby time! If you look closely, you will see a bandaid on Nati's forehead. It was due to her headbutting (total accident by both kids!) a boy named Jonas. Apparently, his head is tougher than hers. He has nothing on his head, and Natalie has a big ole lump. Her teachers reported, though, that she did not cry. The kid has the highest pain tolerance ever.

Exciting night tonight. History is being made....

How to Make Meagan REALLY happy!

I am so jealous

That my brother is in Denver. I want to be there.
I survived my first day back with our students. I feel rather ambivalent about the day. It went smoothly, like no major problems, but it was not perfect either. I just keep on reminding myself that it won't be like last year, and I WILL want to go to work again. The bright spot was that the majority of the students seemed friendly. I think it is so weird that we are starting again! Time has been flying.

Will someone leave me a comment???

I am a big nerd, obviously because no one makes comments. Either I am really boring, or no one is reading this, or you are in a rush. Well, whatever it is, feel free to just write HI!

My American Prayer

I know this is in everyone's inboxes right now. Also, I know everyone is sick and tired of politics and ready for this election to be over. I feel the same way. Still, I feel inspired by this election like I never have in the past. I have been researching Joe Biden, and I honestly believe this this is the ticket that can make a difference in the world. I want to be certain that my children, and my grandchildren for that matter, live in a country that they can be proud of in the future.

Only natalie...

would take a container of Vaseline and rub it all over her hair, bed, body, and baby Jenny. She was waaaaay to quiet this afternoon and had been "asleep" for 3 hours. I went in to check on her and there she was in all of her shiny glory. I couldn't even get mad. It was hilarious. I washed her hair 4 times and it still looks soaking wet. There were big globs of it everywhere. I must point out that this is after she, this morning, got green paint on my carpet that was just cleaned a week ago. Andy and I can't believe how different she is from Meagan, who would simply never do anything like either of these things. Luckily, she is still rather cautious physically. She doesn't jump, climb, etc, but now that she is catching up with her peers, who knows what is to come.
She is lucky that she is cute! And she really is cute.

Helping!

Meagan is enjoying helping us lately. She has learned how to sweep at school (we are at a montessori, not an illegal maid company!) and has fun doing that. Also, she loves slicing veggies and fruits, like the mushrooms she is slicing above. Admitedly, it is kind of difficult to find veggies that are easily sliced with a plastic knife, but she will eat whatever she cuts. Natalie's new thing is making little beds all over the house. She pulls things like towels, blankets, or t-shirts that are big enough to cover her or Baby Jenny all around the house. She reads Jenny stories and then cuddles up with her. My girls are very funny.
