Life Happens

Not sure why I have waited until the last 2 days of May to post anything. Life has just happened this month and there isn't much to post about. Get up, go to work, come home, play, eat dinner, bath and bed for girls, clean up the girl's mess, and then start the same routine all over the next day. Nothing to post about. The middle of the month Ali did have a UTI. That cleared up and it was the first we had to go to the doctor's in quite some time. These last few weeks of school have been crazy busy, and meetings and paperwork continue to grow. I'm looking forward to being home with the girls this summer and finally taking them to the beach the last week of June.

Update on the Gardens

We just got these things planted the beginning of May. Hopefully they take off soon.

Picture above: check out the back bed, you can see the seed just starting to break through and grow.

Baby Pool aka The Beach

We finally have plans made for the beach and have started talking to the girls about going to the beach this summer. Now the girls think that the pool we set up for them in the back yard yesterday is the beach. They want to go out and play at the beach. They are loving every moment of playing in their pool and at least for this summer I'm glad we got them one like this and not the big blue ones everyone else gets. This one is just right because I still have to watch/worry about them going down the slide head first and getting under water, but they can also get in and out on their own. They will get out, run through the yard or dump water somewhere and then come running back. After 2 days of playing at the beach Emma still tries to go down the slide head first and get a mouth full of water. Hopefully she will learn soon.

Hair Cut

The girls had their first official hair cuts on Saturday, May 15th. Ali was a trooper and sat in the chair and let Robin do her thing. She did want to turn head around alot and check out what was going on, but other than that she was great! Emma on the other hand would have no parts of sitting in the chair. I had to hold her.
Both girls had about the same amount cut off. Just enough to made all the edges line up. With Ali's hair being so long you can not tell at all she had her hair trimmed. Emma on the other hand looks like a completely different person.
