Hi everyone!
It's been awhile since I've written - it gets busy busy busy around here, and night time comes and my pillow calls me, or the bingo hall does!
The kids have been doing wonderful. Sophia has big time confidence since wearing her helmet while riding her bike - not too scary - yet:) We have hit a dry spell on toadies.... We just keep looking though! She is getting so excited for her birthday - she's been doing a countdown. Lexi is busy as a busy bee! When we are outside she chases down all the neighbors to make sure and say hi and asks what they are doing - regardless if Mommy's in her pj's, which of course then I must hi and ask how they are doing as well. Did I say in my pj's?! The neighbors are going to start sneaking out their back doors to go places, I'm pretty scary in the morning! Lexi said the cutest thing this morning, "I love you more than chocolate milk".... She says lots of funny/cute things, she makes us all laugh and smile:)
Alex is just full of smiles and talks about trains quite a bit. He is talking so well, that you can hold a conversation with him these days! He is so full of sunshine:) He ran around in circles dancing and laughing with his pjs on his head the other night - I definitely have comedians for children!
On Monday I took all the kids and the dog for a walk for about 2 hours down to where I used to live when I was little. I was showing them where my hiding places were in trees and where my friends lived. I showed them the path that I use to take down to the pond, and told them how I used to ride my toboggan down the path - I skipped the part about sliding out onto the ice:)
They seemed to really enjoy it:) Then we played in the pool and the sprinkler. After Lexi and Alex went down for a nap, Sophie and I continued to work on our tan and play. We made sure to knock on Grandma's window and make funny faces at her - Grandma shook her head - lol!
Work is slow these days, so I'm able to spend more time with the kids, and it really is so nice.
The kids are "re-organizing" the videos, so I have to go now!
Will try to keep up posting!
Love you all!
Rita
