I had a LOT of help today and the girls were very resourceful and creative. And They didn’t need to play on the computer and watch TV all day. It’s so nice to have them together to entertain each other. Sure they found little ways to get into trouble but they sure had fun. No Big disasters. They did get bowls and fill them with water on their bathroom floor but they stayed on the carpet, but then Sierra Decided she wanted to mop the floor and soaked a handtowel with water and started rubbing the sloppy thing all over the floor. Cute but it took a whole bath towel and me to clean up the overage =)

They were helping Mop the wood floors and Sierra Decided that she was going to clean the window with the mop, needless to say it was dirtier than we started out but I gave them glass wipes and they took care off all the windows downstairs including the front door. . .And this is how they did that.

I was watching them, They were doing a great job of being creative and resourceful. After they cleaned the windows I had a Chasing vacuum try to run them down. They love that.

Then Hailey helped vacuum the stairs and Sierra Help vacuum their bedroom.

Typical Dinner at our house Stroganoff. And I almost always get the question CAN I HELP? So they either set the table or stir the food.

And Horsy Rides in the evening during the movie

Artwork IMPROVING

Sierra’s getting really good at coloring and Drawing. I’ll try to post some recent pictures soon. She’s also trying to write her name and Hailey’s too.

READING PRO

Haileys Teacher says that she’s reading so well that she has started sending her some more Challenging books to read. I swear we read 3 books a night or more and I have to sign off on them and return them to the school to get 3 more and then she brings home her library books Tuesdau night and Sierra wants us to read oen of the ones we already have at home. We almost don’t have time for anything else. But she is a Fabulous reader. That’s what we did for Family Home evening. We had Hailey read her books to all of us. She did a great job. Sierra was reading one of the books by the end of the night.

Read Aerobics

I took Hailey to her school for a night out called Read Aerobics. For Daisy Girls Scouts she earns a Badge for reading and this is a great way to do it. The night started with some freebies, and a coloring Contest -moved on to the library to get a book and read it -to the Gym for some Aerobics -to the hall for a healthy snack and back to the gym for more Aerobics and a prize Drawing. We had a really fun night. Everywhere I go with my little girls someone tells me how cute they are. Her Daisy Scouts leader said that she just wants take her home. Another lady that has a son in Haileys class Says she just loves how she talks.

Hailey made an announcement while we were in the Hall having our snack. She was kneeling by her chair eating and she Said, “I love God and I love Heaven and Everyone that’s here tonight”

There was nobody around but me to hear it and it was great.

I’m thinking about all the things I have to be thankful for and you are at the TOP of my list =) *Blushing*

At about 2:00 today I was suprised with a Boquet of roses from my Love. My Sweet Husband Nathan. He is at the TOP of my list for all the things I have to be thankful for.

Thanks you Sweetie! They SMELL WONDERFUL!

Here’s a Snapshot or 2

On another Love note. .

I took Sierra to the Gym today They CLOSED the Daycare so we couldn’t go Due to No Heat in the Room. SO we headed to Wendys Drive thru to pick up breakfast I hadn’t eaten. I had to run to the post office so we sat in the parking lot and I passed out our food SHe said we need to say a prayer for it. She said I want you to say it Mom. So I Blessed our food sitting in our car with a lady in her car next to us so we could eat in the parking lot. She’s such a cutie.

Birthday party at a cool indoor Swingset Company. I took the girls to a Fun birthday party in the SNOW and we didn’t get snowed on while playing on the Swingsets.

Happy Birthday Utah DB (Brother) that startes with M But we cannot say =)! Hope it’s a good one!

Bet you can’t tell who has a problem when she gets a marker in her hand aye? And how can we leave this house when it’s been personalized? Oh Well. you gotta do what you gotta do. And make memories in a new home.
