What I did when I wasn't doing what I was supposed to be doing

I planned on blogging a lot. I admit I wanted about 10,000 followers (who all love and adore me as if I was in my own Julie & Julia book and give me little quips of encouragement along the way as life gets difficult). I wanted to blog so that I could have something permanent written down about my beautiful children.
Well, almost 2 years have passed since my last blog post and I haven't quite done what I set out to do.

So, what have I been up to?? (You might ask, if there is a you...)

I've been playing. I've been so busy playing and laughing and learning and cleaning and wiping and sleeping that I haven't really had time for you.

While I regret leaving you hanging, I don't regret the time spent with my darling little ones, who for the moment, are still quite little.

I leave you with something my oldest said the other day in response to a co-1st grader telling her the boy on her sticker was hot. "I touched the sticker mom, it wasn't hot at all!" :)

Wilkommen & Two funny things about Hannah

In an attempt to not lose the random thoughts that pop in and out of my brain, I am starting up this blog.  

To give you an example, I will share these two funny things about Hannah that happened this week, that no doubt I will forget in one more week if it weren't for cementing them down in cyberspace somewhere.

1.  Hannah wants to be a doctor.  When grammy was in the hospital this week, Hannah told me she NEEDED to tell grammy something to make her feel better.  When she finally got it out of her, she told grammy that all she needed to do to make her feel better was to get up and walk around.  Grammy & the rest of the family in the hospital room chuckled a bit & told Hannah, out of complete obligation to support her ego, that it was good advice.  Grammy stayed one more night in the hospital- not walking, on her back in bed.

The next morning, grammy's doctor tells her that what she needs to do to feel better is to get up and walk around.

My child is a genius!

2.  Abby's homework this past week consisted of playing some rhyming games.  We were in the car rhyming everything we could think of with "cat".  Abby said, "hat", "bat", "mat", "sat" and Hannah pitched in "rat", proving her capability to rhyme.  After a bit of silence, Hannah adds "toothpaste" to the list in an attempt only to make us laugh.  We did.  She is always looking for opportunities to make us laugh.
