When I came home from a long and exhausting day at work today I noticed a note sticking out of the front door.
This is what it said...
I am aware that the picture is sideways...sorry.
Alyssa was mortified...partly because her daddy and brother were giving her such a hard time about it. Me on the other hand...though I think she is waayyy too young for this kind of stuff, I have to give the kid props. Ahhh, to be young again!
The time has come...
My once sweet and laid back baby has become demanding and assertive.
Yes folks, we are entering the "terrible twos" stage.
I hate to call it that. Really, it's not all that terrible...just a little more work for us as she tests her limits and reacts when her desires are not always met.
On the other side of the spectrum we have Alyssa.
When she's not rolling her eyes and mumbling under her breath she's still a great kid. She is entering the "parents are stupid" phase of her life. I'm trying to be understanding and cool...
not sure how that's working out for me though.
I fear my girls are going to set Jeff and I into a frenzy. Both girls discovering who they are and reaching out to test their limits...and in the middle we have BrAnDoN!! We're holding on and preparing for the storm that I know is coming. Wish us luck!
This man is the source of many of my headaches. He is the love of my life. He makes me crazy. He's a wonderful father. He makes me want to pull my hair out sometimes. He's a hard worker. He tries, but he can not dress the girls. He takes the time to make little piggy tails in Gabriella's hair and has mastered his bun hairstyle.
He's hopeless when it comes to housework. He's (for the most part) patient with me.
He's a horrible backseat driver. His smile makes my heart flutter.
I love you Jeffrey, even when you're driving me batty!
Gabriella got her hand painted. I tried to get her face painted like a kitty but she was not having it!
Alyssa and Laney on the water slide.
Last night was family fun night at our church. They filled the fellowship hall with bouncy houses and water slides. They also had face painting. Brandon decided to stay with daddy and go to the wrestling duels that were being held at Green Valley. (man...I can not wait for wrestling season to begin again!)
Alyssa brought one of her friends, Laney. The girls had a great time!
This about sums up my feelings on today...
hoping for a better, more relaxing day tomorrow.
