PHew. One more week to go until Chris comes back. Thank goodness. I have told him repeatedly that he has no worries--I won't be divorcing him until our kids are at least 17. I certainly don't want to be a full-time single parent ;) I'll take his long work hours, minimal availability to no availability any time ;) The extra body and change of scenery does wonders for our kiddos. Sundays have been the most difficult day each week. I was convinced it was because we don't typically go out and about and are locked in the house, looking at each other all day long. I was obviously mistaken. Mya was battling a low grade fever all week. No idea what that was about, but I couldn't stay home with her until Friday as we were in the midst of national standardized testing, which makes work a must. I did end up keeping them both home on Friday. I think we would have all been better off at work/school. It was one of THOSE days if you know what I mean. Tough! Saturday was great. We did the usual, errands, commissary, bx, naps, long walk, multiple playgrounds, etc. It was good. The weather was gorgeous, so an outside day was necessary. Sunday we had a birthday party. It was also good. It was for Lana, Claire's best bud at school. It was a Pinkalicious party, so the girls all got tutus, magic wands, and decorated their own cupcakes. It was a hit. However, I was bombarded with 3, I repeat 3 invitations on Wednesday at her school. I've decided I need to stock up on some birthday gifts so I can give something other than bx treasures, which every kid basically has. I took care of that today. Shopping = fun. Otherwise, we enjoyed some afternoon time outside. THe kids were fascinated with the umbrella to our table and I played around a bit with my camera. I even shot some MANUAL!! Amazing! All in all, I am trying my best to treasure my girl time, but still cannot wait to have my husband back. I miss the adult interaction--he's not a phone talker at all, but does better in person! ha.

Love ya,

Regarding Claire's battle wounds...yes, Mya is definitely seeking revenge. I am just thanking my lucky stars that Claire doesn't fight back. I would then have a war to contend with! Oiy. I show the battle scars and kid about their naughty ways, but they really are truly great kids. We are very lucky. I recognize how well behaved they are each time I take them out in public and see the majority that don't compare. I'll have to keep having more if we keep getting this lucky ;)
I like your flip flops, you seem smaller in the window picture or is Claire getting bigger?? The girls look good. Sounds like you had a nice weekend.
