What happened to my babies???!!!

Mya being a punk. I wanted her to smile, but she had other ideas.
Our beauties. Lately, I've been captivated by  how old they seem to be getting. I can honestly look at them both and no longer see babies of any kind. Mya is definitely a little person. She'll be moving into the two year old room at school and has already tested those waters. I am told she can definitely hold her own with the older crowd, but I guess that is to be expected when she is always with her sister. Claire is pushing her way into competition beyond preschool. Tear. Tear. I know growing up is inevitable, but I'd love it to slow down just a tad. Time is flying even though I am trying desperately to cherish each moment.
Claire completing the entire box of tangrams. I guess I need to find some a bit more challenging.
I downloaded a few educational apps to my Ipod. Claire loves, loves, loves to play them (I am sure Chris is cringing at this idea--he strictly forbids the kids to mess with the Ipod/computers, etc. when he is around. Not me ;) Anyway, it has worked out well. Mya plays the IXL, Claire plays the Ipod and I run. Fun times.  
Claire's "CRAZY" hairdo for celebrating Dr. Seuss week at school.
She's so beautiful. Really. Look at those eyes!

These eyes too. Gorgeous! A fantastic sense of humor to boot!

Mya always pats her babies backs and says "shhhhh." It is the sweetest thing ever. I've been meaning to capture the moment, but never have until this morning.

Claire showing off her Popeye's chicken tender. Yummy!

Your girls are both so darling! I wish I had girls of my own to do crazy hair dos and all. And totally know what you mean about your hubs not wanting the girls to touch all things electronics--my husband is the same way, but when he's not around I say go buck wild! ;)

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

2 weeks...

As I write this, my house is being cleaned and not by me. This is my favorite day of the week. There is nothing like going home to a clean house and smelling the bleach to know it is germ free as well. This is my second good day in a row! I took the day off yesterday. Claire didn't have school due to Fasching (German equivalent of Halloween--minus the door to door trick or treating), so I gave Mya the option of hanging out with us as well. She took some convincing, but later said she had a great day. I must admit that I was focused on giving my back a much needed break, so my morning consisted of napping and laying on the couch. Not my best parenting in action, but it did wonders for the rest of the day. We met Chris for lunch, then returned home to enjoy the sunshine before the girls' swimming lessons. It was in the 50's yesterday, absolutely gorgeous! It really is hard to believe that we made it through the entire winter with no snow. I think it snowed possibly 2 days, b...
