One Little Cheerleader..

My little Miss Molly LOVED going to "cheerleader" practice for the last couple weeks. They changed it this year and spread it out over 3 weeks going once a week then the big performance the following Friday, instead of all in one week. I think I liked it this way and she looked forward to going each week and didn't get burned out. She did such a good job, I was a little nervous cuz sometimes at the practice she would just stand and pretty much pick her nose so I was unsure of how she was going to do @ the actual performance. She was a little upset cuz she couldn't see Grandma Kara and Grandma Grape in the stands while she was waiting to dance so she thought they weren't there, so right before her dance she was pretty sad. I gave her a little pep talk and promised ice-cream and assured her they were in the stands with Maggie ( who had earlier dropped her shoe through the bleechers...ahhh! Gotta love that kid) ready to watch her "work it". She did great and just did her thing out there. She rocked it and did get her ice-cream after.

 

 And Molly's biggest cheerleader of all was Maggie, she sat and watched Molly very intently and even did the clap part of the cheers right along with her. She loved it just as much as Molly did, next year they will be able to do it together!

Littles

First off, my nice camera is being super lame right now and the flash isnt working so the best pics I get are outside- I am hoping to have it fixed like NOW, but will have to be patient my other little camera is not doing justice to my needs!!! I am a picture taking fool so I NEED it! That being said Molly had her first Primary Program this past Sunday and the girls looked so darling it needed to be documented. It was a tad sunny, but they adjusted and hammed it up for me! I sure love these two little ladies they make my world so happy!

Molly has been gearing up for the cheer clinic performance this weekend so stay tuned for that! We are just getting all ready for Halloween, making treats, crafts, and decorating our house. I love this time of year  all the festivities and fun things to do. Also Molly will turn 4 in less than a month so party planning is in full force!

 Molly wanted to have a sleepover so I set up a little bed for the girls on our bedroom floor and they thought that was the greatest thing EVER!! Now Molly asks every night if we can make her a special little bed to snuggle Maggie on... Ahhh, sweetest girl ever!

Sweet Little Children

My two sweet little children have really been keeping me on my toes and keep me laughing and driving me crazy all at the same time. Clint has never been so busy with school, Pasta, Broads, and classes in forever, I have been struttin it solo pretty much since school started. This past week I think Clint was home while the girls were awake all of 4 hours TOTAL! It has been rough, but we are making do and it might slow down for a bit at least this week. Those moms who do it solo all the time-WOW, your amazing! That being said I will give a little run down of whats going on... This is just our real life its not all sweet all the time!!!

Molly has been especially naughty the last 2 weeks and it makes me so frustrated some times cuz she totally knows better! I will make a little list:

1: Sadie and Molly took Spaghetti noodles, ritz crackers, fruit loops, water, shredded cheese, and some wheat thins and had them all over my kitchen floor and front room-lets just say I was NOT happy and Molly got in big big trouble! Especially when before I went to lay Maggie down I said "Don't get in the pantry of the fridge"  

2: Molly has had countless "accidents" because she is too busy and doesn't wanna go potty  

3: She tore apart every room-Maggie's, Hers, and the Playroom in about 2 min. right after we had it cleaned and vacuumed 

4: Tore apart Maggie's whole bed sheets and all

5: Got in the fridge got the corn out husked it(leaving the remains all over the house) and ate the RAW ear of corn-this happend more than one day

6:SO much SASS and attitude has been creeping from my sweet little girl

7: She looked at me and said "Mom your just so STUPID" in a not nice voice and then cried for 30 min. when she got put in her room. She knows that is a bad word!

8:Woken Maggie up more than 5 times in 2 weeks from naps!!! Grumpy baby = Grumpy Mommy

9: Poured out a whole bottle of salt all over my kitchen, pantry and couches..grrrr

These are just a few things that still stick in my memory- She has had lots of good moments too: 1:Telling me "Mom, you look so beautifus today" 

2: Giving Maggie Lovies just because 

3:Sharing her toys without a fight to help make Maggie happy 

4:Cleaning up her messes and responding "Sure Mom, you betcha" when I ask her to do something 

5: Asking if she can snuggle me for just one more second

6: saying "your the best mommy in the whole wide word" even after she has been in trouble most the day

7: Asking what she can do that day to be my "special helper"

8: Saying "I love you Mommy" whenever it gets rough!!!!

Most the time she sure is sweet and easy, I think that's what makes it harder when she acts so naughty!

 

Maggie Maggie Maggie

Everyone warned me that Maggie was going to be a stinker since Molly was so easy, well I am beginning to believe that!!! She is so darn cute and such a stinker all at the same time!!

1:She finds a pen and instantly colors all over herself

2: If I leave her for any amount of time there are tears for hours upon my return and her saying "Mommy" and following me everywhere!

3: If someone else comes close to her, tries to hold her, pushes the stroller she is in, looks at her funny she burst into tears

4: She is always trying to get "up high" in her words which means up on top of everything all the time

5: She is SUPER sassy-which I laugh at most the time cuz its so darn funny-she is a total DIVA

6: Has to have a bow and shoes on before she can leave and she HAS to pick her shoes

7: Started to hit and get really mad when someone bugs her

8: Says "mine" for everything so no one touches it

On the flip side

1: Loves to dress up and wear bows and be super girly

2: Loves her little toes painted and asks all the time to have her pretties done

3: Gives the best "lovies" if someone is sad or just because

4: Can communicate really well and always says "Tank you" 

5: Loves to snuggle and says " Love you" all the time

6: Loves to help unload the dishwasher and puts everything on the counter to be put away

7:Loves to just sit and watch me if I am making something 

8: So cute when she talks on the phone "Hello, Bye" repeat repeat repeat

9: She loves when we pack her a little bag full of toys and she puts it on her arm and waves leaves the room and says "a bye" "a bye" 

10: loves being with and copying Molly-they play so sweet together most all the time

 All that put out there they may keep me on my toes and drive me crazy, but there is nothing I would rather be doing then spending my days with them, watching them, laughing with them, teaching them, and just being their mom. They are so sweet and cute as can be most the time we just have our moments as most do I guess. I am one lucky mom and I am sure glad they can keep me on my toes it just keeps my life interesting and worth living! Love you Crazies with all my heart!

 Other:

 Rodeo parade and rodeo afterwords with some friends

 I made the girls these matching little outfits and love how they turned out- they looked so cute in them and I can't wait to make more.... I have been on a craft kick- a lot of spray paint and sewing have been going on around these parts!

 Maggie's hair is barely long enough for real piggies-they don't last very long, but sure are cute- She has to wear this when we take Molly to ballet and then the whole time there she looks in the window saying "Ballet, Ballet, Ballet" over and over the whole class and wants to go in so bad!!!

Maggie @ 19 Months Old

Magadoo is now 19 Months Old, I can't believe she is that much closer to turning 2. She is such a ham and full of sass. I get a kick out of her every day and she is really starting to repeat pretty much whatever we say. She can talk and say so many more words than Molly was able too at this stage. She is REALLY into the potty, takes her pants,diaper, off goes in her room and gets her panties for me to put on. I don't know if I am ready for this, but she may be. She went all morning with just one accident so I guess I may or may not try and attempt training her in the next couple weeks. We will see!!!! She still is a crazy climber and has NO fear. She loves Molly so much and still cries for about 10 minutes when we drop Mol off at preschool! She sure keeps my life interesting. When I am gone for even 10 minutes and come back she says "Mamma" like 100 times over and over like she is trying to make sure I don't leave again. It is kinda tough to leave her because she is still WAY upset if I leave... I guess she will grow out of it so no worries!

 Big Girl Panties

 She insisted on putting these on AFTER she got dressed in her jamies

 

Molly and Maggie comparison: They are SO different in looks and personalities and I love it that way!

Crazy!!!!

It seems like since Clint started back to school our lives have been moving at full speed and I am exhausted. We have seriously been on the move here and there since the first of August and there is no sign of slowing down.... I really would love a weekend to just sit at home and play with the girls and not do one thing. O well, it has still been fun just busy!

Maggie Goes to Insta-Care

O I knew this day would come sooner than later with this crazy monkey, but I didn't think it would have been like this..  I was thinking more of stitches or broken bones from jumping off or climbing up things.WRONG!!! We were in town shopping a bit and Clint had taken Maggie out of the store to run around, well when he brought her back in he was kinda swinging her back and forth a little and she was giggling and smiling like crazy. He went to put her down and she started to SCREAM her head off and cry uncontrollably..I picked her up instantly and looked at her right arm and she would NOT move it. I panicked right there in the store trying to calm her down and figure out what happened. Clint was looking at me just shocked and just in a daze as to the sudden change of feelings Maggie had. I started bending her elbow back and forth and it was moving fine, then when I tried to bend her little wrist back and forth she SCREAMED again and started to cry and whimper. So I knew we would be going to Insta-Care- 

We had Molly with us and went straight there-I am not one to rush in, but I knew she was in extreme pain and it was pretty bad. There was no wait except we were still there for 3 hrs!!! The Doc came in and checked her and he thought it was her elbow out of socket, but when he moved her arm and wrist it hurt her more than it would if it was just her elbow so we had to get an x-ray to make sure she didn't fracture her wrist/arm...X-Ray was awful, I had to bend and hold her little hand/arm every which way to get good pictures all the while she was screaming her head off and looking at me like "HELP" The tech gave her a roll of Princess Stickers and she calmed right down...

They looked at her x-ray and ruled out fracture, but could see her elbow was clearly out of socket or whatever. He came in and asked if he could pop it back in I said "Of Course lets fix it RIGHT now" (duh) Mag started to cry really hard as soon as he touched her and tried to pop it in, after a second of rotating her arm I heard it "pop" loud and clear. She was still not moving it and acted like she was still in pain (once they pop it in she should act like nothing every happened and it doesn't hurt at all) he was baffled, went and got her a sucker and tried again and wah-la it "popped" again-she was still WAY sad and hurting so he was baffled and went and got another doc to look at the x-ray and come look at her. He came in and popped it a 3rd time and after that she moved around and acted like nothing happened. We took her stickers, suckers, and got the heck out of there. I was so glad it was such an easy fix  compared to a broken bone or something... 

Little Pitiful girl waiting for the doc to come in....look at those sad sad eyes!

 After that we were exhausted and went to eat pizza and then ice cream...You can see she was back to being crazy in no time. What a relief!

 

Leave it to Maggie-

the next morning right before church Maggie fell face first into the corner of the TV stand in our room! I grabbed her fast and picked her up and just prayed she didn't cute her face and need stitches-that would NOT look good going back to Insta-Car just hours later for something totally different. Not good at all-Thankfully she had a bad scratch but not deep enough for stitches!!!! It was pretty swollen for about twenty minutes then it just turned into a yucky scratch...

Right After

 Just before we left to church

 Next Day!

 

Molly My Preschool Rockstar-

Molly is LOVING pre-school and telling me all sorts of fun things she learns about. She gets in the car and talks and talks about everything from who cried cuz they couldn't sit on the animal they like on the rug or who played so so nice and what she colored and that she didn't scribble this time. She LOVES her teacher and all the kids in her class...I helped one day and as I was with her waiting with the kids to get picked up she went around and hugged each one (even boys) then she went back around to all the girls and said "Your my friend" then she turned to the boys and said "your NOT my friend-you boy!" they looked at her like whatever and we had to have a talk that boys are our friends too! Now she LOVES talking about her friends ALL of them even the "gross boys"

 

We have also had lots of fun play time mixed with our crazy one morning Clint even took the girls to get special do-nuts with Daddy!

 Here is to the next few months of CRAZY!!!
