We Made It

Well we all made it through our first week of Preschool. Hayden has really enjoyed it, but she sure has been exhausted all week. Gracie has missed Hayden very much, she spent her mornings crawling around the house trying to find her. Gracie did enjoy some Mommy time, she got lots of loving this week (she is so rotten). I missed Hayden like crazy, but it was exciting sitting in the carpool line waiting for her to come out. She looked like such a big girl coming down the walkway with her book bag, lunch box, and that big happy smile to see Mommy and Gracie. I know she is growing up, it's just that she is growing up way too fast. They are both growing up way too fast. Gracie's 1st Birthday Party is next Sunday(WOW). I can't believe that my baby is turning 1, it seems like just yesterday that smiling baby was born.

I took Hayden to eat ice cream after school on Monday and Tuesday. I considered that her treat for going to school and not crying, so when I picked her up yesterday the first thing she said was "I want a chocolate ice cream cone." I told her we were going swimming with Kim instead, and of course the ice cream was no comparison. She was so tired when we got to Kim's, it was almost like she was too tired to swim. We ended up swimming for about an hour before the storms started passing through. Hayden wanted to go inside and play with Spooky, Squeaky, and Buddy. She gave all the animals and treat and ended up playing games on Kim's laptop (she loves to play on the computer). Mimi came for a visit when she got off work, and the girls were excited to see her but they were both so sleepy. Gracie started getting fussy and Hayden was actually ready to go (that is when you know she is tired). We left Kim's around 4:30 and both girls fell asleep and ended up sleeping until about 6:30. They didn't even wake up when I got them out of the car (that hardly ever happens). They woke up just in time to play with Daddy. They played for a couple of hours and we all went to bed early.

Gracie was ready to rise and shine around 7:30 this morning, but Hayden ended up sleeping until 9:15. She sat up in the bed and said "I want to watch my shows in the living room." She has really missed laying around in the mornings. She even told her Daddy last night she was glad she didn't have to go to school today.

Nana and Steve came to watch the girls this afternoon while Mommy got her hair done (YAY). Once again Gracie was a little stinker and wouldn't take a nap. I guess she just loves them so much, she doesn't want to miss anything. Hayden pretty much got to do whatever she wanted (thanks to Steve). It sounds like the girls had a great afternoon. Well I guess I am done, Hayden has informed me that it is time for her to play her games!
