Our Busy Busy Days

My busy days with Violet and Lucia have brought back memories (suppressed memories) of having two very small children...memories of   Karl wondering what happened to the beautiful girl he married because his frumpy wife  was spending the majority of her time in sweats with her  hair tied back with a bandana.

My days currently starts at 6:00 am with a cute little Lucia announcing that the day has started and it doesn't slow down until 8:30 pm when we tuck the little cuties into bed. Then I unwind to one episode of Downton Abbey...shower and fall exhausted into bed with wet hair.  This morning Karl noted that I was wearing the same clothes I had the day before and maybe I should wear a hat.

Our home can be identified by the cheerios smashed in the entry.

I look forward to:

•  11:30 nap time for Lucia...during which Violet chatters incessantly peppering me with the same questions over and over and over.

• An afternoon movie...they always choose Lilo & Stitch.

• And Karl coming home...I have questioned why he is coming home late this week?

 As soon as Karl walks in the door we head out the door to do something to wear the wee little ones out

a long walk

Butterfly park

Tonight is swimming.

(Karl and I eat dinner in shifts while supervising "Glow stick bath time and teeth brushing."

Music to my ears is Violet saying "Gramma, I'm so tired can I please go to bed."

Having so much fun is so exhausting!

 Yes, Lucia is naked...it is the best way to play in the water... it saves on diapers!

 Princess time.

 Dancing to Disney Music

 Violet is doing the Hula...learned from Lilo and Stitch for Mommy and Papi in Hawaii.

So how do I have time to post a blog...in 15 second increments.  We've been through paper dolls, telling time, American girl catalog, color book, puzzles, the back of my computer chair has been unscrewed and miles of thread has been woven about my sewing room.

Well, it's time to get Lucia up from her nap...so she will sleep tonight.
Chad and Janet have fun in Hawaii...we're having a great time here.
