A little update with PHOTOS!!!!

The last couple of months have been a blur. The girls started preschool and soon after I started subbing again. I've consistently been subbing two or three days a week so life has been a bit more hectic. The girls have gotten into a nice routine and Katie Jo loves going to school four mornings a week. I fretted at first, thinking it would be too much, but she loves her teacher and has begun "teaching" at home. Georgia loves her days at school too and the days that she isn't in school and I happen to sub I have a wonderful friend of mine that keeps her. Georgia especially looks forward to these days since it's something she has that's just her without the big sis around.

I put together some moments from the last month or so.


Georgia's position to watch tv or to take off on the ladybug depending on which comes first!Katie Jo had show and tell at school and she was beside herself with the chance to take in Daisy, her lovie.

Both girls have gone on a bed strike. Katie Jo's started about a month ago when Jay built her a tent in her room with her sleeping bag. Sometimes she makes her way to the door and then usually into our bed. Georgia has completely given up the crib and we made a pallet on the floor. She loves this and as soon as we get our hands on a twin mattress set we'll set her up in a proper bed.


This was my view from the front of the van last weekend when we traveled to the upstate. Gotta love it!
A week or so ago I took the girls to a local corn maze/petting zoo/pumpkin patch/hayride place and the weather was terribly yucky. Georgia didn't mind but from the pictures you can see KJ felt otherwise. They both loved painting pumpkins and the hay bale maze.









The next picture makes me laugh. When I look at it, it makes me think of the following nursery rhyme.

There was a little girl,
Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good,
She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.
-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

No, she's not really horrid, but sometimes she is hard to keep up with.


These photos were from last Sunday when we were in the upstate.
