Some fun....

Fun #1

Me and Joshy took advantage of having Damaris today. We woke up and left the girls at home while we went to breakfast at The Bagel Shop and picked up some last minute Passover items...ha!

Fun #2

Marshalls at Post Oak. I got the girls some goodness all for less than $10 each. I'm talking 6.99, 7.99, 9.99. I might go back tomorrow.

Fun #3

Me and the girls took a field trip to Central Market. Laine was on her best shopping behavior and Liv loved it as usual. They must have known we were in our favorite store.

Fun #4

Joshy came home early from work and we played outside with the next door neighbor grandchildren and then our friend Edie surprised us for a quick visit.

Fun #5

Put those cranky, spent girls to sleep and made two Passover treats. Charoset(apples, walnut, cinnamon, sugar) and some Chocolate Matzah Brittle which is exactly what it sounds like. I even got fancy and sprinkled craisens and almonds on half of it.

Fun #6

(this was supposed to be #5, but I can't figure out how to cut and paste)

Prolonging the girls time between dinner and bedtime by letting them eat ritz crackers all over my living room. I didn't even care that I had to vaccuum it all up. You should have seen their faces while they were holding these crackers in their hands, walking around the room, eating and crumbling....everywhere...ha! I wish I would have gotten out my camera.

Now...I don't want to be misleading. There was much chaos mixed in with this fun. Both of my girls constantly want to be held by me simultaneaously. Both of my girls love to put things like sticks and leaves in their mouths. Both of my girls like to walk down the street and into the street....we're practicing driveways. I'm also fighting that constant fight for balance in life. Balance between neurotic and calm, the balance between germophobic and germ lover, the balance between organized and chaotic, and the balance between planner and spontaneous.

Laurie had a great idea today. She said just be each end of the spectrum 50% of the time. I think I like that.

And now for the last little bit of fun...

Fun #7

Blogging. It is seriously so fun sitting at my computer telling these stories to nobody. One of my neighbors told me the other night that she doesn't understand how a mother of three(she was talking about someone else)has time to sit down and recount all of the details of her day on her computer. I didn't tell her that I do it too. I don't make time for this, I love my time for this. The end. Done. Fun.
