FALL IS COMING!!!

WE DID NOT HAVE A BAD SUMMER, IT WAS QUITE MILD ALTHOUGH AUGUST WAS MORE BRUTAL WHICH IS WHY I AM SO EXCITED THAT FALL IS HERE. FOOTBALL SEASON HAS ARRIVED, AND WILL IS ON CLOUD NINE. WE HAVE BEEN BUSY AND REALLY ENJOYING THE HOUSE AND THE TOWN. WILL IS STILL ON THE FENCE BECAUSE HE FEELS WE ARE LIVING WITH A BUNCH OF A-HOLES BUT I HAVE MET SOME REALLY NICE PEOPLE AND THE TOWN IS VERY FAMILY FRIENDLY. WE JOINED THE PROSPER UNITED METHODIST CHURCH WHICH IM EXCITED ABOUT. THE GIRLS JUST STARTED SCHOOL- ALLISON IS IN THE 4 YR OLD PRESCHOOL CLASS, AND MP IS IN TODDLER PRIDE-18MO. THEY SEEM TO LIKE IT, ALTHOUGH MP CRIES (2ND TIME TO DROP OFF) BUT I THINK SHE WILL GET USED TO IT MORE. ALLISON SEEMS TO REALLY LIKE IT. ITS FROM 9-2 M-TH AND MP GOES M AND W FROM 9-2. SHE HAS A CUTE NAP MAT I GOT FROM POTTERY BARN AND THEY BOTH TAKE THEIR LUNCH. I HAVE BEEN PACKING SANDWICHES (PB AND J) AND TURKEY/CHEESE WITH CRACKERS FOR MP. ALLIE WANTS BROCCOLI SOUP- SHE IS OBSESSED WITH IT. I PACK FRUIT USUALLY ORANGES OR STRAWBERRIES. I ALSO PACK THEM MILK AND A SNACK USUALLY GOLDFISH OR NUTRIGRAIN BAR. MOM AND FRED ARE MOVING TO DALLAS. IM EXCITED, I THINK IT WILL BE AWESOME TO HAVE MOM AND FRED HERE NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT FOR THE GIRLS TOO. ALLISON DOING PRETTY WELL, STILL WORKING ON BEHAVIOR STUFF, THIS WEEK MAY NEED TO WORK ON ATTITUDE. FOR 3-4 WEEKS WE WORKED ON LISTENING AND DOING WHAT WE ASK THE FIRST TIME. SHE DID REALLY WELL WITH IT, SHE WOULD GET A MARBLE AND SO MANY WOULD EARN HER A REWARD. ALTHOUGH I ASKED HER WHAT REWARD SHE WANTED AND SHE DIDNT KNOW. NOW SHE WANTS HER REWARD TO SLEEP WITH MOMMY AND DADDY. I FEEL SO BAD AND THE WORST MOM, MY NERVES HAVE JUST BEEN TERRIBLE. NOW THAT SHE IS IN SCHOOL ITS BETTER BUT STILL I JUST DONT HAVE PATIENCE WITH HER. I NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER, AND BE MORE FUN. I JUST STRESS ABOUT ALL THERE IS TO DO AND IT SEEMS NO TIME TO DO IT, BUT NOW THAT THE GIRLS ARE IN SCHOOL SOME I REALLY REALLY FEEL IT WILL HELP. BUT THEY ARE DOING WELL. MP IS GROWING UP. THEY BOTH LIKE TO DANCE, MP TWIRLS AROUND AND AROUND UNTIL SHE FALLS. ALLISON SHAKES A LOT. SHE IS VERY CURIOUS AND HAS ALL SORTS OF QUESTIONS. SHE PLAYS WITH KYNLEIGH AND KYLEIGH ALL THE TIME WHICH IS FUN THAT SARA AND I ARE SO CLOSE. MP STILL LOVES TO EAT WHICH I LOVE. :) SHE IS THINNING OUT EXCEPT ON HER THIGHS, CUTE BABY . SHE HATE HATES FOR ANYONE TO DO ANYTHING WITH HER HAIR. SHE IS STARTING TO GET A LITTLE PARTICULAR ON ALL DIAPER CHANGES AND GETTING DRESSED BUT LOVES TO GO BYE BYE AND PUT ON SHOES SO I USUALLY GET HER TO COOPERATE THEN. SHE LOVES TO PUSH STROLLERS, GROCERY CARTS, AND THIS LITTLE TRAY AROUND THE HOUSE ALL THE TIME. SHE LOVES BABIES. ALLISON HAS STARTED PLAYING MORE WITH HER CALICO CRITTERS WHICH IS GOOD ALTHOUGH WE DID BUY HER THAT NEW LARGE DOLL HOUSE FOR HER BIRTHDAY :) OH WELL. SHE STILL LIKES TO PLAY GROCERY STORE TOO. SHE IS ALSO INTO LEGOS. MP LOVES LOVES PUZZLES. IM GETTING EXCITED FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR!! JUST FOUND OUT THAT AUNT SANDRA HAS BREAST CANCER :( CANCER IS JUST TERRIBLE. ITS EVERYWHERE IT SEEMS. OUR TYPICAL NIGHT STILL INCLUDES OUR NORMAL SCHEDULE: 545-6 EAT DINNER- ROTATION SPAGHETTI, BROCCOLI SOUP OR BROCCOLI WITH PORK TENDERLOIN/FRUIT, VEGGIES, RAVIOLI, PIZZA, GIRLS LOVE FRUIT-GRAPES, STRAWBERRIES, PINEAPPLE (ALTHOUGH MP HATES IT), WATERMELON. ONLY COOKIE ALLISON WILL EAT ARE OREOS, MP EATS THEM BUT ONLY LIKES THE WHITE PART. THEY USALLY HAVE HONEY NUT CHERIOS IN THE MORNING, OR MP LOVES EGGS. ALLIE WILL EAT A BITE OF EGGS IF WE HAVE CROISSANTS, ALTHOUGH ALLIE LOVES PANCAKES AS LONG AS IT HAS SYRUP. SNACKS: GOLDFISH, GRAHAM CRACKERS, FRUIT, NUTS, FRUIT STRIPS. THEY USALLY AFTER DINNER TAKE A BATH AND THEN AROUND 7 THEY PLAY AND THEN WATCH A LITTLE TV. IM TRYING AND DOING SO MUCH BETTER IN THIS HOUSE FOR THEM TO GO BRUSH THEIR TEETH AROUND 730 AND THEN DO BOOKS ETC SO WE ARE GOING TO SLEEP AROUND 8. MP STILL SO EASY AND WE JUST PUT HER STRAIGHT IN THE CRIB BUT ALLIE YOU HAVE TO LAY WITH HER UNTIL SHE FALLS ASLEEP. ONCE SHE IS READY TO FALL ASLEEP IT ONLY TAKES LIKE 5 MIN BUT GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE SHE IS READY TO GO TO SLEEP TAKES A LITTLE LONGER, BUT SOME NIGHT MORE RATHER THAN NOT WE ARE DONE AROUND 830-845. WE USUALLY PLAY ON COMPUTER WATCH A MOVIE OR WHAT NOT.
