January 2015

Okay new years resolution over here to post more and more pictures. I feel like things are already going at warp speed and I need to try and remember it all as WE ALL know my brain won't remember. Things are good. Will started to travel this week. WE had a great holiday season, can't believe I didn't blog about it. We had a halloween party and we were all the cast from The Wizard of Oz. Allison wanted to be dorothy and we all followed suite. We really had a fun time around the neighborhood trick or treating. It was on a Friday this year. The whole neighborhood gets in on the fun and everyone is outside handing out candy and something mom/dad "juice" :). MP didn't want to dress up, and I didn't stress much about it. She was the lion but refused to wear the hat so she just wore a brown suit :). Thanksgiving we had everyone mom/fred, nat/wyatt, dad, and the Hortons over for the day. It was fun but man what an ordeal regarding all the dishes that we had to clean. For Christmas we had mom/fred over for Christmas Eve Dinner which Alaina/Brett came over for to. Will and I went to the Christmas Eve Service at church. We found out we were pregnant on the 22nd. Which was exciting although we miscarried a week later. The girls loved Christmas, Allison got overwhelmed again but not nearly as bad as the last year. She got peppa pig stuff, art stuff, a barbie bike. They both got a store to share and big leggos. MP got a slide, a riding toy thing that sings. Although we try to ride that now she is a little too big. We went to crockett after we opened stuff from Santa and mom/dad and made it for lunch. We stayed until that sat night. It was a good christmas, grandmother and grandaddy gave them pottery barn sleeping bags and gift cards etc. Besides all the business of the holiday season, January has been relatively quiet which we have enjoyed. We are planning on going to Hot Springs in Feb. The girls have been good, they are playing with most of their toys. They love peppa pig, bubble guppies. MP obsessed with the movie frozen and little rascals. She is really talking more and becoming a stinker, but still HILARIOUS. We call her thighs HAMHOCKS. she still loves to eat. Allison still hates to eat unless its pizza, quesadillas, pb and j :) always a struggle. We start reading to them around 730 and then put MP in crib, we usually sing to her Hush little Baby and Allison sings it with me. Then we lay with Allison until she falls asleep. So somewhere btw 830-9 we can relax. I am always so tired by the time 9 comes around. The girls are loving school. Its so nice to not fight with them on going to school. I hope it continues. I worry about Allison going to Kindergarten next year and being so young. I know she will have a tough time. The girls have been doing very well, usually after I pick them up from school we will either do an errand or come home. I let them watch a little tv and have a snack if they want. then we will play or do something until 5 I am usually still trying to clean and fix dinner. Girls always want to do arts and crafts, play calico critters, sometimes we play store. Another cute thing the do a lot is wear their frozen nightgowns and we introduce them at the end of the hall and they come running into living room to sing LET IT GO. Allison loves going to the movies, I can't wait to be able to take both of them to it. MP still takes nap around 1230/1-330/4. She still takes a paci and has her music in her room. Allison is obsessed with Bailey, it gets kind of annoying bc she is always wanting to hold her or touch her and bailey gets scared.
