Like Mother, Like Daughter
Kate is sick today and Daddy stayed home with her. When I know that Pete will be there in the morning I cannot get out of bed because I convince myself that things will go so much faster with Pete there helping me. So after much prompting from Pete, I finally got up - about 45 later than I should have! When I got downstairs Ella was already up, but laying on the couch watching cartoons. I asked her what she wanted for breakfast and she told me that her brain just won't wake up and she can't decide. Finally she did make the decision. I told her to come over and eat and she said, "Mommy, my head is really tired this morning. My brain must be tucked into my tummy." Pete and I both laughed out loud. I told her that it sounded serious. Poor girl! She' s not a Monday morning kind of girl either - she couldn't possibly get it from me though!

Busy, busy, busy
Well, we aren't really that busy, just don't find a lot of time to update our blog...obviously! The girls are growing like weeds!
Ella is loving school and is growing up way too fast. She is really eager to learn to read and is able to read some basic words by herself. She's like a little adult and we can have a "real" conversation with her. I keep trying to convince her to stay 4 forever. She has now decided that she will because our babysitters grandson told her that in Kindergarten you have to lay down and rest. She isn't having any of that so she will just stay 4 and in preschool for the rest of her life. Fine by me!
Kate is talking non-stop and we can understand nearly everything that she says. She is learning her manners too - we were in Gap the other day and she was walking past a man. Instead of saying "excuse me" she said "excuse you" just as plain as could be. The man laughed. He was very understanding because he had a 7 and 10 year old girl - just about the same age difference as Ella & Kate.
Other that that, we are getting ready for Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, and SPRING! I'm ready for the warmer weather and playing outside!
