Had dinner at Jeremy and Andrea's house tonight. Had a great time Tony's last night before heading back to Colorado, it's going to be a long 4 months!  .  Girls were very sad at bedtime when they had to say goodbye to daddy:(

Aubrey was home sick today, she had a fever, headache and the chills.  I hate seeing my babies sick! Tonight she seems to be doing better, hopefully she can go to school tomorrow.  Tony leaves on Saturday to head back to Colorado.  That transition is going to be very hard on all of us.  June can't get here fast enough!

Today was a Great day!!  We all went to sunburst for some fun in the snow.  I took Aubrey tubing.  She did great, we made it 2 hours.  It was so much fun.  She was able to pull her tube and stand on the conveyor belt up to the top of the hill.  We sat in seperate tubes, but I held her rope to keep us together down the hill.  At one point she decided, mid-hill, to get on top of the tube and lay on her stomach like a bird flying through the air.  Gave me a little heart-attack, but she loved it, and went down like that the rest of the day.  Tony took Makenna for her first ski lesson.  She did awesome, I am so proud of her!  After Aubrey and I were done, we had dinner with Mak and daddy and then got to watch her go down the bunny hill a bunch of times.  It was so cute.  The hardest part for her was getting up the rope lift.  We all had such a great time, and can't wait to go again.  Next time,  I think we will get lessons for Aubrey:}

Girls are having a great time, they spent the night by Auntie Carols last night, and are at the urban ecology center today for storytime in a teepee.  Tony and I went to dinner at Fila Bene in Mequon and saw the movie Extremely Loud Incredibly Close, which was terrible.  I miss my girls and hope I get to see them before I go to work this afternoon.

Chaperoned Makenna's brownie troop on an outing to the Humane Society. Kids had a great time looking at all the doggies and kittens:) Got my hair done tonight, glad to feel back to myself again, and so happy to have my greys covered.

Makenna had Abby over for a playdate after school today, they had a great time doing a science fair and making special potions!

Aubrey asked today if people are alive in heaven.She talks a lot about dying, heaven, and death lately.  She asks a lot of questions I don't have  a clue how to answer.  Luckily the conversation usually refers back to Grandma Adams.  She said Grandma is not dead anymore because she is an angel. Makenna has been very emotional lately.  Not sure what is going on with her, if it is because we are moving in a few months.. I worry about her, but I know she is a tough cookie, just a very sensitive little girl, with so much love in her heart.  Everyday I am reminded how blessed I am for the my two beauties!!

Had a great night hanging out with my girlfriends Amy (better known as "G") and Lauri.  Girlfriends are definitely good for the soul.  We shared many funny stories, including one about someone's child having a third nipple, which I had never heard of! I love having friends in my life that make me laugh so much, even when it is about myself:) Also realized, with the help of said friends, that I need to spend a little more time appreciating my husband.  So I am going to work on that:)

We all had a great time today at SimonGilhooly's 2nd birthday party.  It was at the harborside inn, at the pool. Lauri and I are making Simon a canvas with leave shapes cut from old clothes and blankets of his.  We didn't quite get it finished in time, but Aubrey was sweet enough to give him some of her toys she no longer needed:) Tonight Aubrey asked me when I am bigger, what do I want to be?  Tough question, still not sure.  I did mention photography, she really thought I should want to be an artist instead.  When she grows up she wants to be everything, that is everything that girls are.  Makenna wants to be a football player?!?!  She started crying when I told her girls aren't usually professional football players.  Then I felt bad, who am I to say she couldn't be a football player, especially when all I ever tell them is they can be whatever they want, as long as it makes them happy.  Not rich, truly happy!

Girls are so happy to have daddy back home!  Tried to figure out the school situation in Colorado, very confusing and stressful!

"Mom, I think God and Santa Clause are brothers. and I think the Easter bunny and St. Nick are brothers." Aubrey:)

Tony accepted an offer today from Comcast, looks like we moving back to denver.  Mixed feelings!

1/5/1012

Aubrey proclaimed tonight that she is going to marry Jacob Deheck...who is 10.  She then said that when he died she was going to marry Cooper, and when he dies,well she'll marry Mason.  Too cute.  Makenna at dinner exposed Tony's secret to Papa, that he hates Newport Shores(one of grandpa's favorite places to take us) and tells her every time we are on our way to go there. Good thing daddy wansn't there, hopefully I remember to tell him that is "secret" has been revealed.

Did  some work w/ Aubrey on her sight words, she seems very interested! I did have to put her to bed early tonight as punishment since she bit her sister in the car!  Thought that stage was over.

1/3/2012

Made it back safely from Colorado last night.  Girls went back to school today, but this afternoon Makenna came down with the stomach flu:( Hope my sweet girl is better tomorrow, and that my other tootsie doesn't get it next!
