Hello 2008!

Wow! We are into yet another year...how time flies I tell you! So I wanted to quickly make a note of a few things about the girls that I missed in my last post. For starters my Ab is definitely growing up way to fast. A few days before christmas Ab came out of the shower saying she had a cut on her ankle that was bothering her. At first I was brushing it off and then after all her complaining I told her to show it to me more closely. Well as soon as I saw it I knew exactly what it was. I asked her how she got it, and of course I get the I don't know response. Well I pull up her pant leg and run my hand over her leg, and sure enough she used mommy's razor and shaved her legs. I asked her why she did it and she said that all the kids at school made fun of her"hairy" legs...frickin kids...grrrr... So now I must make sure both John and my razor are up high. I have yet to see how the hair has grown in..perhaps I should check on that today. As for Hadley she too is growing up so quick. Her communication skills are improving...of course she can belt out "MOM" as clear as day. She is slowly starting to get dad out. Her way for asking for milk is putting her hand up to her mouth and making a slurping noise like she is drinking out of a straw. When she is hungry she will rub her stomach and say mmmmm. Unfortunately she is still happy as a clam to be in wet diapers..lol...no interest in using the potty yet...but always wants to wear big girl panties. She is also in love with dresses. She always wants to wear them. The big problem is all she has are really fancy ones to wear. She really has no day to day ones, especially since there are no hand me down ones since Ab really did not have too many. I even find in the stores very little dresses out there. So Hadley ends up being dressed to the hilt most days..lol. I am also finding how terrible the internet can be for kids. I really have to watch where Abigail goes because I have caught a few sites not appropriate for her. It almost seems like no place is safe, and it is so hard to explain to her why...she just gets upset and thinks mom is so mean to not let her go on there. I have asked John to try and find some software to block out all the bad stuff, but he is having a hard time finding something that he knows will work with her computer. There is just so much evil out in this world now..ughh.

O.k. onto other things...we are moving. I know Mell...you are so upset....but I will not be that far from you. We are looking for a place in town so the girls can be near other kids. We are trying to get all the things done around the house so that we can put it up by March. I really hope it sells quickly...I hate th thought of having to keep my house spotlees all the time(no easy task with my children...or me for that matter...LOL) I am pretty sure the house should show well...it is pretty updated and lots of new improvements added in the last few years.

I just visited my friends Rachels blog(btw Rach I tried to comment and it would not let me...screen just came up blank) and I was so jealous to read she was goign to the gym all week. I really want to be able to do that...I hate the thought of exercise but love the felling afterwards....christmas has definitely made me feel blah. But besides that...wtg Rach!!!! you go girl!!!! I might also add she has been scrapping up a storm....her, Katie and Steph! My desire to scrap has been pretty low...I have been wanting to, but then I get in my room and go nahhh....perhaps this weekend I will finish up a few layouts from months gone by.

O.k that is all for now....I just have way to much things to do today and really should start doing them...the one being striping wallpaper border from Ab's room so that we can repaint...yucckkkk.. I absolutley hate doing that. But I do have to make my home pretty if I am going to sell it right.

Later then!
