My Kidlets

There are days where I feel like I'm a mother duck and I've got my two little ducklings following behind me trying to keep up to me and the newest little duckling.
There are days where the most we can do is get to the park, wiggle our toes in the sand and go down the slide a few times.
There are days where we stay in our pj's all day, eat popsicles, and put together train sets.
Days of listening to books on tape. Days of painting. Days of side-walk chalk. Days of car rides. Days of bubbles.
But my favorite days of all are the ones spent snuggling on the couch, diving into stories of Peter Pan and the Berenstain Bears. Those days filled with tickling, giggling, and big ol' smooches!
These are days that I never want to forget. Where innocence and magic fill the air. Where our little family is our world and nothing but! To say I am blessed would be a big understatement. 
Oh! How I love my little kidlets!

Got Her Ears Lowered!

 For months I've been asking Lucy if she wants to get her hair cut and every time the response has something to do how she needs her hair to stay long like "Tangled". My counter argument usually entails how Rapunzel cut her hair at the end of the movie and she looked so pretty! "No!" she says, then runs away. Well, this particular Saturday I was able to convince her and she happily agreed! My almost four year old has never had a real haircut before and I think it was about time. That scraggly mess was just getting too long to brush and the squeals/screams/dramatics from me doing her hair were getting old. Fast.
I was actually this close to having her get a bob haircut, giving just enough length of hair to donate. But there was a certain someone (*cough* Alex) who would have had a little less than unhappy reaction. He loves the long locks on his ladies. :)
It's a perfect length for a perfect little lady. Definitely wont be waiting another four years until we cut it again. I can't imagine trying to tame that wild mane!
