New Bicycles and a Snow Storm...

What a wonderful combination! the little girls were given new bicycles that they picked out at Wal-mart. Anna loved her on sight so much, that when the employee went to pump up the tires, she screamed and cried, and flailed around until he came back, well even after he brought back the bike actually...As for Robyn, she thinks hers is so cool. Especially since it is a Barbie bike with all of the Barbie accessories attached. The only problem...we are in the midst of a winter "weather advisory" according to the weatherman, but let's just call it what it truly is, shall we...a STORM! Hopefully soon, the weather will cooperate, we are suffering from a bit of cabin fever here!

Santa did what "he" wasn't going to...

Yes, Santa did buy Robyn a Barbie...I told myself and the hubby that I was not, but with the help of Grandma and Grandpa House, I did, I went out and got Robyn her own Barbie...what was I thinking? Anna will pull it's hair all out and Robyn will lose her shoes within the first hour if we are truly lucky! Plus, fighting will ensue for the doll herself...Wish us luck!

Asking Questions Instead of Making Statements...

That is what Robyn (4) has not been doing. She will state something instead of asking, at first it was funny and now it is just annoying. She will say something like, "Santa is bringing me a barbie!" instead of asking something like, "Is Santa bringing me a Barbie for Christmas?" She is so certain and states her case with such conviction, I don't know what I am going to do!

The Sunshine is Beautiful!

Yesterday the girls and I went for a walk (Mommy needed this), they got their hair trimmed (necessary), we took a detour to the bank, (necessary), got home and spent over an hour in their swings (for fun), and Mommy took pictures...of what you ask? My flowers, all of them! The roses, the gigiantic lavendar bush, the yucca flowers that has bloomed (never seen that before), the lone remaining bleeding heart on the large bush, and even the tomato plants, and the tomatoes that are beginning to come on in place of the large blooms that were there before, etc. I am so pleased! We had a great day together!
