Week of May 21st, 2012

Monday Hailey had dance, one of her last couple of days before her upcoming recital. Other then that, we didn't even leave the house. We did some fun things, like built a tent and did mom school. When Jaren came home he did the lawn while us girls sat outside and had popsicles since it is SO hot! Tuesday and Wednesday not much went on either. Well, one thing worth mentioning happened on Wednesday. Addy stripped off her diaper and did some finger painting with her own you know what! Ewwwww it was everywhere. Wait til I tell her this when she's sixteen! On Thursday Hailey had a dentist appointment. She was so cute and giggled the ENTIRE time she was there, like she didn't stop at all, until we left. The girls in the office thought it was so funny. Before we left they told her to go pick a toy out of the treasure box. I was checking out and turned to look at her and she literally had her head and shoulders in the box, digging for the best toy! It was so cute and made me wish I was five again and could experience the excitement over something so simple. The dentist said her teeth looked great with no cavities. Yeahhhh!!! Thursday night Addy woke up crying at 10:30 and did not go to sleep until 3AM! She was literally up that entire time. She was acting fussy at first, so I gave her Motrin and ear drops, just in case. Once that kicked in she was chatty Kathy and would not sleep. I was extremely frustrated, and Jaren took over and got her to sleep. Needless to say, Friday we were all VERY tired and did not do much. Saturday Jaren worked while us girls hung out around the house and did some cleaning. When Jaren got home he went swimming with the girls and then he went to his brother Jim's house for UFC night. I put the girls to bed early and did some exercising and watched a movie. We went to bed late Saturday and Jaren's work phone rang numerous times during the middle of the night, so it made for another exhausting day on Sunday. We just hung out around home, did some gardening, cleaned house a little and swam. Hailey was invited to stay the night at her cousin's house, John & Reagan. I didn't think she was going to last the night, and she didn't. She was already starting to change her mind on the way over, so I told her she could call me and say goodnight, and have girl talk. Girl talk is something we started the night Chester died. Right before bed, her and I talk about our day and tell each other our two favorite things from the day. We have been doing it nearly every single night for the past year and a half. I love this part of our day! Anyhow, she called to say goodnight and started getting emotional over the phone and ended up coming home. She comes rightly by it, because Jaren and I both got homesick when we were younger. I was actually happy to have her home, all snuggled in her bed.
