Happy Hat Day!

First and foremost, thank you everyone for your prayers and well wishes for my mom. She is doing much better. She is not quite 100%, but getting there fast. To top things off, both of the girls ended up having ear infections. On Monday, Sidney had a wellness check scheduled. They had both been quite sick with a cough and cold for over a week. Rebecca called me at work and said that Kendall had been complaining about her ear hurting, so she went along for the ride. The doctor checked Kendall's ears and sure enough she had an ear infection. Then during Sid's wellness checkup, he checked her ears and sure enough she had a very bad ear infection also. That would explain all of the crying and mayhem from the previous week. Within 24 hours calamity was gone and we were restored to normal (or what we know as normal).
Today the girls had a lot of fun things going on. Kendall was dying to wear a hat today. She is picking out her own outfits now and does a pretty good job (most days). I must say earlier in the week she picked out all blue. Blue shirt, blue pants, blue fleece or better stated turquoise pants, baby blue shirt and yet an entirely different blue fleece. But I had to applaud - they were all blue. Now back to the hat. She was insisting on a hat because it was raining. Good thinking. She pulled out the first hat and it was way to small. Immediately she said" Sidney can wear this one. It will fit her!". Fit it did! Rebecca told me that Sid wore the hat all day. She would not fall asleep at nap time until that hat was on her head. Silly girl!
Kendall informed me today that she had learned to do "crisscross applesauce". So here she is demonstrating her new talent. Funny thing is, she was having a hard time doing it while sitting on the floor. But no problems at all while teetering on the stool?

She also got to play in the rain. I thought this was awesome. Rebecca said that the kids kept begging to play in the rain. She thought that instead of always saying "no" she thought "why not, they will dry". The kids put on their coats and "danced in the rain". Oh to be a kid again. I have so much to learn from my kids. As we were walking through Costco last night (in a hurry of course). I turned around and there was Kendall bending over smelling the flowers. "They smell beautiful mommy"...

Sid had a "grandma" experience today...

Hitting the chocolate again! Thanks to Rebecca for snapping this funny picture. This will certainly make it to her sweet 16 party!
