Keeping up with the girls

The girls seem to have limitless energy or I am just losing energy. We had a busy couple of months.  I had to squeeze one more Legoland visit in before our membership expired, we went to Disneyland & then off we went to Hawaii.  Plus in between all of that I held my first garage sale.  I was surprised how much money I made - too bad it is already all gone.  It just burned a hole in my pocket.

I dragged Phil to a timeshare presentation over Thanksgiving weekend because I was offered tickets to Disneyland if I went.  It was a fiasco trying to get the tickets - it only took 6 months.  I think their ploy was to have people give up but not me.  I was a pain in their butt until they gave them to me.  We ended up going on Mother's Day and I thought it was perfect.  Very little wait time for the rides.  The longest we waited was 20 minutes and that was to see Pooh.  Unfortunately after the first 10 minutes of waiting Pooh needed a rest and they changed out characters and Tigger wasn't good enough for Reagan.  She only wanted to meet Pooh.  Harper enjoyed hugs from both Eeyore and Tigger while Reagan just help take pictures.  Obviously the Princesses were the big hit and we really luck out in waiting in line for them.  When we got in line and the Princess show started so everyone got out of line to go see that and we figured the girls would rather meet princesses than see them in a show so we stayed.  It was a painless day at Disneyland - YEAH!!

We also made princess crowns

I LOVED Reagan's outfit she decided to wear.

Princess Harper

Reagan liked jumping on the bed at the hotel we stayed at for Disneyland

Harper decided to make a call on the hotel phone

 

They both won't look at the camera when meeting the characters

They seemed so scared to meet the princesses but they were super excited afterwards

Spring in San Diego.............

The weather has been fantastic so far this spring.  We have had many pool days already.  I set up a kiddie pool in our back yard and put the slide next to it.  Unfortunately Harper needs to be watched like a hawk when the pool comes out.  She thinks it is a good idea to stand at the top of the slide (it is maybe 2-3 ft high) and jump in the pool from the top.  She is fearless.  She is also beyond ready to be potty trained.  I have put it off since I am pregnant but it has to be done.  Harper has become our resident streaker.  Anytime she goes to the bathroom she takes off her clothes and diaper (she either hands me the diaper or leaves it in a secret hiding place) and runs around then twirls and then throws her arms up and says "ta-da".

It's Been Awhile...................

Wow it has been 2 months since I have wrote anything but I have a good reason.  Baby #3 is on its way and the baby has given me the worst morning sickness.  Being pregnant with 2 small kids running around has made me confident that there will NOT be a #4.  I am in my 15th week and am starting to feel better, phew.  I am thankful that I will never have to go through a 1st trimester again.=)

Reagan and Harper are excelling at school.  Reagan is finally talking to the teachers and Harper now runs the class.  They both talk your ears off and the word "mom" has driven me crazy lately.  Reagan will repeat "mom" 20 times in a row.  My response is "Yes" or "I am right here" and she will continue to say "mom".  It's like she has nothing to say she just wants to say "mom".  They both have turned the corner of finally getting along more than they fight.  YEAH!!  They still hit and pull hair but it is occurring less often now.  Reagan is still possessive of everything (even though it may be Harper's bike it is still considered Reagan's) but is willing to share more.  Harper is our dancer.  She just breaks out dancing even when there is no music.  Her Mickey mouse scooter plays a tune which is her favorite song to dance to.  I have caught Phil humming along to it unknowingly to himself.  She has a butt dance where she likes to stick it out and then at the end she throws her arms up and says ta-da.  Reagan is our next American Idol.  She loves to sing.  It is sad she knows more names of songs than I do.  Taylor Swift and Kelly Clarkson are her favorites.  She has a little CD player that came with a microphone and it plays Disney princess songs.  She likes to carry that CD player all over the house and sing to those songs when Taylor Swift isn't on.
