So we had a house showing Friday at 8 pm. The girls go to bed at 7 so we decided to head to grandma and grandpa Becker's house. It was so much fun! Aimee came over with Reagan and we made chicken and dumplings, YUM! Then we played with Reagan until bed time and had a slumber party. The electricity went out that night for a couple of hours and it was cold so the girls all cuddled in close together. They were so sweet in a big lump-o-love :)!
In the morning we ate cinnamon bread and played with the doll house. Cecelia took a sled ride with grandpa all over the place. For lunch grandma and grandpa treated us to Steak and Shake. Everyone took long naps and I even read a book. I LOVE getting to spend time with the girls and can't wait until Bob doesn't have to work so hard and can have fun with us too! So far he has gotten to be lazy with us today.

BUSY Snow Days
Thursday and Friday were snow days and boy was it COLD! So cold in fact the bug wouldn't start. No problem, we have a truck right...WRONG! The truck had a flat and got stuck in the middle of the street in the snow. At least I didn't have to work so Bob took my car and I had the truck towed. We got to sled with the Bilibos while we waited for the tow truck.
After the eventful morning the girls and I went to MSB to visit Aunt Linda. They have residential students so she doesn't get snow days :(. It was a long, cold walk and we felt like we were in a blizzard because the wind was blowing dry snow everywhere. Cecelia and Lydia LOVED it. Sylvia will be my warm weather child for now. Her tears even froze on her face, poor baby. We drove Linda's car back the 6 blocks home! The afternoon was spent cuddling and playing and of course we had to have snow cones!
Friday the girls went to school so I could go get the truck. It is amazing how complicated plans can get when trying to figure out the car seat situation. We did figure out that if Bob dropped the girls off and Linda took me to get the truck I could pick them up at school. Whew, who knew snow days could be so busy!

Sleepless in St. Louis
So this week was the first week back after a long Christmas Break. We were all ready to have a little space, but with it comes another kind of chaos. Sunday I was afraid we wouldn't get up on time Monday so I couldn't sleep. We did get up and were even EARLY! Monday was a busy day with school then dance class. We always get back after bedtime on Mondays.
I couldn't sleep Monday in anticipation of a new student that was starting on Tuesday. Tuesday was much better than I ever thought it would be knowing the student's past so I celebrated by looking at houses and found some I loved!!! Unfortunately, I couldn't stop thinking about selling our house, moving, making schooling decisions, etc, so you guessed it.... another sleepless night.
Now it is Wednesday and there is snow. No call before bed so of course I can't sleep. Will the be a snow day or not? Will I need to leave early to make it?
Are you seeing a pattern here? I sure do. I worry too much, then can't sleep and everything always turns out FINE! I know it will be fine too deep down, so here is to letting go and sleeping. It isn't even 10 yet so I think I will try it! Nighty-Night!

2010
Well it is 2010 and I have sworn up and down I will blog. Here is to a new Year and hopefully a new hobby. I am going to try to start with some Smilebox albums I have made (they are pics from 2009) and add on from there. We'll see if I get any followers!

Winter Dance Recital
Lydia and Cecelia had their first performance at St. Peter's Academy of Dance tonight. They were darling up there dancing to Christmas songs. I will try to upload pics and video soon.
OK, new year's resolution maybe?
So I started in September and promptly forgot how to even log in. I now have it figured out and I WILL BLOG IN 2010!!!! Motivation is a new computer that actually works, the fact that blurb.com can slurp up my blog into a book next year, and the fact that I have no memory so I need to write it down or I will remember nothing when I am old.
