What a Girl Wants in A Husband!

On the way to dance class on Monday, Tia said to me, "Mom when I grow up I want my husband to be responsible, caring towards other people, give hugs and cleans!" Can you blame the girl? I thought to myself that sounds just like her Daddy and it sounds like great traits to look for 25 years from now!

Time Out Times 2!

At 2 years and 11 months Sydney had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day! At daycare, Sydney bit one of her friends, which landed herself in time out. Later that evening, after taking a toy of Tia's, she was asked to hand Tia back her toy. Instead, she decided to throw it at Tia. This hurt Tia due to the heavy metal keychain it had on it. Yes, once again, she landed herself in time out. Sydney proceeded to scream her very high pitched scream on the stairs while in time out. Ron did not want to listen to it, so he picked her up and had her sit in the hallway upstairs. Sydney was not a happy camper to say the least.
As she was upstairs, she proceeded to get quiet. I ventured up the stairs to see what she was doing, only to find her in the litter box giving it a taste. She learned the hard way that kitty litter does not taste good! I just shook my head and asked her if it tasted good, and of course she said, "NO!"
With 3 just around the corner I can only hope that we are leaving the terrible two's behind and have not only just begun them! My Mom said that I did not go through the terrible two's but it was the terrible three's that I explored! I am keeping my fingers crossed!

These Are The Moments

Nobody ever said it was going to be easy. Motherhood is something you cannot study to become great at, you just take things day by day and focus on the good versus the challenging. Tia and Sydney are two very sweet girls who express some of the sweetest moments.
When I snuggle with Sydney at night, she often rubs my forehead. as I often do when I put her to sleep. Tia said to me tonight, "Mommy when I was in your tummy I wished that I had a great Mom like you". Also, the other night when Tia sensed that I was stressed out, as I went to tucking her into bed, she started to rub my shoulders and gave me a massage. These are the moments that I will treasure forever and hope that they always remember the beautiful girls they are from the inside out!

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

This is what our house looks like on a Lazy Sunday Afternoon!

Meanwhile, Mom is preparing dinners for the week and catching up on her shows on the DVR! Home Sweet Home!

Pumpkin Patch Exstravaganza

I really enjoyed the pumpkin patch today. This year both Tia and Sydney got to enjoy it. ( No stroller!) Sydney was so excited about the jump house and the pony rides! Tia loved that she got to bring her BFF Paige and they walked hand- in- hand the entire afternoon. There was a giant pillow that you could jump on and even a slide that was went partially underground! We had a blast and will continue to go until we get the roll of the eyes when it is mentioned! Even then maybe Ron and I will still go!

Heart Walk 2009

This was the first annual Bonds Bunch Heart Walk! We raised $250 and plan on increasing our contributions every year! The rain held off and we completed the 4 mile walk with about 1,000 other supporters. The hardest part was pushing the 100lbs in the stroller up the hill. After the walk was over with and we were getting the girls in the car, Tia said, " My legs hurt." All I could do was laugh!

We will continue to do everything we can to support Ron! We love ya!

Fashionista

Tia is the accessory queen. It is so fun to see her put outfits together and walk the runway! So help Ron and I when she is a teenager!
