Bye bye warm weather.....

Despite the wind yesterday, it was really pretty out. I'm almost sorry I didn't take advantage of it. I enjoy the outdoors, but there's really gotta be a reason to be out there ya know?? So, I let yesterday slide by and did a few things inside instead.

Today, the temp is 41 (feels like 32) and I can surely say that I will NOT be outdoors doing anything at all. Unless of course DH and I do make a trip to get him a booster deal to help him quit smoking. He was having cravings last night, and I really hope that this booster helps him with that. Guess we'll see how it goes.


Kids are all up and ready for church,... just waiting for the Grandparents to arrive and pick them up. Morning has actually moved along smoothly. I am sometimes so amazed and pleased with these kids that it just melts my heart. Even over silly stuff. Sydney and Jess are 3yrs apart. When we buy things for them, it's usually the same thing, different colors.... Sydney likes to think she's as big/old as Jessica is. Now that they're both older, they do have a lot of the same likes/dislikes though.

Jessica came to me complaining that she couldn't find her belt. Both girls have several, but Jess is a tad bigger than Sydney so they can't share them. Jess was frustrated over this, the room is a mess,.... I was NOT going to attempt to go in there and look. I get mega frustrated and start throwing shit. I explained to her that if she would put them where they belong, this wouldn't happen. I also explained that I don't wear her belts, so I have no idea where they might be.

Sydney was fumbling getting her shoes on, I sent her down the hall to help Jess look, since Jess helps Sydney so much to find things. I was in the kitchen when I saw Sydney come out of the bathroom, saying "I'm sorry!! I'm wearing yours!! mine was in the bathroom!!" Now, that's the silly part.... but that's what touched my heart. She apologized to her sister for accidentally putting on her belt :o) *sigh* still makes me feel all mushy inside.

I want nothing more for these kids than to be extra close. I always wanted a sister growing up, and while I have a cousin that is about as close as I will ever get to one, it's still not the same, as we didn't grow up in the same house. Yeah, they both fight often, and usually over who gets to control the tv or over toys,.... they're bored when the other isn't around, especially Sydney. I just would like for them to be like best friends when they're in their 20's and beyond.
