Cassidy is a

Kangaroo. She loves her bouncy seat and will no longer go into the stationary walker. SHe just wants to bounce. Even when she isn't in the bouncy seat her legs are constantly hopping!! If you stand her up she will try to hopp with you holding her. It is hilarious!!! Well funny, until you get tired of boucing and she still won't go to sleep. lol!! Oh well, I have no idea what she is going to do when she grows out of it...lol!

Constantly improving...NOT!!

The past few days have not been good for me personally. I just can't seem to get in a good mood and the slightest thing annoys me which when you have a 2 yr old and a six month old that won't nap...UGH is all I can say!!! I think that I am just going to try and survive the remainder of this year and make the most of next year. Oh and an update on my game is they have sent me these directions on what to do and I was worried that I would mess up my computer by doing it. Well today I decided to hell with it because I really want to fix it and alas, they tell me to do something that can't be done on my computer. They are telling me to look somewhere that doesn't exist. This is really about to make me cry, becasue I really just want to play my game and I don't think that that is to much to ask for.

So I decorated Thursday night...

and I am really glad that I did. Riley loves the lights and the penguin decorations that we have on it. I was looking at it tonight, thinking that all the balls hanging all pretty and shiny. I was thinking that they are like hopes and dreams just hanging there waiting to be picked. For every decoration there is a hope or dream that I have for my kids. A good memory, a good day. This sounded a lot better in my head, but I guess you get my drift. I don't know if I have made the best choices in my life and I have more choices to make here in the near future that may affect my kids. I can only pray that those hopes and dreams hanging there now come true in the future and that I can be the best mother I can be to my kids. That they grow up happy and healthy and that my choices don't hurt them in the long run. I love them more than anything in the world and I can't imagine life without them. I just know that "Constantly Improving" is what I need to be doing more than ever right now.

On a brighter note....

my baby is 6 months old. Has been for two days now. She had her 6 month checkup today and she is doing well. She is 20.6 ibs, which percentage wise is off the charts...lol. She is 27.5 inches tall which is in the 97%. She is very healthy. I can't believe that she is already 6 months old. It has passed by so very fast. Even faster when you consider that she has gone through a years worth of clothes in half the time. She is wearing 12-18 month clothes already. Needless to say she will be dwarfing her brother in no time if she keeps growing this way. Oh and I am starting her on solids today. She has had a bite or two before todays but really very little. Yay!!!! Well have to go feed the muchkins!!!

So it's December...

and Christmas is almost here. I am sitting here thinking how lucky I am to have my kids, my husband and my mom around me this time of year, but also missing my grandparents so much it is papable. We always did Christmas at their house and it was always so special. There were traditions that just can't be done now that they are gone. I know that they wouldn't want me to be upset that they are gone when I had so many years with both of them but I can't seem to help myself. I haven't yet decorated but will have it done by Sunday if it kills me. Maybe once I have it will help. I want to make Christmas as special for my kids as it was made for me. I want them to have that warm feeling no matter how bad the rest of the year may have gone. You should always for a few days have that peace, that feeling of love. I hope that all of you have a great Christmas and that you have that peace.
