Week 25

Daughters. I love love love having my girls back. I love having daughters. I'm sure I would be able to figure it out, but I don't know what I would do with little boys. I am better equipped to help dress dolls, do pony tails, paint toe nails, read lovely stories and pick out clothes at the store. I kind of get it when they are emotional. But sometimes I'm emotional at the same time and that can be tricky. Yesterday Megan and I went to the mall together while Sam was swimming at a friends house. We had a great time getting me some shoes, picking out shower gel and soaps and candles at the great sale at Bath and Body Works and having lunch at Paradise Bakery. Sammy has been busy writing music for the "concert" her and her friend are going to be putting on today. They love to sing and dance and perform in front of others. I was waaaay too shy as a kid to ever do something like that!
I can't express how happy I am to have them home. Last night I was doing two loads of dishes, sweeping up crackers, cereal, sugar, and other snacks, mopping up countless Popsicles off the floor and it just made me smile. I've learned that having a clean and quiet house is nice for a couple of days, but it is highly overrated :)
