Typical Tuesday

The girls took ballet classes this summer. Although the classes are over, some mornings they wake up in the mood to dance.

They have some great moves.

Lucy loves the Cat in the Hat on PBS. Maggie and Libby love to cuddle.

Maggie loves having her new room. Her favorite part is her flower night light.

Splitsville

The girls decided they would like seperate rooms this week. So I spent the morning moving furniture, vacuuming and dividing books and toys. Lucy likes to read and have quiet time before bed. She also likes to sleep in a little later. Maggie likes to run around crazy until she falls asleep, and then is up with the sun wanting to run some more. The girls were really excited about it. Jon and I are too if it means a more peaceful bedtime/morning.

It's Finally Here

After years of searching for a new car Jon's new car arrived Monday. We traded the Probe in on a 2012 Ford Escape Hybrid.

Beautiful Bikealicous Day

I have had the urge to go for a bike ride for the past couple of weeks and this weekend was beautiful. Yesterday Jon pulled the girls in the trailer and I rode solo for a short ride to the park. It just wasn't enough to get it out of my system. So today I hooked the trailer up to my bike and went 7.6 miles with Maggie. She fell asleep on me so I brought her home and got Lucy. We went 6.8 mile. I still want more. We will have to go out again next weekend.

Lucy loves to pick Dandelions.

Maggie loves to help Daddy mow.

Outstanding Poster

I saw a version of this poster at our Park District builing today and thought it was AWESOME enough to come home and find it on the internet. Sometimes I need to remember nice words can get me more than always shouting, "NO!"
