Today has been a long day. Daddy had a meeting last night and class tonight so tonight has dragged on a little. We kept busy though making Halloween cupcakes for Dad's office. We also got to watch The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. It was ok. Not as cool as I remember. But the girls liked it. Mali is very much into eating her Halloween candy that she got early from Grandma. She asked me millions of times tonight if she could have more candy. When I told her no, she said, "I have to wait a little bit?" (this is something I say to her a lot too!!) Also, while we were eating dinner tonight, Mali happened to get a plate that had a couple of dings in it. She pointed at them and asked what they were. I told her that her plate had a couple of chips in it. She gave me this grateful look and said, "Can I eat them?" (she is obsessed with potato chips!)
We went to "grandma's park" today after lunch and Keely was swinging on the swings. She must have had a really great time because she said, "This is the best time of my LIFE!" She is so funny. She has become very sensitive lately. Bursting into tears when she knows she has hurt someones feelings.
Ok, I've had about enough for tonight. I love you girls!
Love,
Mom

Well, another day has passed and you are both sleeping like little angels at the moment! It was another fun day...We got to watch Pooh's Heffelump Halloween Movie this morning on TV and that was fun! We also dressed up in our Halloween costumes and went to Grandma's house to see her because she will not be in town for Halloween this year. Mali was a cat and Keely was Jojo, the clown. Mali gets into full character of whoever she is. She "mewoed" all the way to grandma's and was a perfect cat! Keely was a perfect clown as well. SO CUTE!
Last night, I went for a walk with Mali. She loves to pretend that she is a different character all day. On our walk, she was being Diego. Her "best buddy." I was getting worried that she really thought she was Diego for awhile as she is SO into the character. Stopping every 10 feet or so to let the "caimens" walk by. So, I finally asked her if she really thought she was Diego, or if she was just pretending. She looked at me like I was crazy and said, "Mom, I'm just pretending" Then went on to say, "You can be Dora, but you can just pretend" She cracks me up!
I love you girls. You are the highlight of my day, every day!
Love always,
Mom

Well, this is the first time that I am journaling about my children. I have the two most wonderful daughters in the world. God has truly blessed our family with their lives. I feel especially honored to be chosen as their mother. I hope that in their lives, they will know how much they mean to me and how much I love them and that I would do absolutely ANYTHING for them. They have filled my life with so many memories. I should have started writing them down when they were born, but I didn't and now all I have to go on is my memory! So, I am going to try and do this every day and see how it goes...
Most recently, my mom and dad took the girls for a "grandma and grandpa day" Keely and Mali love these times so much. This time, Grandma and Grandpa took them to the pool at the YMCA. Both girls love to swim so this was a good choice. When they returned home and were telling me about all the fun they had. I asked if Grandpa was a good swimmer. They said yes, but Mali said, "But Grandma wasn't a really great swimmer!" Just flat out. Grandma needs some practice at swimming! (Mali is 2, Keely is 4)
Grandma called us the following day to tell the girls that the moon was out. Mali ran to the window and reported. "Yup! The moon is empty!!" (meaning full!)
Mali loves her "best buddy" Diego. She watches him on TV and says to Dad, "Go away Daddy!" Hopefully she will not do this later in life!!
Keely is growing and growing. She goes to Sunday school and takes swimming lessons. She is such a fast learner and loves, LOVES to cook and help mom bake. I wish I had a penny for every funny moment she has given me. She is becoming quite the lady and I can't wait to see what she will be like as a youth, and teenager and adult! Although I'm not quite ready for her to grow up THAT fast! She was just in my cousin Lanae's wedding a few weekends ago. She did a wonderful job as flowergirl. She threw leaves down the aisle for the bride. She took her sweet time coming down so everyone could see her. And as she got to the front, where I was standing, she looked at me and asked, "Now, who is going to pick all those up?" This is something she NEVER hears at home! She was quite a trooper all day long through photos and everything.
They are so good, sometimes I have to pinch myself... I love you girls with all my heart! Keep smiling and the world will smile with you!
Love,
Mom
