What's the little fun thing we did today? Propped open the doors to the back porch and ran in and out of the house. After Evelynn tossed all 6 balls over the railing (which earned her a 'stern' talking to, because I told her not to), we 'raced' (as much as a grown woman, a 3 year old, and a 20 month old can) from one side of the deck to the other. It's so nice outside, even if it's a bit chilly. Jade is so cute running around in a black, long sleeve shirt, panties, socks, and boots. I'll try to post a picture later. Evelynn still has her night gown on. The girls have 'fed' me with all their kitchen stuff. Jade thinks it's hilarious when I take the fake lettuce off the spoon, pretend to gobble it down, hide it behind my back, and ask her where it went. She giggles, then turns stern and demands that I give it back to her.
They were demanding that I turn on the TV. So, I did. But, instead of putting on something for them to watch, I turned on music. I put it on the Scottish Country Dancing station that I have on Pandora. We spent about 30 minutes 'dancing'. Part of the way through, Evelynn reverted to running in circles. A great way to expend some energy. Then, when they got bored of that, we started crawling around and pretending to be puppies. My kids are goofs. I love them beyond words!
Nolana took a good nap this morning. Usually she wakes up around 0730, takes about a 30 minute nap around 1030, then goes down for a nice, long nap at around 1300-1330. Instead, she didn't wake up until a little after 0800, then slept from 1000-1130. Last night she had a fever. We're all battling a cold. So I suppose she's resting in order to fight it off. Good for her. Now if only the other two would nap that nicely.
My mom said something to me along these lines this morning: "Nolana is at the age where she makes you think you want another one, because of how cute and adorable she is." Now, while she is super cute and at a great developmental stage, I'm at the point where I'd rather just enjoy my kids right where they are. I don't want to have to worry about another one just yet. A part of me wants to smack my Momma upside the head, because she's probably jinxed us. But, God is in control. I'll keep enjoying my kids, loving my husband,, and praying to The Lord.
I'm currently working on sewing myself a new shirt. It's slow going; I tend to be pulled towards other things. But, it has taken over the whole dinner table, so I better finish it soon!
Okay, that's enough of my ramblings. A full-bodied second post, have I made.
God bless!
