I know I have not posted in a week or two. I suppose I could use the excuse I was busy. Certain days and times yes I was busy but mostly I was just to lazy to type. Please do not take it personal I barely updated my facebook status and I did not reply to any emails either. I have just been stuck to my couch flipping through stations. Of course that was in between my usual daily activities with the children. Cheer ended for one daughter but is still going on for my oldest one. She has another competition this Saturday. Then we are done til next year. I think I will start saving the money now for it to. Cheer was way more costly than I anticipated. But well worth seeing my daughters smile when they received their cheer medals at the competition two weeks ago.

My baby turned one on Halloween. We did a costume party with all of her friends. Ok she doesn't really have friends but she has a lot of siblings and cousins. The party was great and she loved all of her gifts even the clothes. She taste tested everything she opened. Oh how I can not wait until she grows out of the stage of putting everything in her mouth. Even at one she has such a personality about her. Not to mention she sucks everything in like a sponge. It is like having my own little parrot. She watches our every move and then mimics it the best that she can. I worked a lot when my other kids were this age. So I have not been able to determine yet if she is just a baby genius or if this is just normal. I am leaning towards genius.

With one daughter moving into toddler years my eight year old is quickly moving into her teenage years. Yesterday she came home from school declaring that she needs makeup and hair stuff. Stuff meaning mousse and hairspray. What do I say to that. On one hand I want to get it for her and on the other I do not want her to grow up to fast. Not to mention I am scared of what she may look like when she walks out of the bathroom in the morning. Makeup just is not her strong point. Maybe we will start off with some lip shimmer. I think I can handle a little shimmer. The next problem that all of this poses is my six year old daughter. All she ever wants it to be just like her sister. There is no explaining to her that there is two years between them and somethings she will just have to wait to do. I do not foresee this getting any easier as the years go on either. These girls will truly be the ones to test my patients that's for sure.
