When I grow up I will be a....

This afternoon the girls were playing and I heard them talking about what they want to be when they grow up. EC said she wanted to be a teacher. Ella said said she wanted to be Snow White. Later she said I will be Ariel. EC told her that she could not be the princesses because they are not real. So, very frustrated she said I just want to be breakable when I grow up. I love listening to the two of them play and talk.

Thankful Thursday

I am so thankful for my husband. He is such an amazing person. This week I have been sick and he has really done so much to help out. He has driven carpool, worked the book fair at EC's school, and got girls ready and took them to church last night. I appreciate his willingness so much. Each week he does so many things behind the scenes at church that nobody sees, and if it what not for him our preschool ministry what not be the same. Dave also keeps the girls and takes up my slack at home while I do thing at church. It is truly our ministry together. The girls and I love him so much!!!!

Funny Story!!!

Yesterday was a rough morning at our house. EC was not really wanting to go to school and to make matters worse my dad stops by to see the girls before school and tells them he is going to lake, Well, the bottom fell out. They both wanted to go with him. They both cried all the way to school and Ella never cries about school. My mom called me around 8:30 to tell me EC was better, but she told her teacher it was all Doe's fault. Later in the day her class was having a lesson on Setting of a story. They had to draw a picture to show a setting using a football player , a chef, and a teacher. Well, her setting with the teacher showed an apple with seven holes in it and Doe's name on it. In her class that is their discipline program is an apple and if you act up the teacher puts a hole in it. Well, the most they do is 4, so she was really mad at her Doe yesterday. Today she is sick with a stomach bug. We hope she feels better soon.

It takes a village

The saying it takes a village to raise a child is true. I am so thankful for the people in my life that help with my girls. My parents are such great support for us. They are always willing to drop everything when we need them. They both work full time jobs but they always make time for my girls. This week they both took off work to attend grandparents day at Ella's school. I think about my friends Trina and Kristen. They are always willing to help out and we swap out watching each other kids. My dear friend Brooke always makes time to play and love on my girls even when she is swamped at work. Our new neighbors and friend Terry and Karen love our girls so much they always call to check on them when they know something is going on and let the girls ride home from church with them. Even though Adam and Abbey are 2 hours away they are a huge part of the girls lives and when we are together we all help each other out and I know if I need them they are just a phone call away. My girls are friends with brother and sister named Landon and Reagan and their Grandparents Mimi and Papa have become a big part of our lives. They are also willing to watch the girls when I need help. Ella wants to go home with them everyday from school. I am so thankful for my village.
