Taxes - dun-dun-dun!

So I just wanted to say that I am so grateful to not be scrambling last minute to get the taxes done. AND that we're not at the point where we dread tax time - and payments to the IRS! I'm just saying!

The other day Haddon seemed to have grown overnight, so I told him that this was a direct order from his Mom - Stop growing, right now! His response "I can't control these things Mom - God made me this way!"

So I completely spaced taking Ellie to her dance lesson this morning. When I realized it over dinner tonight, I felt so bad and apologized to Ellie. She looked at me without any emotion and said "You need to calendar these things."

Sydney has become a little copycat - but the things she repeats sound so much cuter than the original. We were swimming with some friends Saturday night, and I was holding Syd in the pool. We had a toy diving rocket. It was really heavy, so I tossed it, thinking it would sink, but instead it shot across the surface and hit my friend in the back. Of course I said "I'm so sorry!" A little while later, Syd found the toy and picked it up and threw it and then said "Awm show sarrrreeeeee!!" with a big grin on her face. It became her favorite thing to do the rest of the night.

After I put the kids to bed tonight, I was holding Paige while lounging on the couch. I was holding her upright and talking to her while she smiled at me. I had just baby talked (I can't help myself) how adorable she was, when she broke out in a huge grin, and then puked all over herself. The second she finished, she grinned at me again, and let out a little laugh. Apparently she amused herself.

(I just thought I'd make you really miss the kids Mom!) Love ya!
