Getting Caught Up Part I...

I just spent way too much time trying to download a million pictures to the blog only to have everything freeze on me so I will be doing this blog post in parts.  I don't have the patience to upload all the pictures again.

Part One will be dedicated to my girls...

Tonight we took pictures of all Cambri's favorite things so she can make a book of them tomorrow per her request.  I love when her little mind comes up with such creative ideas.  She gathered her toys and put on a little show for me.  Way Cute!
Of course Little Miss Sadie wanted in on the fun.  My girls spend 90% of their day in dress up clothes.  On a side note...The other day my girls got in a little argument over something silly.  They started pointing at each other while saying, "Bad Baby!" over and over again.  after a minute of this Sadie stopped and thought for a moment and then replied, "I not baby, I Sadie Bugie!"  She walked away with a big smile on her face. 
Dancing is something that happens daily in this house.  All it takes is a little music and this girl can't help herself.  Her favorite dance move involves making me spin in circles with her.  Unfortunately I am way too old for that kind of fun and get dizzy...sad!!! 
These pictures of Cambri make me smile.  They show her cute little personality so well.  Such passion!!!  Dance has been her favorite thing out of everything she has tried so far.  I think it is a perfect outlet for her creative/dramatic personality:)  She just got a new pair of tap shoes and has been showing of her skills on the kitchen floor.  She is my girly girl and I love it!
Cambri started her second year of preschool this year and so far is loving it.  She is going three times a week in the afternoon.  It is a nice break for both of us:)  Preschool has done amazing things for this girl.  She has come out of her shell so much.  She was more than ready to start school this year.  Especially since she got to pick out her new smurfette backpack.  This was something she knew she watned for months and she waited so patiently to get the right one.  Next year Cambri starts all day kindergarten.  It makes me a little nervous to send my baby off all day long.  It will be different knowing she is spending more time away from me than with me.   
Pictures like this make me wonder where time has gone.  How did my baby girl grow up so fast!!!  She piced out her outfit weeks ago and has been very anxious to wear it for the first time.  School shopping was fun wtih her this year because I let her pick out what she wanted as long as it was mommy approved.  She loved trying on the outfits and checking herself out in the dressing room mirror.  One day she and I are going to be great shopping buddies!

A few days ago we were at TJ Maxx looking for a birthday present.  As we were walking to the checkout line I saw a sweater I thought was cute so I stopped to look at it.  Cam must have liked it too because she said to me, "Mom! You should get it.  You have been wanting it for so long!"  Like I said, she is going to be an awesome shopping buddy.
Sadie wishes so badly it was her turn to go to school too.  She wants to be just like her big sister.  The other day when dropping Cambri off at school Sadie also wanted to wear her backpack.  We all walked up to the door where Sadie showed her backpack to everyone.  She was so proud of it and so excited to feel like a big girl.  When all the kids headed into the building she turned around and waved goodbye to me and started following the crowd.  The girl was giddy with excitement thinking it was her turn to go to school.  When I told her she had to stay with me her little heart was broken into a million peices.  I completely crushed her world.  The problem was remedied when we got home and I let her play with her sisters beloved toys:)  We will have to figure out something because she still has 2 more years until its her turn.  She still naps when Cam is at school, but we usually spend 20 minutes together doing puzzles or playing with blocks before she goes down.  It has been funt to have some one on one time with my little Sadie Bug. 
Yes it is true, I have two very cute little girls.  But let us be honest for a moment.  They are kids and they are not perfect.  Everyday has its challenges.  My girls fight like cats and dogs.  It drives me crazy!!!!!  Both my girls are as stubborn as they come and little miss Sadie is the most independent child ever to walk the earth.  Pretty sure she says, "I do it!" 5,000 times a day.  Cam only thinks in absolutes so she pouts about never being able to do anything fun even if the whole day was devoted to her.  They know how to drain the energy out of me by the days end and I often wonder if they still love me come bedtime.  As of late Sadie has made bedtime a struggle.  Her nap is making it hard for her to fall asleep at night.  She isn't quite ready to get rid of the nap so I have had to cut it shorter than she would like or she is up until midnight.  She still climbs out of her crib a million times, comes downstairs, does really cute things and then cries when I put her back in her bed.  Last night I finally shut her door so she at least couldn't get out of her room...lots of tears, lots of screaming.  She is still sleeping so it is yet to be decided if she still loves me.  

Despite the struggles I still love being mom.  Adding a third child to the mix scares me to death though.  As much as I don't want to be pregnant anymore, I am pretty content keeping baby brother in the belly for now.
