Showing of schoolwork
Check out my new refrigerator decoration. Aren't they too cute? What a precious smile on Audrey!
Audrey's still not talking at preschool. However, Mrs. Grace said that Audrey's personality did start to shine during music time today. While Audrey doesn't want to talk at preschool, she has decided she'll sing (loudly) for them!
The next few pictures are just some shots of schoolwork that they've done. Sometimes I grab the camera before I start tossing it in the trash. Please don't think less of me b/c I'm throwing the majority of their work away. If we kept it all we would already be snowed under with schoolwork and it's only week 3! In both pictures, Julia's work is on the top row and Audrey's the bottom.
Until tomorrow... YES! I'll be posting 2 days in a row! ... Have a great midweek!
Oh! And by the way... When I started off this post with "hormonal pregnant lady" I of course meant "best, most fabulous sister-in law EVER!!!"

This & That Thursday
* Audrey is still not talking at preschool. She does talk a little more on Thursday's b/c I'm the teacher with her, but Monday through Wednesday she's quiet. Wait. Let me rephrase that. Monday through Wednesday DURING PRESCHOOL HOURS she's quiet.
* My head is hurting right now, but not enough for me to take anything for it. I don't like taking medication unless I'm really/seriously hurting. I prefer to say No to drugs!
* I'm heading to Walmart tomorrow with just a couple of coupons. There is so much wrong with that sentence. 1 - I hate Walmart. 2 - I hate shopping without coupons. However, I'm not impressed with the Publix deals this week so Walmart is a must. Usually I'd still run by Publix for just a few of the good deals, but the idea of dragging the girls into the store for 3 or 4 items is not an appealing one right now. As far as the lack of coupons, my must haves right now are produce and milk. There aren't too many coupons for those. I do plan on picking up a FREE bottle of Gain dish soap and some free razors - that will put a smile on my face! :)
* Audrey is walking around the living room right now pretending to throw up on people. Aren't you glad you know this?

A destroyed flower and puppy dog paws
I went to CVS this week to pick up some free stuff (i love couponing)! When I got home I noticed that the cashier had included 2 child safety ID kits in the bag. If you're unfamiliar with these, they are little fingerprint kits to keep on hand just in case the unthinkable happens... Now, I know that it would be pretty easy to get fingerprints of my kids from their toys/furniture around here, but I decided to go ahead and "book 'em". Julia said that I gave her "puppy dog paws".
Check out Audrey's fake smile and puppy dog paws!

This & That Thursday
* I'm annoyed this afternoon. The curriculum purchase I made for Children's Church isn't as complete as I wanted, and the music stuff was even more frustrating. I read, read, and reread the descriptions of these items, and then I had Matt read it and ok it. Yet we still erred! Hopefully, order #2 will go better.
* I'm also annoyed this afternoon b/c two little girls are refusing to play in a room that I'm not in. I can't wait until bedtime.
* I'm excited to catch up on GLEE episodes tonight!
* I've really enjoyed Jennifer (Fisher) Tachenko's blog posts this week. She's spending a week just writing some random things about herself. If you knew her from Jackson check it out!
* Matt and I will have a new nephew sometime around the New Year. His sister is expecting with a due date of January 10. We actually found this news out last week, but Amy and Jacob didn't make their Facebook Baby Boy announcements until recently. We're all excited to meet this little one!

Starting preschool
Thanks Matt for manning the camera this morning!
A photo as they get ready to head out the door...
Another photo before they head out the door...
Audrey's thinking "Come on, DADDY!"
Don't they look adorable in backpacks?
No answers necessary, I know they do!

It sure would be nice...
It sure would be nice for my kid not to "glare" at me whenever I try to take her picture... this is pre-haircut by the way.
It sure would be nice to not have to clean up Audrey's bathroom "accidents" daily!!! Thursday was the worst... that's all I'm saying.
It sure would be nice to be able to sleep-in EVER.
It sure would be nice to have a day where I could be by my lonesome.
It sure would be nice if kitchen "help" from children actually helped a mom spend LESS time in the kitchen. As it is, Julia was all too happy to pose with her jello/coolwhip pie. Yes, that's lime flavor. And, yes, she was able to do almost every step on her own - I only helped handle the boiling water.
It sure would be nice sell our house! Anyone looking to buy in Phenix City???!!!???
It sure would be nice to ask my girls for a pretty "smiley" picture without having to do a whole photo shoot. As it is - here's our session from tonight.
sad face...
sleepy face...
happy face again...
It sure would be nice to be able to get a cutie face picture of these 2 girls that I love. Half smiles, squinty eyes, and bug-eyes... Oh My!
I may not have gotten the exact photo I wanted, but I did manage to have a number of laughs with the models during our photo shoot. That sure was nice...

This & That Thursday (lots of pics)
* The following is a picture of a facial expression that Audrey learned sometime during the last 10 days that we were separated. She DID NOT make this whiny face previously! :) Today she's pulled it out on us pretty much everytime we've uttered the word "no".
* Last week, when Matt and I were out of town, his parents came to watch the girls. I changed the sheets on our king size bed so that his parents could sleep in our room. Well, Julia decided to tell her grandparents that she was "supposed to be sleeping in Mommy and Daddy's bed" by herself, and they went along with it! Meme and Pop slept in Julia's full size bed for the week, and Julia lounged about in the king!
* Julia and I spent time at church earlier this week working on a ministry project. We were packing up backpacks full of school supplies. Guess who LOVED being given the job of cutting price tags off the backpacks? Hint: It's someone who still giggles with glee when given a pair of scissors.
