Goals.....

For the most part I'm a goal-oriented person. I like to have a to-do list for the day and a goal list to check off. In the past my goals have been pretty big...run a half-marathon, run a full marathon, successfully organize a 1,000+ person luncheon when I was working....things like that.

I'm still goal-oriented now, but as my life has changed with kids, sadly some of my goals have changed, too. I still have ambitions of running long distance races, however those goals are harder to reach now given the kids. I am proud to say, though, that one goal I reached recently was to catch up to and surpass Ross on Candy Crush. And now I am happy to report that that goal has now been checked off my list!!!!

Trash

The picture below is the inside of our trash can. If you look closely, you will see a flowered piece of material on the top of the picture (or if you turn the picture 90 degrees to the left, the flowered piece of material is on the left side of the trash can). The flowered piece of material is actually one of Molly's baby doll's dresses. Currently, Molly is infatuated with throwing things away in our trash can. She's thrown away this and other baby doll outfits, the girl's play dishcloths for their kitchen, washcloths we use to clean the girls up after eating, toys, and other miscellaneous items. Sometimes it's kind of frustrating because we might have to fish something our amidst real trash, but it is quite funny seeing the things she puts in the trash can. We've watched her do it, too. She just walks over to the trash can, opens the lid, puts whatever she has in, and walks away. What a stinker she is!

This is new to us as Lucy didn't do anything like this at all. Thankfully, though, our trash can has a lock on it and we are not putting that lock to good use!

Water The Molly, Make The Molly Grow

When Lucy would take a bath as a baby I'd use the watering can to pour the water on her and say, "Water the Lucy, make the Lucy grow." I've done that off and on to her and now do that to Molly. Lucy has picked up on that and has started doing the same to Molly. She even sings, "Water the Molly, make the Molly grow." Molly loves it. :)

The Fair

We went to the fair last week and had a great time! We looked at the animals, played games, and walked around. It was a pretty nice night and a really fun time. I look forward to going again next year.

Waffle Wednesday!

Today is Wednesday which means we had waffles and scrambled eggs for lunch - Waffle Wednesday! For probably a year now, we've been having waffles and scrambled eggs for lunch on Wednesdays. I don't know why I started doing this, but it's been the best thing. Both girls love to eat waffles and scrambled eggs and it's such a quick, easy meal to fix. Woohoo for Waffle Wednesday!
