A little update...

I keep meaning to pop on & give an update, but life gets in the way!    First let me say that Tom has been gone a lot, so we do not have the October pictures uploaded.    Hopefully we can do that this week.

Earlier today I was doing something on the computer & Sasha ran into the kitchen to get her scissors.    I really didn't think much about it because she knows the rule:  "only cut paper" & lately she she has been cutting scrap paper that she has drawn on.    Well, a few minutes later she showed me the "bow" around one of her little cups.    Turns out she cut the hanger strings off her fairy costume & she also cut off the strings that tie it together.    I was pretty mad.    Granted, neither are important, but she clearly knew that she was not supposed to cut them.    She is definitely in a "do her own thing phase".     Needless to say, that the scissors were taken away & she is no longer allowed to have them on her own.

Tonight I took the girls to get haircuts.   They have such fine hair that I decided to go shorter.    I now have "cutters remorse".    The cuts are cute, but I think she went a little too short.     I will have to take some pics & post them later.      We then went out to eat & Sadie seemed possessed.   There was another mom with her two perfectly behaved little girls eating & at first I was glad, thinking all the girls could chat.    BUT...Sadie threw such a complete fit because she wanted to drink her chocolate milk out of a cup with no straw & no lid , just like Sasha; that, I wanted to pack up everything & eat in the car.   Some how I managed to make it through dinner, but not without adding a few grey hairs.    It was late & with the time change, she was pretty tired & she asked to go to bed shortly after getting home.    On the way up to bed she said "I miss Daddy"----so cute, so I forgave her---lol!   I then made the HUGE MISTAKE of letting Sasha watch the new Dora Mermaid movie (mainly because I needed to get Sadie to bed).   She was a perfect angel during the whole movie & then she also became possessed the minute it ended, making getting her dressed & putting her to bed a major feat!       Tired kids suck!

On to other things that have happened in the last few weeks...

• We went to the Boo Zoo on my Birthday.    It rained, but we had fun!


• We went to our friend Sophie's Birthday / Halloween party & the girls had a blast.    It rained that day too, but fun was had by all.


• We did Trick-or-Treating after the party.    Sasha asked to go home after three houses because it was just icky, cold & rainy.   I think Sadie would have kept going if we let her.

I am sure there is more, but I'm tired!
