A better day

Things have been a little nutty around here lately.

I keep injuring myself and girls like to take advantage of my weak moments.

I've finally had a few moments where all 3 of them are belting out their loudest screams,

all at the same time.

It's crazy.

But short-lived.

I keep trying to remind myself that all stages come and go so quickly.

Enjoy the happy parts and learn from the hard, and keep moving forward.

My girls were so cute this morning.

Layla got a few new clothing items and is SO excited to show off her outfit at preschool.

Gwen is equally excited about "bin shopping" as we call it.

Layla's old clothes are magically new again!

Okay, so this pose wasn't so successful.

Maggie is doing great!

She's finally catching onto the rhythm of our family life

and screams so much less.

Thanks baby.

Gwen is silly.

She has been expressing some "terrible two" like behavior recently

and I really hope it passes soon.

Yelling for a cracker, then throwing it at my face the next minute because it's "Uckkky!" is confusing.

She's extremely sweet otherwise.

Layla is my helper... with an attitude.

She likes her way.

According to Layla, her way is MUCH better than my way.

And so we disagree at times.

But we're learning to meet in the middle with most things.

She loves preschool.

And her new favorite activity is to draw pictures and make up stories to go along with the characters.

It's my favorite.

This is Maggie's happy face.

No more pictures please Mom.

As much as this stage of life drives me bonkers..

I love it so very much.
