Tired

Man, I feel wiped out. Maybe it's all the running around I do after 2 kids. Maybe it's all the stress in my life right now. Maybe it's because I stayed out until almost midnight last night with the ladies from my MOPS group. Who knows, maybe it's all 3, but I feel wiped out!

Kasey has started waving. It's so darn cute!!! She was waving in her own reflection in the wine fridge today. And tooth #6 has FINALLY broken through the gum. Of course that sucker took a LONG time to get here!

She has also hit a phase where she doesn't like to be fed off a spoon. She prefers to feed herself. So now we are trying to get creative with finger foods for her to eat. Currently her favorite is toast with a little butter. She could munch on that for an hour. We also have introduced her to fries, surprise surprise she loves those too. But we are struggling trying to find her soft things to eat that are nutritious that are finger foods. We tried some pasta the other day, and it didn't go well. So we ended up having to take that away.

Courtney got a dress up Cinderella dress for Christmas and has been in love with it since she got it. She wore it almost daily. Well, her friend across the street, Ava, who is about 6 months older than her, just discovered Princesses in the last week. Not that she didn't know about them before but all of a sudden she got "into" them. Ava came over to play on Friday and she wore Courtney's Cinderella dress the whole time and poor thing had a melt down when it was time to go home and she had to take it off. So Hubby and I decided we should probably get a second dress up dress of some sort. We went to Toys R Us on Saturday morning and what did we find? We found an Ariel (the Little Mermaid) wedding dress. Courtney was so excited she held it in the car between errands and the whole way home. And every chance she could wear it she did (we make her take it off for nap time and when she eats). And you know she has been very into "weddings" and "marriage" ever since Esten and Julie's wedding. So, she is so excited that she has her own wedding dress now! And it even came with a veil headband!

She kept pretending to marry me, and give me flowers etc. So, Saturday night I took her to Micheal's and let her pick out some fake flowers with some other decoration things. We brought it home and Hubby and I made up 2 bouquets for her. 2 because when she has a friend over to play 2 is always better than 1.

Let's see, what else has been going on? Well, my MOPS group started up again. We were on hiatus for the holidays. I am thankful for starting up again! It had been almost 2 months since we had our last Friday morning meeting. It's amazing how much more balanced and put together I feel after those! It's much better than any kind of therapy! We decided Friday morning that we all had a rough holiday season so we all needed some alcohol to make us feel better. So sitting there we decided we would meet up at a brewery the next night for some beers. We did and had a GREAT time! We LAUGHED and laughed! It was great!

We still have snow on the roads somewhat and large patches here and there although it has not snowed in a few weeks! It has just been so cold that stuff isn't melting! Hubby and I don't remember a time when we have had snow and ice stick around this long! I did read somewhere the other day that this is the coldest winter we have had since 1983 so far.

So, when we were out running errands the other day, we stopped at Hooters for lunch because we were at the mall. We put Kasey in their "highchair" and this is how she looked from the table:

Poor thing wasn't actually very high...

Well, I guess that's about all I have for now! Hope all of you are well!
