I realized it's been awhile since I posted anything. Life has been a little crazy.
So, I'm sure not surprisingly, I wasn't looking forward to Valentine's Day this year, but it actually turned out really great. Friday night I had my dad's car and I knew that I needed to get valentines for LC to take to daycare on Monday, so we went to the store, and they had some good sales, so I got new valentines shirts for the girls, they looked way cute if I do say so myself. :) Then as we were getting ready to go check out, we walked by one of the card displays that they put in the middle of the isle and there was a card with Cinderella on and LC pulled it out and sings the enitre song "A Dream is A Wish Your Heart Makes" right there in the store to Cinderella. It was adorable. Then we get home and in front of our door there was a package. It was from the Friel aunts, uncles, and cousins with a letter in there from Grandma and Grandpa Friel as well. To any of you that read this, Thanks!! It was really sweet and the girls loved it. You did get sizes right on the clothes and I did get some pictures taken and I'll try to get them posted so you can see. And since there were clothes, LC had to immediatly try them on. (Anytime there are new clothes we have to try them on, she is all girl) Then Sunday since we had a box of 32 valentines for LC's daycare class of 6, I decided to take some for her to give to her nursery class too. I had her give them out herself and I told her to say Happy Valentines Day and she went up to everyone and just said Happy Valentines, it was cute. Then the girls had their daycare party on Monday and they had the babies "make" little frames and flower arrangements (fake) to give to their moms. And then Colista's class had a single flower (fake) and made "leaves" with two of her handprints glued together. It was really cute. However LC has decided that they are all her flowers and will get them down anytime she gets her eyes on them, and get really mad at me if I don't let her have them. So while not what traditionally comes to mind as a good Valentines Day, this year was great and I feel so blessed to have two such amazing girls in my life and that I get the opportunity to be their mom.
On a not so happy note, I took the girls back in for their follow up for their ear infections again and LCs ears still looked pretty bad, so we get to go see the specialist. We'll see if she wants to do tubes or what direction we're going, only time will tell. Lilly's ears looked clear when we went in except one of her ears had a lot of fluid that the doctor was worried would easily turn into an infection. Well last Wednesday (it was Monday we went to the doctor) I got a call from the daycare that she was acting like she had an ear infection, so she's on another medication and will have a follow up with the regular doctor and hopefully at least she will be done with all of this. I ready to be done with ear infections, I've decided we've had more than our fair share at our house and it's someone else's turn, but I guess life doesn't work like that, so we'll just keep working on getting the girls better.
One of the reasons life has been so busy lately is I took on being the teacher for a rs meeting that is going to be this week for quiet books and I wanted to get one all made so I knew what I was doing before I tried to teach someone else. I didn't realize how difficult crafts can be with little helpers. It's been interesting. I've adapted trying to do as much as I can after the girls go to bed because it's really so much easier. Well, I'm not quite there, but close finally, so hopefully I will at least be mostly finished on Thursday when the meeting is. So wish me luck on that one we'll see how it goes.
