Just a little update...

Payton is doing better, but we have our moments. Madi is taking everything like a pro. She is so amazing. She really keeps me on track. She is getting herself ready in the mornings and she even brushes her teeth without me asking. She will bring me her toothbrush and say "your turn to finish my teeth." I can't complain. She is coming home from school with new skills. She loves to rhyme and identify the first sound in words. Her most creative rhyme was Danita-Quesadilla. I laughed so hard. Last Saturday I was busy painting, so the dinner dishes did not make it into the dishwasher, then breakfast, and lunch stacked up. By dinner time on Sunday, the sink was full. Madi came up to me and said, "mom you really need to do those dishes. The sink is full." Oh that little bugger. When can she do the dishes? I wanted just a little break from the dishes, but I guess Madi thought other wise. (also shows how often my sink is full of dishes, hardly ever).

One morning this week I thought the girls looked so cute, so I took this picture. It is random, but I thought it was cute.
Last Saturday Madi wanted to do something fun. I suggested we paint the bathroom. She looked at me and said, "but daddy doesn't let me paint the walls." I told her we wouldn't tell daddy. She took a quick nap and then we set to work painting. My grout (sp? you know the gritty stuff that holds the tiles in place) now has a lot of paint in it. Any ideas how to get the paint off?
Payton loved painting the bathroom. She was really good about giving Madi a turn to paint.

Our new blue bathroom!

Madi had a hard day today. She went to the dentist and got a crown and a cavity filled. She is telling everyone that she got a new silver tooth today. Hopefully she will go back easily for more crowns in the next few weeks.
I was on the phone and I turned around and Madi and Payton had gotten a hold of some sample lipstick. I asked her to pucker her lips for me. I guess we need to learn how to put lipstick on better, it was all around their lips :)
I wanted to end with this picture of Payton because I thought the red hair and blue eyes just shined in this picture. Not to mention the lipstick all over her lips.

I think I have figured out how to balance my girls life. The girls have to go to bed at 8, no later. I also think that I need to spend more time with them at home playing games or watching a movie curled up on the couch. Playing at the park or shopping with them is not spending time with them. Even though I love to be on the move.

Well, sorry this post was very random. I guess that is how I feel right now.
