Well, so much for our awesome play-outside-weather. Today it snowed most of the day. Some kid even made a snowman. I'm sure it won't last too long, but it's still a little depressing. I did however get some projects done that really needed my attn, so that was good. Hopefully it'll clear up in the next couple days.
Other news...well, we come closer and closer to a walking toddler. Mason will walk further between people and objects. He can re-balance himself and turn to change directions. I think that truly, he could walk if he wanted, but really just wants to keep up with Brooklyn. It will definitely be impossible to keep up with him come real warm weather. Just yesterday while playing outside we were up and down the playground equipment half a dozen times. He loved every minute. So much for my relaxing sits on the grass watching kids play...
Brooklyn, too, is changing. She loves it when Mason walks to her. Also, she sees me head for the kitchen and immediately wants to "help". She is fascinated with "Enchanted" and I swear that we've watched it a million times. Out of the blue she'll ask, "Mom, why does Prince Edward find his one true love, too?" uhh...well, everyone has a true love, dear. Or, something to that effect. Sometimes, I just have to say, "I don't know, honey" just so she'll think of something else to talk aobut. Crazy kid. She LOVES puzzles! Her grandma got her a bigger puzzle (100 pieces) than she was used to when we were in UT last and she loves it! I got her a small one the other day and she just whipped it right up. No more 24 piece puzzles for her! It's nuts how she'll just sit there, move pieces around and figure out where they go. I guess she does have a little Holmes in her, eh grandma?
As for me, it's just the same old, same old. Sometimes I get so frustrated with myself, though. I get easily frustrated some days and then I'm more upset with myself for getting upset. How dumb, huh? It's so discouraging on those days when you can't explain it but you just feel blah. Luckily, these are few and far between for me, and I have this incredible husband who doesn't complain when I ask him to ignore his homework for another hour to help me get the kids in bed. Not that I can't do it myself, just that I don't want to do it :S. Nothing out of the ordinary. Just worthless complaining :). I hope everyone else is having real spring weather and soon I'll have to find some new cute pictures or something so this blog is a little more interesting... Happy Spring!

Although the winter weather there is much worse than it is here, I have the winter blues as well! I can't wait to get outside! The beginning of the week was beautiful here.. but now we are supposed to have rain Fri-Tues! Fun, fun!!! I have those days too, where I feel blah and don't want to do much.... I blame it on exhaustion!! Have a happy weekend!
I'm with you on the weather blaws, I need spring. I can't believe how good Mason is getting at walking and brooklyn is great at puzzles, 100 pieces! that is great!
So, I am assuming you own Enchanted? Could I maybe borrow it to watch sometime...woudl Brooklyn mind? I am also bummed about the snow we got. At least today it is sunny, so it should melt away, right?!
I totally know the feeling of getting upset at yourself when you get upset! That happens to me all the time, so I'm glad I'm not the only one.
It's cool that Brooklyn likes that movie so much! I too will find myself telling my kids that "I don't know", because I've answered the same question a million times.
Have a good day.
I'm totally with ya on that! Dave's so great - he listens to me complain about myself and tells me I'm too hard on myself. I think when it's finally warm (for good) my attitude will change. Something about being stuck inside for 5-6 months just wears on ya!
I think we are all ready for real spring weather. I feel a little blah lately myself. I am sure glad for are little present party, I feel so lucky I got your cards. I LOVE them. Really I can't stop looking at them.
I know, I hear you on the BLAH feeling... frustrated sometimes, and then frustrated at feeling frustrated. But you're great, and all these pictures of your kiddies are so fun.
