Scott was home again all day as he is still sitting alert for work. It's nice having him around, but it feels like the weekend. I bought the girls a few books the other day at a book fair at Abby's school and ended up reading just about everyone of them to the girls this morning. When we finished 5 or 6 of them, Abby asked if I would read them all over again. I love that she is really getting into reading. We took the girls outside to play this afternoon. It was chilly, but still nice enough to play for awhile. The girls had a blast playing softball, soccer, jump rope, ball, bikes & racing. I made hot chocolate for everyone to warm up outside. I remember Abby having hot chocolate for the first time last fall and she said she loved it so much, but only ate the whipped topping off in the beginning. Now, she is actually drinking the hot chocolate. She is growing up so fast. Mckenzie took a few drinks, but most of it landed on her jacket instead of in her mouth. I think the cup was too big for her to drink from. She must have gotten very tuckered out from playing because she fell asleep on the couch. One minute she was asking for some Fruit Loops and the next minute she was fast asleep, drool and all. We went out for dinner and almost as soon as we sat down, Abby started her "I'm tired" routine and begged to go home. We managed to make it through the meal without too much drama. Got the girls home and bathed and off to bed. Abby doesn't want to sleep now. I hope she falls asleep soon or it will be tough to get her going for school tomorrow.

What better place than between your toes to store plates! Silly Mckenzie!
