Kayla will be turning 2 in August and she is already starting her terrible two’s. Her temper tantrums are far worse than when Kristin was her age. In fact, I don’t think Kristin ever went through a ‘terrible 2’ phase. When we put Kayla in the ‘corner’ for misbehaving, she puts up a fight like a wild animal and kicks and swings her arms, then arches her back so we can’t put her down. She even has this evil stare thing going on, it’s hilarious.

In the end though, how can you be upset with a face like this?

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe

That's what it feel's like living in this apartment. Only 3 more months to go, and believe me, I'm counting the days.

Not yours

ok. I admit it. I 'really' want the iphone. I've been wanting one since the first generation came out. The only reason that kept me from getting the original was the Edge network, and now the 3G is supposed to be twice as fast.

I woke up at 6:30, expecting to be able to walk right in to the AT&T store when they opened and buy one on the spot. I drove by the store, catching a glimpse of the people waiting in line. Hmmm, not bad. The line doesn't look too bad, only about 20 people. I can probably swoop one up. As I kept driving, I noticed the parking lot was completely full, and people were driving around looking for parking. Then I saw it. The line. What I saw earlier was only the first segment of the line. There must have been at least 100 people in line, maybe more. It turned around the corner like an L shape. There was no way I was gonna wait so I drove back home empty handed. I worked a few hours, then I figured, maybe I should try the apple store. So at 10 AM, I drove to the mall. It was 10x worse. So.......

The kids scatter like cockroaches when they hear the word "bath time". What is it with kids and not liking to take baths?

Graduate

Kristin will be starting kindergarten in August, and her preschool had a graduation party for all the kids in her class. I still can't get over how fast time has gone by. I recall the times when I used to pick her up from school and she would come running to me, excited and happy I wast there to 'rescue' her from school. Nowadays, it's the complete opposite. When I pick her up now, she runs away, hoping to be able to play for a few minutes longer before heading home. I'm both happy and sad about the whole thing...........happy to know that she is ready for school, and has completed a short chapter in her life, and sad that she is growing so fast. Next thing you know she will be graduating from high school, and then college. 

She looks so cheesy in this picture.

Someday this little rugrat is going to have her own graduation. 

I think her gown was a 'little' too big for her. 

Breakfast of Champions

Getting Kristin to eat breakfast is like pulling teeth. I guess the same could be said about dinner time. Kristin can sit there blabbering about nonsense for 15 minutes without taking a bite of her food. Kayla is not as bad, and when she is hungry, she concentrates on her food and keeps eating non stop without ever looking up. It’s funny how the 2 can be so different.
