The girls are doing really well.. they've calmed back down, are minding again and now if I could get them to stop fighting it would ...feel like the Twilight Zone around here. Mallory made me laugh yesterday.. she kept instigating fights, every time I looked up she was either pushing Mikyla, punching her, pinching her or otherwise trying to start a fight. I put her in the time out chair 3 or 4 times, then while I was cooking dinner I glanced in the living room where they'd been dancing - just in time to see her push Mikyla back and almost knocked her down. Mal threw up her hands and went straight to the time out chair on her own without being told. I couldn't help it, it cracked me up.. like she was thinking, okay, I pushed her and it was worth time out! Lordy that kid.
Maegan is in a growing spurt.. she seems to have gotten 3 or 4 inches taller in the past week. She talks up a storm and carries conversations with me like a 6 year old would. She's so smart it's hard to believe she's just two. Pretty as a picture too, she looks like a walking talking baby doll. She came through the kitchen today and said, "Mammy, where's that purse I got for Cwis-mas." 2 years old!
Mikyla's got her hands full trying to find her own private space. It's hard for her because Mallory wants to imitate every move she makes, and Maegan follows her around like a faithful puppy dog. Sometimes she gets cross about it, but for the most part she's a good sport. Maegan calls her "Mommy-Mikyla" and Mik melts. Maegan gets her way and everybody's happy.. for 5 minutes or so, until Mallory invades Mik's space.
We've not heard from Sarah and Roy since they called on the 4th to let us know they made it there. Roy's mom called this afternoon, said she'd gotten ahold of them and that they're out of minutes on their prepaid cell phone but were supposed to be getting some today so they can call and check on the girls. In case you don't get to do that Sarah, and in case you get to read here instead.. they're just fine. Their biggest concern in life right now is that Zoe from Zoe 101 left on the Nickelodeon Movie, and might not come back.. now that has them worried!
Bonnie's taking some college courses and brought the boys to us for a couple of hours yesterday and today. She's pretty good about getting back here as fast as she can, she knows we pretty much have our hands full. It's not so bad when Mikyla and Mallory are in school, but still, Dips and I like to have some down time once in a while.. so it's all good. :)
I've got some more pictures that I haven't had time to post, maybe I'll get them up tonight. Lisa took some cute Christmas pics and gave them to me the other day, I need to go through them.
I haven't taken many myself this week, I've been lazy about that. I can't find the charger that goes to my new camera.. we've bought 2, had 1 and none of the three work. The camera fits, but won't charge on them. I am too ignorant to be able to figure out on the kodak help site which is supposed to work with my camera, but the two we bought were for Z series ezshare cameras (which I have) yet neither worked. Sooo if any of you out there can tell me precisely the charger to get, that will truly work, let me know, cuz I'm tired of buying the wrong ones! Mine's a Z712 IS Kodak EZShare.
Okay, time to get the girls in bed for school. Stay safe, stay warm, love you all!
G'nite!
