Farewell Carpet!

Abby and I found a baby bird perching on our fence this afternoon while we were out swimming in the kiddie pool. She was fascinated with the robin because it let her come so close. She was very concerned that the baby bird was sad and crying because it didn't have it's mom.


What a busy past few days. We spent the other day down at my mom's and enjoyed hanging out around the house. Abby got her 'bouncy' back as the guys got the trampoline out of the shelter belt (from the strong winds) we grilled out and enjoyed the night on the porch. Kiley and Kara played around the puppies. Kiley started crawling on her hands and knees and took a few crawling steps. Kara is still happily army crawling away with her left arm pulling all the weight.

We are getting ready to put our new floor in tomorrow! I'm excited and nervous. Hopefully everything will go ok. Tom's parents are coming up later in the afternoon and my dad and brothers are coming up earlier. Perhaps my mom will even come! It will be quite a party. I'm crossing my fingers that the weather will be nice and we'll be able to spend time outside with the girls.

Abby absolutely loves swimming and begs to play out in the pool. She played with my brother out in the pool and even enjoyed running through the sprinkler for awhile. Usually she's a little scared of water hitting in the face. I'm hoping that the pool and sprinklers will make it less traumatic at bath time!

Kiley is still puking, most of the time I don't catch it until I'm walking along and ... oh thats wet.... yeah I step in a nice little puddle of puke. I hate to think of what the carpet is going to look like when we rip it up! I'm so glad we are getting rid of it. She is also my little cuddler though, loves to bury her head in my shoulder and just cling to me for awhile. If I would hold her constantly she would be happy as a lark. Kara is the exciteable one and will literally tip over she gets so excited when she sees me coming. She also loves to yell randomly at things she finds funny or entertaining. Today while watching Super Why she kept yelling 'AHHH!" "Ahhh!" I couldn't figure out what was going on!

(Abby decided to try riding under the stroller lol)

We went out for a walk the other night. I'm loving that Tom is getting off at six. We have a whole hour more to spend together. We even got to play at the school playground and the babies watched a girls softball game that was going on. For awhile, untill they got tired and cranky. We stopped for icee's at the concession stand for 10 cents a piece and walked back home. It was so picture perfect (minus the babies' screaming- but hey we're used to that anyways) I love it... people are always like. "Oh they're so cute... man you have your hands full" Or... "Wow you have a busy house." Yes... yes we do. Never boring though!

Silly babies .Abby is starting to help me more with them. She will try to entertain them sometimes if I tell her I need help or to get things for me. Usually she ends up getting distracted but hey it's a start! She also calls both of them Kara... hasnt quite figured out they have different names. Either that or she just likes the sound of Kara lol


Well laptop battery is fading... and so am I. Night!

*waves* bye carpet! I have no idea why so many houses have WHITE carpet. With our new house, we put in hardwoods and tile everywhere except for the bedrooms. I picked carpet that kind of looks dirty already. ;)
