Butterflies and Babies

The weekend draws to a close and I feel a little sad. I enjoyed the time with my girls and I hate being gone from them for such long hours. But I only have a few more of these left and I will be finished with yet one more thing so that I can graduate!

Kara was very fussy this afternoon when we went out to my grandparents place, I hope that she isn't coming down with something and that it is just teeth. There were several points where she just cried and cried and cried. Kiley was a little fussy too but not quite as bad as Kara.

Abby is still doing well with potty training, she had a bit of an accident out at the farm but that was my fault for not showing her to the bathroom when we got there. Oops! Naughty mommy!

We re-arranged the girl's rooms and I'm wondering if that was a mistake? The room downstairs IS bigger and fits two cribs and dressers much easier than the upstairs room. We discovered heater vents and opened them up so it is warm enough for them to be down there. My main motivation is that Abby is now closer and I can put her back to bed easily. I also wanted it to be easier for her to play in her room and to have a little sanctuary where she can go if she's overwhelmed.

Of course ideas usually are better when they are just ideas. We did switch things and I'm so thankful for the help of my parents  & brothers and sister. (they made quick work of it) But now I'm feeling a little bad because the twins cried and cried when I left them down there... and Abby cried and cried because she wanted to go back to her room, she doesn't have her butterflies... etc.

Perhaps I made a mistake.

At least the snow is starting to melt... and warm weather won't be far away...
Everyone is a genius. but if you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, it will live it's whole life believing that it is stupid...
