10 on Tuesday

1. The girls got guess who for Christmas and have loved playing it. It is more fun for all of us if we wait for Eric to get home so we can have teams. So most nights now once Colt is in bed, us four settle on the couch and play guess who. It has really been fun watching the girls play and ask their questions.
2. The girls are Sunbeams now! I am late on this bur from traveling and sickness this past Sunday was only their second one in their Sunbeam class. They had a bit of a hard time the first week but loved it this time. Getting used to sharing time was different but they seem to like it a lot. The first week Rachel's name got called to go help with sharing time and she was so excited. Livy was upset because she didn't get called. She didn't understand when I tried to explain it to her how they chose names. Poor kid. I am glad they are loving it now and are happy to be going. And so am I.
3. I had parent teacher conference at the girls school last week and it was great. They had nothing but good things to say about both of them and that they are just a joy to have in class. They play well with others, listen well, are well behaved, fun to talk to, and are so very different. They are doing great with their skills and have both improved since the beginning of the year. They said that they are well adjusted because they will play with everyone and are still so happy to play with each other but don't need to be with each other to be happy. I guess that can be a problem with twins sometimes. It was a great conference and I am so proud of both of you girls. I love you so much and can't believe you are so old already! Stop growing!
4. We are finally getting the girls bigger beds. They have been in toddler beds and we just bought them "big" beds. Now we have to do some shopping and get their room ready. Room rearranging time before the baby gets here!
5. We are having a girl! In case anyone missed the announcing post! We are really excited but haven't thought of a name yet. The girls are thrilled to have a sister.
6. We went to a birthday party last weekend and as we were walking back to the car they both had a bag of chips and Rachel says to me "their mom makes the best chips ever!" Later that day she told me I make the best cheese sticks ever.
7. We finally started skyping with my parents. The girls love it and ask all day long if we can call them on the computer. It's so nice because if I have to do something they can sit there by themselves and chat with Hannah and show her all their stuff!
8. Livy is the little mom for sure. I was going to go to a baby shower this weekend. Before I left Eric and Livy went to get donuts. She couldn't leave with out giving me instructions though "Don't forget to take care of Rachel while we are gone. When we get back we will take care of Rachel and then you can go." And when she got back she came to tell me to make sure not to forget the present for the shower. Oldest child for sure, even if it is only by a minute!
9. I bought a big pack of full sized candy bars for Primary but someone else did too so they didn't need mine. Instead of being smart and returning it we opened it. This is bad news. I have already eaten 3 in the first day. I will let you know how long it takes us to finish all 30 pieces!
10. I am dreading the heat of a Houston summer that I know is coming but I am loving the fruit that is coming already. We have made two trips to Costco just for the blueberries already and they have been delicious. The kids eat them by the carton and have blue poop! Too much info, sorry. But I'm happy they are loving them and asking for them to eat over other stuff! Yea for summer fruit!
