Disappointed...

So, I'm going to have a few moments of negativity and then I'm going to try to move on.  I haven't blogged in 4 months...seriously?!  4 months...4 months where I could have been describing all the funny and crazy things that the girls have done and said so that when I'm senile and the girls are reading my blog they will know what was going on when they were 4 and 2.  The last time I blogged I was New Years Eve and I was hoping 2013 would be better...well, it has and it hasn't...Mahir got laid off from Talbots the same day that Mom and I got slammed with the stomach bug in January and he just recently got hired by TJX and started last Monday in time for the stomach bug to hit us again.  Boy, are we ready for spring! 

Funny things that Hannah has done...she is a pistol...she really is...she keeps us hopping but also keeps us laughing and smiling.  I had been calling Mahir a pain in the bum, so one morning she goes "Daddy, you're a pain in the bum" and then she paused and said "Just kidding!" and it was THE cutest thing hearing the way she said "kidding" and accentuated the "just" and "ing".  I wish I had caught it on video!  Also, last week she was eating fruit loops at daycare and a little one (7 months old I think) stole a fruit loop, so she reached in and tried to take the fruit loop out of her mouth and ended up getting a little nibble on her finger, leaving no marks of course.  Well, all Hannah could say was "she took my fruit loop!" and was so serious and determined I couldn't help but laugh!!!!

Leyla...she's almost done with her first year of PRESCHOOL!  When did that happen?!  She's enjoying it so much and I can't believe how far she's come this year and how well she has done in school.  Grampy has Shadow duty every night - not by our choice, but by Shadow's choice (Shadow's our cat for those who don't know).  He'll be trying to do dishes or sit down to watch TV and Shadow will harass him like crazy!  He'll come over to our side and feed her and the other night he said "why do we give her wet food when she doesn't eat it?!" and from out of nowhere Leyla goes "because the shelter told us too!".  Shadow has now been with us for 2 years...so Leyla was only 2 years old when they went to the shelter and got Shadow so for her to remember that and to voice that to Grampy was pretty hilarious! 

OK, so goal for next time is to blog sooner...and, as was the initial point of my blog, not complain about not being a stay at home Mom or missing things or all the other stuff I spent most of last year complaining about...instead, enjoying what I have and sharing the ups and downs with you so that when the girls are older they can look back and see all the funny things they did and all that jazz.
