Snow Day...Yay!!

Last week we had a snow day...yay!!! This gave the girls and I time to relax and enjoy one another. We had a great day! One big project we worked on was making homemade Christmas cookies. We called GG and got her recipe, rolled out the cookies, made our homemade frosting, got out the sprinkles, and got busy decorating. The girls had a lot of fun decorating, but most of the fun was eating the cookie dough and frosting:) Thanks GG for the recipe...I always remember decorating cookies with you at your house for Christmas...such wonderful memories. Trying to bring those traditions to my girls now! (by the way, the girls did their own hair this day...I swear!!)

Reagan took the drizzle approach

Kennedy took the drown it approach (there is a cookie under that frosting on her plate)

Your girls look like they had fun!

I just launched a new blog called D-Mom Blog, which I hope is a resource to other parents of diabetic children. I hope to develop relationships with more parents.

(I've included you in my blogroll already.)

Kennedy's Comments

3-23-09 Kennedy: Here sweetie, sit down so you don't fall.

Reagan: Ok Kenny

Kennedy: Good job sweetie, you are such a good sweetie.

3-20-09 Kennedy: Mom, who can I marry?

Mom: I thought you were going to marry Papa?

Kennedy: No, that would make Grammy sad.

Mom: What about Carter? (her new diabetic friend)

Kennedy: No, his kisses are too kissy. (wow!! how did she find that out?)

Mom: What about Chris?

Kennedy: Is he married?

Mom: No

Kennedy: Ok, I will marry Chris Benson. Can I call and ask him? (by the way...he accepted the proposal:))

1-16-09 Mommy- "Wow Kennedy, you colored all of their noses blue."

Kennedy- "Yeah Mom, it was no problem."

1-11-09 We were reading books at Barnes and Noble and I was trying to get Kennedy to look at this wall display...she looked at me calmly, held up her hand and said..."Mom, chill, just chill." I about died!!

11-1-08* Oops...a little help here. * I just need to be alone here. (and she went downstairs and shut the door)* Mom, when Reagan cries we just laugh right?

8-25-08 At church yesterday Kennedy told me it was time to go because church is riducurous (ridiculous)!!

7-25-08 Kennedy is hearing and picking up on more and more. She knows there are certain words she can and can't say so she asks us before she says certain words to see if it is ok. She has even figured out that if she wants to say a word she is not supposed to that she makes up a new meaning for it. Apparently crap means hello in her world.

6-8-08 Today Kennedy kept going into the downstairs bathroom and shutting herself in. When she would come out she would whisper "Mom, I just said shut up in there." Ben and I listened carefully and sure enough she was yelling it in the bathroom and then coming out. I guess all of us need some private time right?

Reagan's Rants

3-23-09 When Reagan gets up in the morning she looks at us and says: How are you? When we answer good she waits for us to ask her and she always replies, "good."

3-23-09 As we were leaving the park yesterday Reagan ran away from the van and back to the park:

Mom: Reagan, come back here.

Reagan: No

Mom: Do you want to go to timeout?

Reagan: No

Mom: Then come back here right now

Reagan: (Holding her finger up) I'm comin mama, just minute.

1-11-09 Reagan got up from her nap and wanted a toy of hers that we couldn't find...she pointed at the door and said, "Go get it Mom." It was clear as day...had to chuckle a little. She is putting lots of words together to form sentences now...such a big girl. She says: pease (please), thank um (thank you), shake it shake it, are you? (when she is looking for someone), and she calls Kennedy, Kenny.

11-1-08* No, No, No, No... (you get the picture!)* wuv oo (love you)* that ucky (pointing at some mud)* fre fry (french fries-when we pulled up to McDonalds for lunch)
