Helping.

So today when I was packing the diaper bag, the ladies were running around since they had their jackets and shoes on ("jacket" has become as exciting to Lily & Reese as "ball" is to puppers). Just for fun I asked Reese to hand me a diaper from the bin (we have these ottomans that store diapers, and other stuff).....and she did. I have this thing, where if I think something just happened coincidentally, I ask again...this happens with words I think I hear them say, ect. So I ask Reese again, can you bring me a diaper, and again, she brings me another diaper. How exciting, my helpers!

Big Bang #2. Well, Lily had her major headcrack 2 days before her mermaid party (hmmm...so that means it happened on her birthday). Reese, of course, had to fall face-first from merely walking outside TODAY. So the Easter egg hunt is Sunday and Reese looks like she ran into a brick wall. She fell on the concrete from JUST WALKING. For many of you that have seen or watch the ladies lately, this is so ironic. Reese (well Lily too) climb on everything and fall off of most things. Couches, chairs, ottomans, ANYTHING. No injuries (knock on wood). In fact, on more than one occasion I have witnessed Reese take headers, falls, tumbles, somersaults, and jumps off of bigger and scarier things. No injuries. Today, walking...not running...and kaboom. Goose-egg, cheek & chin ouchies. As I said, we were on our way to the mall. So now she is out, banged up, and in public which always makes for fun conversation. Things like, "Well it looks like she is having a rough day!" or "Awwww....poor baby (does this mean... Jesus, nice parent?)". Rich and I thought we would take them for some Easter bunny pics today but then realized we would be the only ones thinking we were even being a little funny. And besides, Reese and Lily were so NOT into the Easter Bunny at the Bridgewater Commons. Reese ran up to the one at Menlo yelling "HI HI HI" and waving like Miss America. That was until EB started to make a move to her and Reese was done with him. As much as Rich and I were thinking of doing the EB pics, the thought of 2 screaming kiddies, one with a giant red/purple lump on her head, did not sound like fun to us. Sorry EB. Next year.

In parental news, I am done with the old not-so fun job as of today. Nice feeling. Rich leaves for Pittsburgh Monday. I think we are both just at the point where we are saying "bring it on". As Rich was saying, we have been talking about it since November, in some sick ways its like planning a wedding. All this talk talk talk and then holy crap its here. The weirdest part is that he is looking so fine and doing things and having fun and then boom Tuesday is the big day. We are just having fun this weekend. Easter egg hunts, QT, and lots of smiles.

And oh yeah, today marks 2 weeks until me and RS hang out. Hee hee. Think I am crazy now? Just wait until you hear what I have planned for November....
