As I sit her as the computer I'm just a few hours away from my 'usual' bed time. The kids are fast asleep, Justin is in the living room flipping through channels feverishly to find something 'other' than the Academy Awards to watch. I'm not a big movie person, so the fact that our Sunday night ritual of watching "America's Funniest Home Videos" has been altered by the Academy Awards was kind of a bummer. Don't get me wrong. I'll be on the UsWeekly site tomorrow reading all the headlines and looking at the dresses worn, but right now I'm more intrigued about hanging up all these clothes piled high on my bed so that I can finally crawl in bed in a few hours....
It was a pretty busy weekend. Tara and Brian and their so precious little girl Peyton were in town this weekend. Kaylee had a dance competition at Magnolia High School and they came in from Austin. Justin was on call this weekend so while he was working on Saturday, I took the kids with The Brunners to see Kaylee dance. Its been a while since I've seen Kaylee in person and wow, she is quite the young lady. She grew a foot since I saw her last and is such a sweet young lady. She's got braces but that doesn't stop her from smiling big and dancing her heart out. I've been watching Kaylee dance for a really long time now and she has improved so much over the years. Peyton loved watching her big sister dance and was even shaking her bootie throughout the music...Peyton will be officially be TWO in May but she is ALREADY POTTY TRAINED. She is super sharp and very soft spoken but can put words together like she's a teenager already....AND DID I MENTION THAT SHE'S POTTY TRAINED?!?! Poor Wesley is two months younger and while he can definitely chat it up with the girls, he only says 'tee-tee' after he goes and he says it whether he goes #1 or #2...so we aren't even going to attempt potty training until he's 2 and maybe we'll have it down by the time he's 3 (I'm being super positive on that account!!)
After Kaylee's dance, the Brunners and the Peters (minus Justin) had lunch at TGIFridays. Very very good lunch and I was trying my hardest to make having two kids look seamless and easy b/c I really really want the Brunners to have another one soon and I didn't want Brian to think we were a poor example of a two kid family with all the craziness that eating out with two kids and one parent can be. But luckily I didn't have to coerce the kids or anything...they did a super job and were very well behaved and just great kids!! All the kids did a good job! Somewhere in the middle of our meal, Brian, who typically doesn't get a word in edge wise when Tara and I start gabbing, tells me that 'Justin is going to have his hands full when Kate gets older.' I giggled and asked what he meant and he said 'She's gorgeous...she is going to be really pretty and she's so sweet.' Just hearing those words from Brian, brought butterflies to my stomach. As a mom you always think your child is the best..your supposed to...they are your life...you created them..wanted them more than anything in the world. But to have someone else tell you that your child is beautiful and sweet.....no need to say anymore. So on that note, Kate and I were playing with the camera while the boys were mowing the grass this afternoon and I got some gorgeous pics of my sweet little girl. And for the record, I forgot my camera in a rush to get to Kaylee's dance on time so I don't have any pics of Kaylee to put up right now but hopefully Tara can send me some and I can post them soon!
