I'm married!

Today we had a busy day,  gymnastics in the morning which we barely made. Then a trip to the store and a play date with one of William's friends which went fairly well all before noon!  After the playdate we came home for lunch and didn't have enough time for nap time before seeing daddy's arrival from Hawaii. So I did what any good parent would do and let the kids watch a movie :).

The kids had a blast picking him up from the airport and seeing daddy arrive. After seeing J we raced off to the library for another play date with a different friend of William's.  As we were in the car I found Evelyn's goodie bag from a friends party.

Evelyn: Mommy what's that?
Me: that's the gift bag from N's party.
Evelyn: Can I have it?
(hands it to evelyn)
(Evelyn takes out ring and puts it on her finger)
Evelyn: singing "I'm married, I'm married, I'm married".  See mommy I just wanted my ring.  I'm wearing a ring does that mean I'm married?

Bath time memories

Really having two kids makes bath time so much fun though I wish William were a little more cautious in the tub.  his latest favorite activity is jumping in the tub.  I can't seem to diswaid him even when i take him out after doing it.  he screams his head off then does it again the next night. he also likes to sit on the back ledge of the tub and slide down the side of the tub.

Tonight was actually a great bath time.  I sat back on their stool and watched the kids play nicely.  Evelyn sang whatever came to her mind for half of the bath.  and as a bonus I didn't get soaking wet from William's splashes.  After bath time I read Williams current favorite books Dazzling Diggers and Silly Sally and he didn't do to bad going down.  Evelyn got two of her favorite books from the big purple book for beginners.  She was exceptionally patient with me as I seem to be coming down with something - again.  She is such a sweet girl.  I love it when she randomly pipes up with an mommy I love you - I'm not even going to call the cops to arrest you (Idon't know where this one came from) and my personal favorite from when she was a little younger mommy I love you so much.  I'm going to have to through you in the garbage"  You may be able to guess she was fond of Oscar at the time :).

So tonight I am reflecting and thinking of all the memories that I have left out of this blog by not following through with it and will now make sure to take a few minutes to recap my favorite parts of the day.  Because once a memory is gone it is gone forever.
