TGIF

Thank goodness it Friday! Boy have we had a extra busy week! It seems like life has been going about 100 mph these past few weeks and with birthdays and holidays right around the corner I know it isn't going to let up anytime soon. 

Wednesday we went over to the Buells house to make pine one bird feeders! The moms did most of the craft but Presleigh was so proud when she got to show her dad where we hung it for the birds to eat! Presleigh has been having a hard time lately when we go to play. It seems like she really doesn't want to share and is getting frustrated so easily! I know that I can be the same way at times so I have been trying extra hard to be there for her and remain calm when she starts in on one of her tantrums. I see so much of myself in Presleigh. She is intense and fierce, full of passion for so many things in life. She wears her heart on her sleeve and isn't afraid to show emotion. I hope as her mom I can help teach her to embrace who she is and be proud of those traits. I feel like sometimes we try to suppress who our child is when they show too much emotion or intensity. P has been intense since day 1 and I love her for that. 

Thursday after preschool I took Presleigh out to lunch for some McDonald's. This was a pretty big deal because we got to go eat our lunch inside! Every time I even mention McDonald's Presleigh is saying to me" mom I don't want to go to the drive thru- I want to go inside".  Most days we do just go thru the drive up but I thought since today was special we could go inside. P was really great at lunch. Her friend Bria was there and I was quite impressed with Presleighs manners. She was sharing her food, asking for help in a nice way. It was really pleasant. Charleigh has even started eating on some French fries.. We are starting her early :) 

This morning we had our little group of friends over for another craft. The kids did ghost footprints and pumpkin handprints! So cute! I am fully taking advantage of our craft room from here on out. After paint the kids played in Presleighs room. Presleigh is so funny, she kept asking everyone if they wanted some tea.. " tea or milk" she would ask! I was proud of Presleigh, all the kids wanted to dress up in her clothes and she didn't mind one bit. She totally let her friends dress up with her stuff. Maybe she is getting better about sharing! 

After the kids left I got the girls down for a nap. When 1:00 rolls around and both are still up I know I am in trouble. I am so thankful that Charleigh is feeling better now. For over a week she was really cranky and not in a good mood. Finally I have my sweet, happy go lucky Charleigh back! She is such a good baby, she loves to be held but is really starting to love being on the move. She just might be walking soon :) Lord help me!

Thats it for now. I am really lookinf forward to a low key weekend with my girls and hubby!
