Default The girls....

Hi guys! Sorry I haven't been around as much as I should be...or wish I could be for that matter. I have 5 kids full time now and my step son and mother are here for the summer as well. I am always behind on everything...can't seem to find enough hours in the day...but I am trying to be here as much as I can be.

Anyway...been a while since I updated on the girls..so I thought I would.

As per normal they are keeping me crazy busy!! Harley is getting much better at her flying. She will now fly to her hula hoop on command. Getting her to come back?....well we are still working on that one...!!!! It's really fun tho to have her on the computer chair....or your leg or something and just say...."Harley, Fly!" (and point to her hoop) and have her just take off! I will try to grab a pic of it soon. She has gotten great at landing too. The other day she was playing on the coffee table and took off into the kitchen...she couldn't find anywhere she wanted to land so she flew around in circles until I came in and offered her my arm...she flew right to me and landed perfectly. It was very cool!

Maple is being Maple! Getting into everything and causing trouble! Just yesterday I got an MSN message from a good friend (and one of the very few humans Maple actually likes) saying that my phone just called her house. When I checked...Maple was playing on the kitchen table..where the cordless was laying...and must have hit redial!!! My friend said everytime she said hello...Maple said hello back! Ha! She's been wandering all over of course. And both her and Harley are talking more then ever!

They are getting all kinds of new words and phrases...and the things they say sometimes are just halarious!!! Harley is mumbling all the time and trying to say new things...and Maple has started repeatedly saying HI DADDY, of course whenever he is NOT home...and then tries to bite him when he gets home..!

They have both started eating much better all of a sudden. Not sure what that's about but it sure pleases me. Eating lots more fresh fruits and veg then normal! I guess all my hard work is starting to finally pay off....!!!!!

Anyway...just wanted to let you all in on how they are doing and say thanks for all the great advice I've gotten along the way to get us here. They are the lights of our lives...couldn't live without them now! My precious girls!

Will try to post some new pics soon!
Maybe even later today! If not...by Sunday for sure...I promise! LOL....

Have a great day everyone!

Loved your update.

You sound so busy - I hope your Mom is a big help & your step-son. I remember being really busy in the summer - kind of a program director & taxi + the regular. Now my son is older it is much easier but the short-order cook part of my life is in full swing - preparing 'meals' even at midnight.

Maple is one amazing character. Soon you'll be getting calls for Maple. Congrats on Harley's training. I can't wait for the photos to come.

Thanks everyone..they are for sure too smart for their own good at times. Maple is screaming right now because the kids won't share their cookies with her lol.

I will try to get to taking some pics real soon.
