So much to do...so little time

I just can't believe how fast time is flying right now. The girls are growing up so fast and I am trying to slow time down a little bit so I can enjoy each moment with them. I'm trying to get us all ready to take our trip to Spokane and my list continues to grow each day. I'm trying to decide what to pack and what we won't need so we don't end up lugging around unnecessary items with us. Jesse wants me to take it easy on packing clothes so we don't have to bring much to the airports but I have to remind him that we will be checking our baggage at the curb with the sky cabs so we won't be stuck carrying the luggage through the airport.

I'm also trying to get ahead on my homework so I don't have to complete anything while we are on the trip. I know I won't want to be stuck on the computer while we are visiting the family and friends. I have to get my reading and discussion questions finished before we leave and maybe get a jump start of next weeks' project so I don't feel stressed about finishing the course. I have 2 more weeks in this class and then I won't have to take another finance course again, woohoo!!!

The girls are getting to the stage where they need to be entertained at all times. They don't just want to sit in their swing or lay on their play mat, you have to actually be playing with them or talking to them, otherwise they get upset. So this is a new thing for us considering they used to sleep so much during the day and now they are awake and need attention. They are starting to grab for their toys a little more and Riley loves her snuggly bear and she holds it in her arm and tries to chew on the ears of the bear. It is so cute. I will have to get a picture of that. She also goes to bed with the snuggly right next to her.

That is about all I have to report right now. I'm trying to get things crossed off of the packing list and pray I can get it all done in the next 3 days.

  1. The "must entertain us" stage is fun - some nights they flip out if we leave them alone for just a second. Hoping it passes very soon.

    I'm way chicken - no way I'd want to try to travel with the girls yet - hope the airport goes smoothly

  2. The entertain me stage is fun isn't it?? Like all things, it does get better. You will look back at this time when they are as old as Cohen is now-Mr. I-will-do-it-myself...and put-me-down-I-don't-want-to-be-held...must crawl-must get into anything I can LOL! Each stage comes with its own advantages and disadvantages. The unfortunate thing is that it all goes too quickly. They are getting so big but just remember, it gets funner! (yep I made up that word LOL!)
