Just the three of us...

Nicholae, Tori and Mommy-

We are getting along better than I could have ever imagined. I'm not going to sugar coat anything but each child has their moments but being a single parent right now has its benefits because they can't play one parent against the other which was happening ALL the time before.

We have a nice routine going... I think all of us would have to agree that bath time each night is our favorite part of the day because the kids love to splash- I think it is Nicholae's goal to get me more wet outside the tub than him being in the tub! LOL

Tori is changing every day- there are just so many more things she learns each day. The funniest thing I thing she does is when she wants to go from the kitchen to the living room *there are two small steps* she screams her head off until someone rushes to her rescue. When she first learned to crawl up the steps she would fall down but now she is too smart for that- hence the screaming for help!

Nicholae says the most amazing things that just make me stop dead in my tracks and laugh because I wonder where he came up with that. For example: he wanted a drink of my pop and wanted it in his milk glass... I told him to go rinse it out and I would then put pop in it. Well here's what he tells me: "mom, I have a rinser watch" he tipped the cup up and slurped out the rest of the milk and goes: "See, all rinsed out- POP Please" I laughed sooo hard.

Each and every day it is nice we do something fun together- we are making a scrapbook to show daddy when we see him. We go to a different park each day and take pictures. We are also going on a scavenger hunt around town and taking a picture each day of a flag and I am finding a militry honor quote- I am predicting some long hours spent in the photo center editing pictures very soon.

Enough for today- today we are going to New Ulm to see Great Grandma Winch- Planning on taking the kids to the Herman the German Park.
