Our Kids

Okay so last week was definitely the worst week with the girls.  I think because they are soooo good I am a little bit unprepared when they act their age, LOL!  Piper had a real temper tantrum out in public, bigger than any one she has ever had at home, that’s the bad news.  The good news is that it didn’t phase me or Lela a bit, I just scooped her up and out we went with her screaming at the top of her lungs right in my ear.  After I got her in her car seat she seemed to forget about the whole thing and off we went.  It was kind of crazy but at least we all came out unscathed.  Thank goodness it wasn’t both of them at the same time, that I might have freaked about.  She has had a couple more since then but we are more prepared.  I just scoop her up and hold her tight and sing or rock her and she calms down, I think it is just supreme frustration and she needs an outlet and an escape.  Then she is back to normal Piper.

She has finally gained another lb after about 6+months of staying strong at 26lbs, she also seems a bit taller so maybe it is a growth spurt.  Also my niece is visiting and that might be part of it.  Overall the girls are doing super, we are powering through the summer although the heat is beginning to wear on us all.  I am not sure if I am pregnant or in menopause with all the hot flashes, LOL!  I mean one minute I am fine and the next I am in a cold sweat all over my body, freaky.  We are off to San Diego for a week starting Friday so that should give us all some down time and some cooler weather.

Thank goodness Jason is such a supportive DH and a great dad, he knows just when to sweep in and rescue me and of course his girls adore him.
