Girly Girl in the Making. . .

We had a pretty chilly week here but thank goodness the 60 degree weather comes back this coming week, just in time for Easter!  Miss M had a fairly normal week at daycare but has started having a habit of SCREAMING and Crying at the top of her lungs when she gets told to not do something.  I understand it is so loud that often it will get teachers from the other rooms to come running because they think something is seriously wrong - nope just Maci and her impressive two year old tantrums.

What a Beauty. . . 

 They made a snowman - GO AWAY MARCH SNOW!

Friday - I was exhausted on Friday after a busy, long feeling week.  After picking up Maci & eating our Pizza, I asked Clint for time to take a hot bath.  I was so out of it afterward, he let me head to bed to relax and enjoy some alone time.  I was laying in bed by 730p with "A league of their own" on TV.  Very lame but very relaxing and enjoyable all at the same time!  My body must have also known that I needed it because I woke up Saturday with a sore throat, something Clint had as of Friday morning.

Saturday - Maci was up normal time, ate some cereal and headed to Lil Gym with us.  She had a great time as usual but when we went to Cooper's with the group for brunch afterward she just seemed exhausted.  Maci didn't touch her food and ultimately fell asleep in Clint's lap - so not our Maci!  We went home and took a 2 hour nap as a family.  When we woke up we decided to go to the newer outlet malls to pick up Maci some spring/summer essentials.  Maci fell asleep again on the way there and then let us just push her around for almost 4 hours in her stroller.  The only time we saw a slight smile was when she got some new shoes at the Croc store - anyone that has been around Maci lately knows how much this girl LOVES shoes!  Poor kid was just not feeling herself and while it made for a very easy/peaceful shopping day, she was pathetic.  She fell asleep again on the way home and cried like a baby when we tried to give her a bubble bath before bed.  We could tell she was running a slight temp so we gave her some Tylenol and put the lil slug to bed :(  After she was in bed, Clint and I enjoyed NCAA games and we got caught up on our Scandal.  

Sunday - Miss M came bouncing into our room at about 730a today and was a complete 180 from her mood the day prior!  Thank goodness!!  On the other hand, I had gone to bed with some NyQuil so was still out of it.  Thankfully Clint let me sleep until about 830a when we all got up and headed to Egg & I to get a good breakfast.  Maci took a good nap in the car on the way home but she wouldn't sleep once we got home :-/  Poor Clint had to deal with the napping problems while I ran out for the weekly grocery trip.  This week's trip was fairly fun since I helped the Easter Bunny out with some shopping for a special little girl :)  After we put everything away, Maci begged me to do her favorite activity "PAINTING HER NAILS"  She was quite proud of the finished product!

Got to Let Them Dry, Right Mommy?!

 Toesies!!!

 Finger Nails!

 So Proud!

I am ready to take a nap or at least lay around for a bit.  The sun has finally come out on this warm day, rain earlier, so we may take a nice family walk a little later.  For now it is NCAA basketball and some R&R to ensure we are all healthy for the work/school week ahead.

Clint and I are excited for this coming week since it is Clint's 37th Birthday on Tuesday!!! WOAH  In addition, we get Good Friday as a work holiday but Maci's daycare is open so another day date with covered babysitting :)  We also have some vacation to burn before our FY end so we are taking the Monday after Easter off.  That means we have a 4 day weekend coming up with Maci in school 2 of the days - AKA we will get a lot accomplished around the house too!!

Lots of Love,
C, K & M
