Well, it really didn't hit me until this morning when I didn't have to take Melanie to school this morning that it is the week of Thanksgiving! Where did this year go?
We decked the halls earlier today, and all that's missing is our Christmas tree, which will be here next weekend! It was so warm out today (I am sitting her with the fan on) I decided to get it all done. The girls are so excited for Christmas this year.
Meredith has been my little scaredy cat lately. Everything is scaring her...our Santa that climbs the ladder, Gary the Elf (who returned from the North Pole yesterday) and being away from me at all. I know one day I am going to miss her being all over me, and it doesn't bother me at all that she wants me, but I just worry about her being so scared and sad all the time all of a sudden.
She also has been super funny lately. Grandma Wesley moved down to my mom and dad's about a month ago, and so I try and get the girls over there to visit with her during the week. Her favorite show is Judge Judy, so now Mere is saying that is her favorite show, and she wants Judge Judy toys for Christmas....I hope she's not too disappointed when there aren't any Judge Judy toys under the tree!
Melanie had her Thanksgiving lunch at school. I had asked her if they were doing anything special, like wearing a costume or singing a song. She said no, so I didn't bring my video camera or anything. Luckily, I had my regular camera and got my little turkey marching in and singing her songs! She told me later that she "forgot they were doing something." Oh well, good to know for next year! Always make sure to bring the video camera!!
We also made our way up to Athens with the girls for a game earlier this month. We had such a blast and it was cold, so we moved over to the sunny section of the stadium, where the girls did our hair. So funny!!
I also haven't posted anything about Halloween....we had the cutest Rapunzel and ballerina EVER! They had fun and were so cute...the only issue we had was when someone was passing out million dollar bills with their candy as a joke and Melanie was VERY upset when she discovered they weren't real! They have already been discussing what they will be for next Halloween....Melanie is still undecided, and Meredith said she is either going to be Miss Piggy or Jason Segel. Really Mere?? I honestly don't know where she gets her material. She knows Jason Segel from the Muppets movie, which she has been ready to see ever since she saw the first preview months ago...we are taking her on Wednesday. :)
WELL, while I have been writing this, the girls have been outside jumping on the trampoline in their bathing suits. My neighbors already think I am crazy, but when they see my girls in bathing suits outside in November, they will think I am completely nuts!
