2 Megans

Today we went to the park for a picnic for the 4th of July. After we were done eating, the girls went to go play on the swings and slides. There was another family also at the park, who had a little girl named Megan. My Megan was so excited because she has always wanted to meet someone with her name. The 2 Megans instantly became friends. They played for about 40 minutes until the other Megan had to go home. My Megan was very sad and wanted to play with her again.

Megan wanted to have another friend to play with. I told her to go play with Lindsey. And she told me, "Lindsey isn't my friend, she is my sister." I tried to explain to her that sisters make great friends. But she didn't want to believe me. I hope she will believe me when she is older.

Megan's 6th Birthday

Megan's 6th Birthday was May 3rd. These are some pictures of her special day. We were hoping to go to the Zoo. But it rained all weekend. So we went and saw Monster vs Aliens 3D.

Megan's Fall Carnical

This is a little old. I just pulled the pictures off my camera.
In September Megan's school had their Fall carnival.

They had about 8 or 9 big blow up slides and rides. The kids could go on the rides and play some games to win little toys. You could pay tickets for the rides or buy an unlimited bracelet. I was really glad that I bought the unlimited bracelet. Megan when on every ride at least 3 time. Except the large slide. She went down it about 10.

Lindsey was happy to watch her big sister. She would get upset if she couldn't see Megan and start calling for her.

Problem 10 years from Now!!

Yesterday I realized that I am going to have a BIG problem on my hands in 10 years.

Ryan had a doctor appointment yesterday. (He had to have minor surgery on his foot to have a wart removed. He is doing great!! His foot is still a little numb this morning so he hasn't been in any pain.)

While he was in the back with the doctor the girls and I waited in the waiting room. Megan and Lindsey were looking a magazines, until some young men came in. There was a young missionary that Lindsey instantly gravitated to. She said hi. Then gave him a magazine. Started talking to him. He said something back to her and she giggled and run away.
I was thinking... OH GREAT!! My 21 month old is a flirt.

Then I watched Megan. She was setting by a young man (around 20) and she was talking to him. She also gave him a magazine and told him she liked that magazine. Then to my embarrassment she asked if he was married. Thank heavens the nurse called this young man back before he could answer. Lindsey is a giggly flirt and Megan asked men if they are married.

Heaven Help Me when they are Teenagers!!

School Pictures

Megan is getting her school pictures done today. And I'm a nervous wreck. She looked cute when I dropped her off at school this morning. I just hope she stays that way. I'm so nervous that she will forget it's picture day and mess up her hair or her dress. Or that she will forget to give her teacher her picture order form. She forgots to turn in her homework, so I'm really nervous she will forgot the order form.

I am appalled that school pictures are so expensive. Delevoping pictures isn't that expensive so I don't know why they have to charge so much. I was only going to buy the class picture but I decided that I wanted Megan's picture. So I bought the cheapest package they had. I figured that we can scan the pictures and email them to anyone who wants one can I can post them on my blog.

I really would like pictures of my girls to give to everyone. I guess will have to take them to Sears or beg Ryan to take some. I don't know why getting pictures done is so stressful!!

Megan's First Day of School

Megan started Kindergarten yesterday.

She was so excited. I took off work yesterday so that I could be here on first day. I did okay... I didn't cry!! I was nervous about getting her there and on time.

We got there a little early, which was good because the halls were packed with parents taking their kindergartner to school. Ryan and I were both anxious about leaving her. Lindsey wasn't too happy, because she wanted to stay and play with the toys.

When we got home... I knew that I need to be working on laundry and packing for our trip this weekend. But I was so anxious that I just wasted time on the computer for 2 hours until it was time to go pick Megan up.

Megan wasn't ready to leave, when Ryan and I picked her up. She was excited to tell us all about school. She kept saying that she wants to go again. I'm glad she likes school and I hope she keeps that attitude all through school. Or at least for several years. Today Ryan will have to get Megan to school by himself. I'm nervous for him, and hope Megan will get ready on time.

Asleep before 11pm!! It's a Miracle!!

Megan finally fell alseep before 11pm tonight. Since school starts next week, I have been trying to get her to bed earlier. I doesn't matter how early or late I make her go lay down she won't go to sleep. Last night she was awake until around 2am. I just keep hoping that when school starts she will be tired enough to go to sleep.

Now that I got her to sleep before midnight, we will have to work on her falling asleep in her bed!!

1 Week and counting...

Megan and I went to the school and met her teacher yesterday. The school had an open house and we were able to go see her classroom and meet her teacher. We also found out that she will be in afternoon Kindergarten. I'm a little disappointed...I was hoping that she would be in the morning so I could take her to school. Oh well, Ryan will just have to take her and pick her up. Afternoon will probably be better for her because she is not a morning person. She is a grump if she gets up too early!! As hard as I try to get her to go to bed early...She won't. She will lay in bed and read or play.
