single ladies

thank you beyonce.  mae and i love to dance to this song.
 
cody is left for austin last week, and started his new job yesterday.  he is still getting acclimated, but is enjoying it so far.  to all the single parents, major props.  it is hard! sunday was one of the more difficult days i've had since becoming a mom.  church, by yourself, during nap time with a toddler that doesn't like to nap, and having a calling can make for an interesting day. but, we made it through.

each moring we have skype time with daddy.

 munchkin has loved the toys that gram and gramps have.  these are some seriously old hand-me-down toys.  uncle coleman style.  she loves these big legos, and has actually gotten pretty good at putting them together.

 bad parent moment of the week:  mae had a later dinner one night, so i figured she wouldn't be ready for her milk at the normal time.  she was a little grumpy and trying to tell me something but i just brushed her off and told her to go play. finally she was happy playing with the canned goods my mom keeps in the pantry.  my mom and i heard this slurping noise, and we look over and mae is trying to drink from the cream of mushroom soup can.  apparently, a later dinner does not mean a later milk time.

we had a cold and rainy week last week, and homegirl was itching to get outside, and let off some energy.  i've always said i would never take my kids to those playgrounds inside the mall, it's like a breeding ground for germs.  well, after a few days of trying to entertain this busy, active girl inside, i finally caved.  and she had a blast.

 needless to say i brought her home and changed her clothes and wiped her down.

her new fave is apples.  i love watching her eat them, it's so funny. 
 and she still likes to have her legs crossed.

some good news, we're under contract with our house.  i was so nervous that it would take a really long time, and i would have to deal with all kinds of stuff by myself, but we got two offers the day before cody left. it was a big testimony builder for me, and reassured me that this is the right thing for our family.
