The Plan

The plan for the other night:
Put Lexi to bed at 8.
Clean house.
Update blog.  Realized I hadn't even posted about Christmas.
Take a shower (the first one of the day).
Read.
Go to bed early.

The reality:
Lexi did not want to go to sleep.
Got her in bed at 8:30.
Cleaned the house.
Lexi woke up.
She started screaming.
I went in her room.
She asked me to rock her.
I did.
She held on tight when I tried to put her back to bed.
I continued rocking her.
Put her down.
Sat down at the computer to blog.
Blogger was not working.
Continued trying.
Stopped trying.
Finally got in the shower at 10:30.
Did not get to read.
Did not get to update blog.
Did not get to go to bed early.
Did get to rock my 2 year old longer than normal.
Would not trade my life for anything.

kindergarten boxcar parade

Well, everyone was healthy until Lexi got the flu and I got pneumonia.  Needless to say, it's been a rough week...BUT, we are better again and for the most part back to normal.  Jason, Lexi and I all worked together on this and we think it turned out great!  All the boxcars were unique and wonderful!  The parade was wonderful...it should have been televised!!

daddy/daughter dance

I have some catching up to do on the blog, but I wanted to write tonight while my feelings and emotions are raw... About a month ago we received an email about the daddy/daughter dance tonight.  Jason attached the flyer and forwarded it to me saying, "I have to work."  I frowned and moved on.  I didn't think much about it until the other day.  I had an "a-ha" moment and asked Jason if we could ask his dad so Lexi wouldn't miss out on the ball.  Jason called Kevin the next day and I received a text from Jason right after saying, "My dad would be happy to take Lexi."  I was delighted and Lexi was on cloud 9 when I told her Paw Paw wanted to take her to the ball (side note...we didn't tell Lexi about the ball because we didn't think she was going to be able to attend since Jason was out of town). The next day Jason left work early and met us at the mall for a little ball dress shopping.  Lexi danced around the dressing room in about 8 diff...
