Where does the time go?-March 12, 2015

I was shocked when I saw how long it had been since I posted on this blog. We are both to the point we do not know what day it is and when one finds out we have to remind the other one. We have been warned that summer will be busier. We are not sure we can handle that. If we babysit both girls for a full day it takes us the next day to recuperate. We did not get that break over the weekend. We kept them both last Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, again on Tuesday and today also. We will have them for a short time, hopefully, tomorrow night. After that we are praying for a break. Last weekend we also fit in a little time to wash the Cute Red Vehicle which was no discernible shade of red from all the mag chloride that covered it.

If there is a puddle anywhere around, Hannah will be in it.

She loves puddles, especially mud puddles, more than any little

girl I have ever known. She does not mind wet muddy clothes at all.

 

Today the television was on almost full blast. Hannah was trying to talk over that and Zoey's shouting. Both little voices were as loud as jet engines and as ear piercing as a dentist's drill. I was trying to bring calm to the situation when I looked over and realized Jerry was sleeping through it! Hannah said "Granddaddy's asleep". I agreed. How when you have all of that noise going on in closed quarters can any human sleep? I was close to going insane and he was sleeping through it. It must be nice. For the record, the girls were not fighting. They were merely communicating with each other. Zoey has incredible volume but still is not talking. Hannah can talk endlessly. If Hannah does not pay attention to Zoey, you would not believe the noise that comes out of Zoey until she gets Hannah to notice her. I'm trying not to interfere. I want them to be their own little beings but it is a great test of patience sometimes. At least we are here to enjoy all of this.........when we are awake!
