Thwimming, Thwimming in the Backyard

Miss Fabulous loves the water. She gets that from her dad. They are both a couple of fish. At least once each week, MF begs me to get the "thwimming pool" out and I usually do...its a nice break from the bathtub and the "colors and bubbles" that have to be applied there. Plus, I like her to be outside playing. I can easily see her from the kitchen area (where I'm usually found) and she has all kinds of fun splashing, "thurfing", and keeping her "children" in line. She constantly has her children with her, sometimes 6, sometimes 2, and other times 3. I had to hold the door for them until I convinced MF that they could easily go thru the door and she didn't have to worry. Anyhow, she loves the water.
Miss Fabulous in her overly full pool. I turned the water on and promply forgot about it. When I remembered it, it was overflowing and had created quite a puddle.
Riding on her "thurf board".
And her new favorite, jumping to see just how much you can splash. This is the main reason I like her outside rather than the bathtub. She has her board, her toys, and lots of room to splash!

I found your blog via another blog (can't remember which) and it's wonderful.

My 3 year old would love it if she could swim right now, she also loves to splash.

The List

This is an incomplete list of the things I'm trying to do before December 15. I know I'm missing a few things but you get the idea. I wish I had more time, but at the same time, I know I would just waste it and end up doing everything at the last minute anyway. So here's at least a partial list of things I need to do or make: 1. matching pajama pants for my girls and their cousins. 2. 4 more bags and 2 more purses. 3. smallish blankets and pillows for my girls' baby dolls and/or stuffed animals. 4. turn 2 sweaters into Christmas dresses for my girls 5. Christmas shop for John 6. gifts/goodies for neighbors and friends 7. decorate for Christmas 8. 2 tutus 9. Christmas cards? or wait until after the baby is born and send an update with an announcement? 10. finish getting the girls' room in order and looking cute 11. organize the basement and purge the STUFF #10 doesn't necessarily have to be done before the 15 th but I'd like to just get it DONE already. ...

I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...
