I really wish that I was a great writer. I wish that I could write eloquently stories of my life in short period of time. So much happens and I tell myself I need to jot down memories so I won't forget. I think if I was a great writer, I could write a lot of them down quickly without thinking... it'll come naturally so that I don't have to look at a blank screen and think how I could put into words the feelings ... the stories... life...

Well, over the summer, we took our girls to chuck ee cheese a lot. They love it there. Jadyn is afraid of the moving band of mice on the stage. She'd point to it and look down as if looking at them would bring her harm, and she'd say "scary ... scary" well, one time we went and hubs and I were going around trying out the games. We did the basket ball thing... we did the skeeball thing and then came the soccer thing. It's this caged box where the bottom is open where the ball rolls down and you kick the soccer ball to hit it into this goal. Hubs was wearing mules type sandals. (slides) well, he kicked the ball really hard and I see the ball flying along with his shoe. I then see him turn behind him looking for his shoe. I don't know why he thought the shoe was behind him. I start laughing because his shoe is in the middle of this cage and there is no way we can get to it. So hubs is hopping around trying to figure out how he can get his shoe back. He was so embarassed. I'm thinking we have to get the manager to open up the cage to retreive his shoe. I was rolling on the floor. Hubs was trying really hard but there was no way we can reach his shoe. SO we had to find the manager and ask him to open up the cage. It was so funny.

Emma scored a goal today. We had her play soccer this fall and I was disappointed that she wasn't very competitive. However, today she was aggressive and she got to score a goal. I missed it because I was at football practice. I was so proud. She's becoming such a tomboy. She still loves girly things but she can't stand wearing dresses. She'll cry when I bring out a dress for her to wear. If she wears a dress for church, the second she comes home she runs upstairs to her room and changes into a shirt and shorts. She's so funny. Jadyn however is my little diva. She loves dressing up.

Yes, I agree with rbk, you tell the best stories! So funny how one of your girls is more "tom boyish" and the other is more girly...seems like a lot of families are like that....my sister was the tom boy in our family. :)

Too funny - LN is also in the whole Diva stage... in a way, I can't wait until she goes into a more tomboy stage (it's hard keeping her in dresses here in Minnesota during the winter!)
