enjoying my girls

Jake has been gone since April 23rd, with the exception of Saturday and Sunday. He won't return until Friday the 25th. So, my patience is in full swing and so is my notebook and pen. I swear the things that come out of Isabelle's mouth, I have laughed so hard lately. So my notebook is getting full of her crazy thoughts, ideas, and everything in between. There is no one to share it with, (you know since daddy's gone)and since everyone back at home is working during the day. Sometimes I have to call my mom to quickly share what she said, she's the one person that I know will answer her phone anytime of the day! Thanks goodness for that. I really have been enjoying the girls and we have been busy. Lydia, poor thing has a nasty cold. The last 2 nights it's taken awhile to get her to bed due to her hacking cough and snotty nose. Luckily all Isabelle and I have are a sore throat and some congestion. The last 2 days have been so rainy and cool. Only a high of 68-compared to high 80's...today we actually got caught in the rain! I am still soaking up what happened. Our annual play date with the mommies from our church is on post at this really neat big park, which has 4 different play grounds, and all but one are covered. Down here in the dessert if the park isn't covered come 11 am it's just too hot for kids to even go down a slide. It also has a splash park/wading pool, and a tower to climb. Back to the rain...It was clearly overcast, dark clouds looming over the mountains, and some sprinkles here and there. About a half hour after arriving we heard a few low rumbles of thunder and down it came! So much for bringing my towel and wiping all the slides down (sarcasm). The kids and moms were all hidden under some of the slides because the rain seemed to be coming in every direction. While we sat on our blankets the kids had their snacks and we got to see a few airplanes take off. The park is so close to the airport you can't even hear the person talking next to you when a plane takes off. Its fun to watch and has yet to be annoying. So Isabelle had a chance to jump in puddles and get her pants soaking wet as she went down the slides. On the way home she sat in a tank top and a blanket. That's it! He he! No unders, no socks, she loved it! Wish I could have gotten some pics, of course I forgot my camera. Here are some photos of the girls these past weeks.

Tomorrow's Friday! Yay..2 weeks to go
