HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY LAUREN KYLIE & OLIVIA GRACE!

Another year older....for the girls that is. They turned 4 today and it was one of those days where I didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Don't get me wrong, I am happy they are growing up, I'm not a big fan of the baby stage, or the toddler stage, but soon they'll be going off to school and then they get a sassier mouth on them, and then they become pre-teens, then teens (Lord help us), and finally they are out of the house....hmmm, that about sums it up.

These last 4 years have flown by. I can remember the day I found out I was pregnant, then we found out we were having twins, the pregnancy was HORRIBLE, and then they finally arrived. It all seemed like a month or so ago. Now they're 4 and sassier and naughtier than ever (well, not today, but you get the idea).

Lauren is still my space cadet. She loves being a free spirit and practices very hard on ignoring her parents...she's actually pretty darn good at it too. She's very quick witted. She says the funniest things and doesn't even think about what she's saying half the time, it just comes out. She's also a couch potato, LOVES tv and movies! Although she's the type that watches a little bit, talks a LOT, plays a little, and then repeats the process over again. She can't sit still for long, it's like she gets bored and needs to hear herself talk. I here "momma" about 500 times a day from her, I've recently thought about changing my name because of her. She LOVES dressing up like a princess and loves pretending she's a mom, a dog, a cat, a baby, and even a daddy sometimes.

Olivia (OG) on the other hand is my cuddle bug. She loves her back rubbed, her back scratched, and loves to be held. She loves to share her stuff with other people, she's very sweet. She loves to do crafts and actually sits there and works very hard on her pictures or whatever she's making. Her latest thing is writing her name. She can write it forward and backward (not sure what that means, but she can do it). She loves picking flowers, coloring pictures, and dressing up in dress up clothes. She would love someone to read to her all day long. Reading books are one of her favorite things to do. She also loves riding her bike, ice skating, and swimming.

They are both fun loving little girls. They recently in the last couple months started sleeping together again in the same bed. The last few days they've been sick and while being sick they're not sleeping the best. Unfortunately they keep waking each other up. Last night was one of the worst nights, so I tried moving Lauren back into her bed. Neither one of them wanted to partake in that. OG screamed bloody-murder, to the point I thought she was in SO much pain (being sick and all) I thought about taking her to the ER. Turns out, after I asked her what hurt she said, "I want to sleep with Lauren." So Lauren moved back to OG's bed and they fell fast asleep (for awhile before the next wake up). They really do have a close bond and it's fun seeing them together. They sure do love each other and we love them so much!

Today we spent the day together, even though Ally was at school, we still had a fun day. First thing this morning they opened their presents before Ally got on the bus for school. Then around 11:00 we went to the movies, we saw Despicable Me. After the movie we came home to relax a little bit (since the girls have been sick for 4 days straight). We did play outside for a little bit before Ally got home from school. Then Ally and I ate some dinner (the girls didn't want anything), Jerry went to school, and I took the girls to the Children's Museum. We all had fun, too bad the girls weren't feeling that great. The saddest part is, they didn't even want cake!
