Or should I say, Maggie knows how to party. We spent five days with two sets of cousins at grandma's house in Sacramento last week. A total of 11 cousins for the girls to play with. Maggie was going nonstop! I hardly saw her all week, she didn't even take naps, she would just collapse from exhaustion every know and then.
What an eventful week! Thanks again grandma for letting us invade.

Carnival

Today was wet and rainy but we had a fun time at the carnival. Seeing how it is summer and all I didn't bring coats for the girls to the Orem carnival. I honestly didn't think we would stay long, and I wish I had my camera. But Maggie was so funny. We went over to the Orem carnival and she rode every single ride! The entire time she was shaking from the cold, but she didn't want to stop! Even oliva did a ride. It was fun

This crazy day

I am thankful for my skin. Today was a crazy day, my foot injury hurts, I have to change my underwear every hour because I am on my period, and I am tired of taking to toddlers. Today has been nonstop. WE went to the gym, which lasted 20 minutes because I had to change my clothes. Then we went to the provo farmers market. That was pretty fun actually. There was a park there so we spent most of our time there. It's always fun to see all the cool stuff at markets like that. I was hoping for some homespun yarn , but didn't find any. Maggie was asking to leave by the end, so we took off. And I didn't realize how tired I was.
I forgot a couple of other things I wanted to do while I was in provo. Oh well, there is only so much you can do in one day when you tote around two little ones. I never realized how much my life would change when I became a mom. I saw this video on the mormon messages website last night (at midnight cuz I couldn't sleep bc I took two excedrin for cramps and headache) It's about this lady who was in a plane crash with her husband and lived, and her spiritual journey from learning to live with her body covered in 3rd degree burns. It is inspiring to see people like that.
I certainly want to enjoy my kids more, and look into their eyes and see the light and joy and really love them and give them what they need. After all, I have all my skin, I am doing pretty good.
