100% chance of rain

Another rainy day in Texas left us indoors. We really had a good day. The morning whizzed by blending seamlessly into the afternoon. Normally I dread being "stuck" but the past two days with the girls have been great. We've spent a lot of time just enjoying one another and not rushing off to be anywhere. It sounds cheesy but I think I needed this time. I just needed to enjoy them and stop focusing on things that need to be done. Sure I need to do some housework, but with Mike gone I haven't stressed about it. I guess a little rain was what The doctor ordered.

Tonight I had one moment that got me. Watching Claire and Norah play together today truly melted me. I was all observer...they began building books together and they just went into their own world. They began to talk and have a true conversation. When the tower they built fell, Norah really broke down (it was nearing bedtime). Claire took the reigns and began to comfort her. Listening to her was beyond sweet. "Norah you ok? Want to build blocks? I take care of you ok?" She was so full of nature...and she is becoming such a sweet little girl. She has so much spunk yet so fearful or demure.

A funny moment today happened at dinner. I caught Claire sneaking Norah food off her plate to clear it much like a child does to the family dog. Bless her heart.


Daddy will be home tomorrow. Darn. I have to clean and cook again ;)

Norah and pudding was not a smart combination

My little beauty Claire...such a clean eater!!!

Oh yeah...that's Norah totally smearing pudding all over the table...
