molly is still completely in to spiderman, batman, ben ten alien force and any other boy-like tv show. she regularly pretends to be ben or peter parker....which means, by default, i must be grandpa, mom or mj (that's mary-jane for those of you who don't know who peter parker loves). she generally talks constantly, especially when we are in the car. she is doing very well in pre-school. she had her program a week or so ago and was a super-star. no tears or drama, which was great. she did a good job and she's a very good singer. and lately she says that she plans to be a singer so she could have songs that play on the radio. and sometimes she makes up songs and they, without question, always make me smile......she ALWAYS sings about God and how He loves us, and never quits loving us...and how Jesus died to save us. so simple, but brings tears to my eyes. i love that she sings that - and i love that it's completely true. i love her.
adie.....is a complete terror. she likes being in trouble and she thinks it's funny when i'm stern with her. i'm not sure what i'll do with her. she may possibly live in time-out or have a forever red bottom from being spanked all day long. she normally wears me out most days. she is very cute though, and i'm quite certain this girl will never ever have self-image issues. she likes scaring jack (our dog, for those of you who may not know....like anyone reads this!) and gets in trouble for that at least 3 times a day. she'll find the broom or a push-toy and run at him with it and then laugh hysterically. again, i'm not sure what i'm going to do with her. i haven't figured out what discipline tactic works best....any suggestions would for sure be welcomed. she is very funny as well.....she just now said, "shake your booty" for no real reason at all. a funny story that may be too much information: i got out of the shower the other day and was walking to get my undies on and she says, "mommy booty shakin". great. like i need her to tell me my booty shakes when i walk. grrrrr. and now anytime i am changing clothes and she catches me, she likes to remind me...."mommy booty shakin". yay.
dustin......is the best ever. he is so funny and he loves me so very much and it makes me feel so good to know that. i know that i'm important to him and that the girls are important to him. i love him and i will forever.
me....well, the biggest thing with me is that volleyball is over, so i'm feeling much less overwhelmed with my job and it's SO very nice to have nights and weekends free. my volleyball girls were 4th in the region, but won the "team christian character award" which i was very proud of. i really am enjoying my job as AD at jbc.....i'm getting used to all my responsibilities and i know that it will just get easier with time. i'm really looking forward to the holidays. thanksgiving at our house again this year, which i always love. can't wait to see everyone. and then christmas will probably be a blast. i already got molly a ben ten alien force watch thing....she'll go nuts. so fun.
well.....i need to get the girls in the tub. i'll try to post more regularly for those of you who care.

i totally understand your frustration. I had my difficult kid 1st and i am just now 'enjoying' him and he just turned 5. All the advise i have is that it is just a chapter and it will soon end, so try all you can to enjoy it and just laugh with her (so you wont cry). Thanks for the update. I like hearing how people are doing!
I'm so glad you updated! I love hearing about your sweet family just as much as I love seeing you every week! :)
i care! i care!
