Oh-my kids. For some reason Londyn has always liked to wear plastic bags as clothes, and now she's passed it on to Beanie. Aren't they so beautiful? I tried to convince Irelynd that she needed a shirt underneath her "clothes" but she said she had a shirt on.
We had a good day. Kathy came up and went to the Community Choir concert with us. It was really good-well what I heard of it. I had one of those, "I am a horrible mom" moments tonight as my kids would not sit still and would not be quiet (mostly Irelynd) and I looked down the row at my friends kids all sitting quietly and nicely listening. I just thought, "what am I doing wrong, why can't my kids be like that, why haven't I taught them better..." Ya know the feeling? Anyway, after spending the majority of the concert in the hall and Kathy telling me that they are just wiggly spirits that's all, I had a tasty sugar cookie and we drove around to see the lights and I swept my fears aside for another day of feeling less than up to this momentous task of trying to raise these kids to be all I know they can and should. Beanie said, "I sorry mommy, I love you." It was a lot later after she'd flashed me her, "I know I am being absolutely horrible right now, but I'm doing what I want to do and I'm going to keep doing it regardless of anything you have to say or do" multiple times. Good thing she is so adorable. Last night she followed Phill into the laundry room and he asked her, "what are you doing?" She responded, "daddy, I'm waiting to see if you could hold me." It was tender.
