Good grief… I planned to blog a lot more but I’m already falling behind in 2012. At least I’m going to get another post in before the beginning of February. I’m sure only a handful of people read this blog now since I changed my privacy settings so not many people have noticed I’m sure!

This past month has been interesting. It’s almost like Lola knew she was getting ready to turn 3 and she started into her ‘terrible 3’s’ a few weeks early. She has been a bit of a handful for the past year or so now, but she seems to be testing us more and more each day. We think that transitioning rooms at school could be making it worse. She has been transitioning from the 2-3 year old room to the 3-4 year old room. She loves her teachers in the 2-3 year old room so that has been hard for her. She misses them and talks about them all the time. Fortunately she can still see them a couple times per day since they are in the room directly next to her new preschool room. I guess we will see how the next month goes.

Here are some pictures from her 3rd birthday party. We had a puppet party at a local puppet studio on the 21st, and then her friend Julia came over on the 24th which is their actual birthday. It’s still crazy to think they were both born on the same day!



Knuffle Bunny cake!  This is the second year she has requested
Knuffle on a cake.  I made the cake this year - strawberry with
strawberry cream cheese filling and buttercream frosting. 



They had an adorable birthday throne at the
Puppet Studio! 

We took 8 different pictures and we never got one where
both girls were looking at the camera! 



The puppet show!  Old McDonald's Rhyming Ranch



Everybody watching the show

Love the bling necklace!

Cake overload! 

Yum!

Holidays and such

I’m trying to get better about blogging. I’ve also decided to make this blog private so only people I know/approve can read it. Actually, I think I am going to change the settings so that only others who blog can read it. This means there are probably only going to be a couple of people who read and I’m fine with that…I kind of want this to be more of a journal anyway, and there are a lot of times I hesitate to say things I’m thinking because I’m not sure who is reading it.

Anywho, the Christmas holiday was good! There were a few times where everybody was either on their phone (playing games) or on their computer and it irritated me. I posted one picture to Facebook on Christmas Eve (but didn’t actually check facebook), and then put my phone down for 2.5 days. Can’t we all just sit around and talk or play games instead of putting our faces in our phones and computers? Argggg. And my husband downloaded a new game on his phone which he played the whole time. And he had a cold so he wasn’t feeling great either. I can’t really talk because I was sick for our wedding and honeymoon – you obviously can’t plan sickness around holidays and events!

2012!

Happy 2012!  I hope to get better about blogging.  It wasn’t one of my New Year’s Resolutions though…I have several that I hope to stick to!   I will write more later, I just wanted to get a post in for 2012.
