What We've Been Doing....


Lots! This month at Sea World every weekend they have free Trick-or-Treating in the park. We are NOT Halloween fans but Sea World does it cute and right. You get a bag upon entry and set up all through the park are different stations with candy sponsors and even free "game' cards...in addition to dressed-up Sea characters who are not evil or sinister in any way. The girls have a blast and come out all 'sugary' to boot!

We're also making a special effort to do more one-on-one with each girl. This week it was Leni. She's got a quiter, sweeter temperament than the other two at this point in time. To put it in plain english...Kristin and her sidekick are LOUD and get LOUDER when they want something. Their wishes are made LOUD AND DEMANDING (which we're working on:)) and VERY CLEAR. Get my point? Leni is very patient, loving and good at waiting her turn....and can get lost in the 'hoopla' if we're not careful. We don't want to miss a minute developing and cultivating this sweet spirit... So...this mom took her out on Friday night for a 'date' to the dollar store and some special time with just her. She talked my ears off!! :)Yackety-Yack! Then today at Sea World she got to pick the first ride. Her pick?? Journey to Atlantis. Her fav candy?? Hmmmm....anything but Twizzlers. None of them like those. Dad won all 3 an animal with the free game cards they got. Leni won a Clydesdale horse she promptly named 'Sparkle'....Kristin got a Walrus with BIG TEETH as she just lost another tooth last night (OH!!!!The drama...Julie pulled tooth and it was traumatic for both!!) and Katie got a Sea Otter. Yea for Daddy the game king!

We Love You Leni!! And..what we're seeing in your sensitive, special heart!!
