I'm not ashamed to admit that in writing this from the comfort of the car, which is parked in the garage. I just dropped McKenna off at dance, drove home, and discovered this...
Greaaat....a sleeping three year old at 6:40pm. What do you do with that? Eleven years and three kids later, I have no clue. So I decided to chill in the garage until it's time to go back to get the girls. Then I'll decide.
Today was a big day at our house. For me especially. While mindlessly browsing emails and watching Big Hero 6, I discovered an email from Drexel that contained my admission decision. It took me a few minutes before I could open it. I wasn't expecting to hear from them until May or June. I was confident that I would be accepted but for a moment or two I had to prepare myself in the event that I didn't get in. 
I am equal parts excited and nervous. It's been a long time since I was writing papers and taking tests. But the opportunity is huge and I know I'm meant to do this.
Other things I was meant to do is cut my hair!
For the past year or so I've very much wanted to grow my hair out. I even did it...well, it was long for me. But it wasn't me. These curls were meant for a short style and so yesterday I went back to my favorite cut. I feel like myself again and I believe I'm over the long hair phase.
Enough about me! 
Kinley has been acquiring many new skills lately. This week we've been working on using scissors. I love her little open mouth and the concentration on her face. She must have cut 10
Pages of paper into strips by the time we were done. She is able to trace
most letters using correct technique and can almost write her name. 
Yesterday it was nice enough to take the babies for a walk. The sun felt so good. After we met the big kids at the bus, Cooper and Kinley donned their snow gear and spent over an hour in the snow. We are all definitely looking forward to more time outdoors in the near future. 
My most recent picture of Cooper, snuggling with Kinley while they watch a movie. He filled his sticker chart at school this week and chose show and tell for his reward. He packed a bag with a football, basketball and his pressed penny collection. What an assortment. He's most excited to be sleeping over at Mimi and Pappy's this weekend.
And this girl, she somehow eludes my camera these days. She is so busy with friends and activities and just being an all around good girl. I'm so lucky to be her mom and most days I wish I could be more like her.
Wow! I didn't realize that I had so much to say. I guess that's what happens when I have more than five minutes to put a thought together! Happy Weekend!
