Our weekend

It is getting to be dinner time on Sunday, and I'm realizing another weekend has passed, and we're getting closer and closer to the start of the school year. Not only will Josh and I be heading back, but Ellie will be starting preschool this year. Wow...where has the time gone?
We've gotten her school supplies and a few new outfits. I now realize why we weren't able to wear our school clothes until it was time to actually go to school. I think I've scrubbed out more ketchup and pudding stains in the last week than I have in my entire life.
Josh had his final 10Sped class of the year in Stevens Point this weekend. The girls were in prime form while he was gone...whining, crying, not listening...all that great stuff. I'm pretty sure Jaymeson is getting teeth because I've heard her cry more in the last week than I've heard in the first seven months of her life.
Ellie is getting into the terrible threes...starting to say "no" and giving us the hairy eyeball. She's redeemed herself today though, and has been helpful and easy to get along with.
Jaymeson is working on sitting up on her own. She can sit, but you have to set her up, and now she's laying on her side and pushing herself up. She's not quite strong enough yet, but it won't be long. She's also starting to lean and reach for things, which can only mean that crawling will be coming shortly...not sure how she's going to get those giant thighs moving, but we'll see.
Right now we're anxiously awaiting the arrival of our friends Jenn and Jason, who are bringing us pizza as a thank you for the lunch we took them the other day after Jason had surgery. We'll probably enjoy a little more time outside before catching up on the Olympics!
