A ton of HUGE events have happened in the past 2 months. Better late than never to talk about them, right?
Lets start off with the fact my baby girl turned FOUR years old! When I started this website, she was 18 months old I think. You never truly realize how fast life goes until you sit back and actually take a moment to think about it. Four years seems like a LIFEtime but when I think of Jordyn, I can remember like it was yesterday, my pregnancy with her. The good and the bad about it, it feels like a day ago she was born! Jordyn is now way too smart for her own good. The things that come out of her mouth, it's sometimes hard to believe she is 4! Oh, perfect timing on that by the way. Yesterday she said her first curse word. It was so sweet and so not intentional she just nicely said "Daddy, my fucking cup wont open". Oh yes, this is a true story. We didn't even know what to do! I asked her where she learned that? She said me. Hey, at least im admitting that!! ( Even though I swear I don't say that in front of her!! someone else does...but that's besides the point haha ). Im pretty sure she wont ever say that again!!!
She's now in school. Had her first day of VPK on August 19th! Todd and I cried like BABIES! She waved and walked in like she owned the place. But are we shocked? Im not!
We took a big trip to Disney for her 4th birthday. Grandma Jill & Aunt Cindy came along too! It was a BLAST!!! There is just something about Disney that makes us so happy. It feels like no matter what is going on in your life, in the world, at work, anything - you don't have a care in the world when you are there. Like I said before, we don't spend our money on useless stuff, we don't go on vacations just the 2 of us, we really don't to much at all - but we do go to Disney and I wouldn't trade that for the world. The look on the kids faces when we are there is priceless. Even the tantrums they throw there seem to be calming in a weird way. I know before I blink my eyes, Jordyn will be too cool to hold Todd's hand while waiting in line for Minnie Mouse, and Kole will be too interested in real girls rather than getting a sweet kiss on the forehead from Snow White. So for now, while my kids are little and innocent, I will enjoy spending all of my extra time and money at the happiest place on earth.
The next Scalici / Fowler Family overnight Disney trip is already planned! I cannot believe its almost time for A Very Merry Christmas!!! Gives me the chills. How did this YEAR go by so fast?!
Speaking of a year - it's almost a year we have been in this house!!! In just a few weeks will be the anniversary of the day we closed. I haven't been this happy in so long. I feel SO at home here, as I should, but it just feels so perfect. Of course we still have so much to do, but its a work in progress and a fun one that is!!!
Kole is in another semester of Rivertots. Man, I never met someone who can be the SWEETEST boy yet the craziest at the same time!!! The saying "He keeps me on my toes" is an understatement for this boy! He will climb, jump, eat, bang, ANYTHING!! He is PURE boy - but of course I wouldn't have it any other way.
I wish I could sit here and say everything that has happened this summer, everyday and every weekend - but I would be here for years. I can just try to promise ( again ) to be better about this!!! I just have no time!! Ughhhh. I hate to complain, and im not ( maybe I am ) but I don't have a minute, to myself, ever. Jordyn is in school now, which means drop off, pick up, lunches made, more laundry, K's activities, cleaning, cooking, and now WORKING! I started the Etsy shop for fun and to do something on the side and make a little money. I am now at 542 sales!!! ( go me ) but man its been a CHALLENGE!!! But somehow, at the end of the day, the kids are fed, happy, the house is clean ( for the most part ), hubby and myself are fed, and im alive! That's a big deal!! haha
