Trying something new

I've been trying to find a better way to "blog" because I want to record a better family history. I was looking for an app that could somehow tie together a daily journal and picture. Then I realized that's basically blogging. So here I am in the blogger app giving it a try!  Since most of the pictures I take are just on my phone, the quality won't be that great but I figure it's better than nothing and I'll be glad I documented what we were up to. This will be a good way to do something with all the pictures on my phone and keep a journal along with it. 

Andrew has been out of town sooooo much lately. In April he was gone 17 nights! (Which means we probably had fast food about 17 times.) I'm beginning to go a little crazy! And the poor girls are probably feeling it too! Freddie and Amy drove up last week to see us during their spring break. It was fun to have them here for a few days and really nice to have some help. 

Here are a couple of pictures of what we've been up to this week. 

Breakfast time ....

Discovery Place (We get in free with our Children's museum pass. We took Freddie and Amy with us last week and had such a fun time that we went back again on Monday. We also watched Turtle Tale 2 in 3D and a penguin documentary in 3D. They were just 15 minutes each so it was doable for all the girls.  And I even enjoyed them :) ...

Water table ...

Taking a break for some lunch (ie granola bars, chips, applesauce pouch, and water fountain) ...

Molly Playing/building with some fun magnets ...

Penelope Building a car to race (She was getting a little frustrated they didn't have all the right parts to make it exactly like the picture) ...

Headed to church- Andrew was out of town that's why I'm making a silly anxious to tackle church alone face ;)  ...

It was ward conference and the stake president wanted the ward mission leader to speak (aka Andrew) but luckily for Andrew and unluckily for me he'd be out of town.  And also unluckily for me I had a training meeting with stake YW pres after church that lasted way too long.  Eleanor and Penelope entertained themselves just fine but Molly was a pretty big mess.  While I'm at it I should probably document the anatomy of a typical Sunday these days. We have 1 o'clock church, but Andrew leaves around 10 for meetings.  I try and put Molly down for an early nap around 11 and cross my fingers she actually falls asleep. Then around 12:30 I have the girls load up in the car and I wake Molly up, throw some clothes on her, buckle her up with a sippy cup of milk and some semblance of a lunch that fits in a ziploc baggy and we're off to join Andrew at church. Not quite sure that really qualifies as a day of rest. 

Molly has loved playing the piano ever since Amy (aka Mimi) was here. She heads to the piano and says "Mimi". It's so cute. She really loves Amy!

And that's about it. I guess I'll go ahead and post this and see how it goes. Pretty easy so far. I really hope it works. I want to be better at recording little moments. Seems that the days are just speeding by and I am forgetting all the special times we have together. Even though sometimes it seems a little crazy I really love my girls and I'm so glad I have them by my side basically all the time! 

I'll record everyday stuff from iPhone pics while on my phone/iPad and for bigger events or when I get out a real camera I'll make separate posts for those using the computer. Ciao for now :)
