My girls are
growing up so fast. I can't hardly stand it.
I had a wonderful day.
These precious girls
surprised me with cards from school and
lots of hugs and kisses. The best gift of all!!
Wet Oatmeal KissesOne of these days you'll explode and shout to all the kids,
"Why don't you just grow up and act your age!"
And they will...
Or, "You guys get outside and find something to do --
without hurting each other And don't slam the door!"
And they don't.
You'll straighten their bedrooms until it's all neat and tidy,
toys displayed on the shelf, hangers in the closet, animals caged.
You'll yell, "Now I want it to stay this way!"
And it will...
You will prepare a perfect dinner with a salad that hasn't had all the olives picked out
and a cake with no finger traces in the icing and you'll say,
"Now this is a meal for company."
And you will eat it alone...
You'll yell, "I want complete privacy on the phone.
No screaming, Do you hear me?"
And no one will answer.
No more plastic tablecloths stained.
No more dandelion bouquets.
No more iron-on patches.
No more wet, knotted shoelaces, muddy boots or rubber bands for ponytails.
Imagine.... a lipstick with a point,
no babysitters for New Years Eve,
washing clothes only once a week,
no PTA meetings or
silly school plays where your child is a tree,
no car pools, blaring stereos or forgotten lunch money.
No more Christmas presents made of library paste and toothpicks,
no wet oatmeal kisses,
no more tooth fairy,
no more giggles in the dark,
scraped knees to kiss or
sticky fingers to clean.
Only a voice asking,
"Why don't you grow up?"
And the silence echoes:
"I did"

Because if you remember she was not happy with JUST a ribbon for the cartwheelathon that they participated in last December. 
Warming up for the show
Molly during her routine.
Lindy grabbed her trophy so fast it was a blur!! :)
Really she loved it!
Grandma & Daddy were able to come.
So was Mamaw, Colin, Daniel & Aunt Donna.
They are going to miss gymnastics. They both did a great job.
