Mary has been waking up at 4:30am a couple times a week recently. I have conflicted feelings about this. I miss not sleeping through the night, but I absolutely adore cuddling with Mary. Last night after I rocked her, I was so awake I couldn’t fall back asleep. Finally at 7 am I leaped out of bed to get a head start on the day.<\/p>\n

I raced to the market and Tony Caputo’s for produce and cheese, then headed home to pick up the girls. Abe had an Elder’s Quorum move this morning, so I took the girls to get Lydia some more school clothes and her new preschool uniform (which she has to wear every Tuesday).<\/p>\n

\"They<\/a>
They were best buddies in the car. We spent a ton of time driving around, and we talked and bonded the whole time. I sometimes tune Lydia’s talking out, but today I determined not to do that–and it was great! We had a lot of fun.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"At<\/a>
At the mall. The girls raced around and had a lot of fun together.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After that outing, we drove home, ate lunch, and took naps.<\/p>\n

When we woke up, Suzanne came over to pick the girls up for a Miner family party.<\/p>\n

\"Ichiban<\/a>
Ichiban Sushi. We love this place.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Then we bought Lydia more <\/em>clothes, because honestly, she is growing so fast and I just can’t keep up. Once we’d purchased a whole new wardrobe at Kid-to-Kid, we went grocery shopping.<\/p>\n

Suzanne dropped the girls off, and while Abe bathed them, I steam cleaned the carpet in their room. I am in love with the new cleaner! I cleaned the house for the next three hours (with the neighbors’ permission), and our floors and carpets have never looked cleaner. Once midnight was upon us, I stopped steam cleaning and just vacuumed, but still–it looks great, and I can’t wait for Monday because I can steam clean every last inch of the house that I didn’t get to today! Yippee!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
