My girls are Crazy-Awesome!

I don't even know where to begin with these silly little ladies, this week! There have been moments I am convinced my children have lost ALL common sense or really any sense at all . I believe it is in the air as I have heard from plenty of other mothers that their children have simply lost it in one form or another this week.... 

Malia got to go on a field trip to Monticello

Excited doesn't even begin to explain her emotions! When she got off the bus the day before the field trip she prepared EVERYTHING as soon as she got home, clothes, lunch, snack, travel items, relaxing station for when she got home ( since she would be exhausted from her full day). Then she asked if she could go to bed early?!?! It was over the top ridiculous and oh so precious to watch. 

So the Next morning I wake her up and she literally JUMPS out of bed looks at me and said, " Mom I'll get dressed while you go put my cereal and milk in a bowl I'll be right in" 

Wait WHAT?!?!

I shake my head as I walk in the kitchen. Ava is sitting on the counter, looks at me and says, " Mom when I have a boyfriend I need to make sure I have a back up!" It is 8am in the morning why am I having this conversation with a 6 year old?!?!

We finally get Malia to school, she jumps out of the car and starts speed walking to the buses. Finds her teacher and then her field trip buddy and I don't even get a bye :( 

I squeezed Ava's hand a little tighter and started walking away, when did my baby get so big? Then I feel this HUGE hug from behind and Malia is there with a kiss and I love you mom! And my heart melted!

Ava requested, since we had a little time before she had to be at the bus stop, that we have a mom and Ava coffee date. Well who am I to turn such a request down, so off to Starbucks we went. As we pull out of the school parking lot Ava said, "mom, let's go to the one from the good ol' days when I was in preschool" ( Last year when Ava was in preschool 1 morning a week we would stop on the way to preschool and have a "coffee" together ) So we of course headed to the Starbucks from the good ol' days.

Afterwards it was off to school and I proceeded on with my day.

Jump to the end of the day and I am sitting at the bus stop waiting for Ava to get off the bus. 

The Bus pulls up and stops,

The Doors open

and off walks STRUTS Ava singing the Star Spangled Banner at the TOP of her lungs.

I mean really what do you even do with that?!?!

After a quick snack Ava and I headed up to the school to get Malia. We find her rather quickly and head home. As we are driving away from the school I asked Malia the normal questions,

Did you have a good time? Yes

What was your favorite part? The Gift Shop! OH YAY!!!! It was AWESOME!!!!

and cue educational fail! HAHAHA

And that was part of a day with them! 

This has been quite a week with them, one of the I love them most when they are sleeping weeks, and it is only Wednesday! But they keep me laughing and they keep life interesting! So in spite of the craziness and the alcohol consumption they encourage with their behavior, I'm so thankful for my crazy little ladies!
