Terrible Twos

First off Happy Birthday Chuck! 40 years old and still looking good.
Now on to the tantrums of my almost two year old. Maggie has always done things early she rolled over early started walking early, potty trained right on time but along with all her accomplishments come the early tantrums of a two year old. This whole week her friend has been on vacation which has upset Maggie to no end. Every time we went out to do anything she would be under the impression that we would go to her friends house there fore when we arrived home she would yell and kick and say No Home. Her kicking and screaming did not stop there it also applies to not being able to get what she wants. She has discovered marshmallows and wants to eat them all the time. Oh the joy of having little ones.
As far as Cecilia and Holly they have grown out the little girl tantrums and moved on to that's not fair and she started it as well of stay out of my room, do you have to look or touch me. Having girls can be such a trail, but yet fun we outnumber dad and we do love to shop.

Cookie Craze

A cookie smack down about happened on Friday. On Friday I being the cookie mom for our troop went to the Ware house to help sort hundreds of cases of cookies. When we had sort all the troops orders for our area we noticed that some of the troops were short. We had a group huddle and the leader of the whole cookie craze told us that more were coming as soon as we knew which ones we were missing. This did not satisfy some of the cookie moms and if they were short they decided to take from others who not there. I was upset and told a mom to leave the cookie order alone that it was not right to take from people that were not here. She started yelling saying they should have been here and it was their fault if they are short because she was not going to be short on her order since she was there. I then told her that we should not punish someone for not being able to come and to leave the cookies alone and this went on for several minutes it got to the point were I wanted to B##### slap the women but instead I walked away and told on her like a three year old. Things were finally sorted out and we found the missing cookies and everyone filled their orders and cookies are being delivered this week.
In other news on Saturday I was able to escort two fifteen passenger vans down to Nauvoo to do baptisms for the dead. I was excited to finally get to go as an adult. We arrived at the temple and had all the youth get ready and I went to get my assignment I was happy to be there and do what ever they need me to do. I soon found out they needed me to be a mom. I was assigned to clean up the bathroom after the girls were done so that there wasn't water on the floor. I did my job well until the girls started to do their hair and the air was filled with way way to much hair product and i could not longer handle it and switched post with another mom. My new assignment was to wipe the stairs after each child is done being baptized. I could have stayed home and done this. It was a great experience and I will not be the first in line to help again but will help if asked.

What's going on

Most of you know that Maggie is going to be two at the end of April and like her older sisters has decided to get rid of the diaper. We have been potty training her for the last week and it is going pretty good. The first few days we had several pee accidents then she started to get the concept and has had very few pee accidents but we still are trying to figure out how to poop in the potty. You can tell our whole life right now revoles around getting Maggie to the bathroom on time.
Cecilia is working hard on her part in the school play and Holly is working on learning to spell and not ticking off her sister. Mike still has a job with Caterpillar and is working on getting projects done around the house. I am just working on keeping the family on schedule.
