Life as we know it

Sometimes I think to myself, "how will I make it until dinner time...."  

It isn't one thing that makes me say that, it is perhaps a combination of a crazy morning with lots of poop, spit up, no sleep, and a tantrum prone toddler .....but we always seem to make it and have fun while we are at it.  

I know it happens to all moms that stay home, it can get lonely, feel like nothing ever gets done but I honestly would not trade it for anything.  The things I get to experience everyday with these two makes everything worth it....everything:)

You can come up with some pretty crazy ideas when you are stuck inside or close by your house.  Whit has become quite the hair dresser ever since her classroom opened up the beauty parlor in the dramatic play center.  She loves to see just how many clips she can fit into my hair and then of course it is her turn!  We even started learning some sight words.  She has quite the memory and is spotting the words have learned all over the place, makes my teacher heart so proud!

Our neighborhood is full of older girls that just think Whitney is super cute.  Im sure they dont want to come over everyday but when they do come, Whitney is in heaven.  She just loves Rachel and Averee and all the things they do together.  The girls happen to think it is really funny that Whit has to put boobs and belly buttons on all of her chalk people.  She is a hoot I tell ya:)

This month we have been busy with the homecoming parade, playing with friends, Adrian's wedding, playing dress up, learning words and writing letters, dancing, watching wreck it ralph, painting our nails, and going to kings island!  Never a dull moment!

South Haven, Michigan

We love Michigan and had such an amazing time on our family trip to South Haven this year.  The 4.5 hour drive was easy with older kiddos and totally worth it for the memories we made this year! An old high school in downtown South Haven was renovated into lofts recently and we decided to check it out.  It was such a cute place with pieces of the high school here and there for memory sake.  They had old school desks as the sinks in the bathrooms and lockers turned on their side used as planters throughout the building.  The lofts were very nice and spacious and had an indoor pool and movie theater. We had some great food this time around and even met up with some friends that were staying nearby.  The girls loved being on floats in the water, swimming in the pool and checking out downtown.  I would say the highlight of the trip was the dune ride we took on a rainy morning.  It was so much fun and had such amazing views!! Spending five uninterrupt...

Broken Bone

During quarantine Ryan and I were always saying to the girls, "be careful and don't break anything, we dont want to have to go to the ER during this crazy time...." Whit of course breaks her wrist smack dab in the middle of it all!!!  Myself, Ryan and both girls have never broken a bone -- why does it happen when we literally aren't supposed to and don't want to leave the house!?!? Whitney was riding her scooter on April 22 and the wheel got caught in a crack on a neighbors driveway, down she went catching herself with her left wrist.  She immediately screamed out, "I BROKE MY ARM!!!"  I knew it was a bad fall but everything looked okay, just a little blood and I thought this is like her other falls where she is pretty dramatic.  Fast forward and hour and she is feeling sick to her stomach and still in a whole lot of pain.  We luckily have several neighbors in the orhto field that took a look at her arm; she put it in an ice bath and they suggested t...

Fantasy Football

Football season has arrived which means all the men in our family start using "uh huh" and "mmmm hmmm" as their main vocabulary.  This is especially true on draft day when all of them gather at the Sims house for good food and lots and lots of football talk!  The girls make sure they are "seen and not heard" on this day and usually congregate far away from the madness that ensues inside.  Picture this: 15 or so guys huddled over pages and pages of spreadsheets listing every football player worth anything in the NFL, scrambling to make just the right pick, only to receive 'smack' talk from all the other guys about how that wasn't the pick they would have made.  Bret doesn't mess around and has a larger than life poster to list all the draft picks with color coordinated stickers.....Im telling you if you haven't experienced this you won't believe your eyes!!  Once the draft if over (after about two hours of the above craziness) they a...
