An evening stroll at the park...

So I've mentioned before how I don't like this town. I'm glad we are renting because I am honestly not sure I could live here and raise a family here. Don't get me wrong parts of it are beautiful, like the park. We went there yesterday and took a really nice walk around the pond and went to the kids section and let Cayleigh play. There are cherry trees blooming, ducks quacking, the sun shining off the water. Sounds serene almost right? HA! If you can get by the people smoking everywhere, letting their kids run like crazy and the parents too busy on their cell phone. Then there was the lady who was screaming, not yelling, but screaming at her kid, and when we merely glanced over to make sure everything was ok, she screamed at us to stop staring! Sigh. We did manage to have a nice time, but people just never cease to amaze me.

Sorry if this post sounds whiny, but if you live here, you get it.

HA HA! You should just start wearing ear plugs to the park. Maybe try a park over on the north side of town.<---that sounds terrible. You crack me up!

Cayleigh looks adorable in her hat!!

Honestly, I really should! Like you said, Cayleigh wants those darn ducks, and it's the ONLY reason I go there!

LOL - That really does sounds like a perfect example of Hagerstown - especially the South end of Hagerstown.

I wish I could think of another place in Htown that has ducks =(

I know I'm commenting twice on the same post, BUT I have to point out that I don't notice the...ummm...interesting...people many places other than that specific park. Sure, I run into idiots, but not more than in any other town I've lived in. But that park is the exception. They seem to gravitate there, LOL! Ok, I'm done.

Day 2 of the snow....

Image
Today we got a batch of ice which so nicely laid over our 2-3 inches of snow. Luckily, I was off and didn't have to call in! Matt went to work a couple hours late so I made a big breakfast with eggs, bacon, homefries, toast, and orange slices! We played and watched a good bit of TV, I'm not proud to say, but with Matt fighting a cold, and me with a headache again, I decided to make it a low key day and she was thrilled! After her morning nap and lunch, "we" decided to surprise daddy with some cookies. I let her watch me and she helped stir and lick the beater. Yes, there were raw eggs, and no, I don't think it will kill her. Our finished product! I might add this was my best batch of cookies EVER! Playing with her pics.... I should add there will be no post tomorrow, because I am going with Pam and her family to the Dancing with the Stars show(the tour, not the actual show). I am SO excited!!!! It will actually be my first night away from Cayleigh ever, which make...

10 is...

I decided to pop back into my blog and reminisce, and boy is it sad. All of my pictures are gone, thanks to a company wanting $400 to publish them. At least I have my words...On that note, I thought I'd write a bit of what 10 looks like: -Eating a bowl of cereal and a pop tart EVERY morning -Really starting to cooking unassisted. She made a 2 layer cake this week and thanks to a 2 hour delay I got pancakes. Teaching her to cook has been pretty cool.  -Begging me for a cup of coffee because she wants to be grown up. I let her have 1/2 a cup here and there-they say it stunts your growth. I say she is 5 foot 2 inches now so that's a lie. -Texting her friends and playing computer games with them as much as she is allowed. -Watching Hallmark movies day and night with me and Marvel movies with her dad. She is well rounded. -Still loving soccer, but recognizing that sometimes coaches can take away the sparkle of it. -Being 5'1" and wearing a bigger s...

Two years ago today I was headed to the hospital ready to have my baby... At 1:02pm on August 22nd, we had our beautiful baby girl... It changed our lives forever. Cayleigh(aka-Kiwi, pee-wee, lovebug, etc) we love you so much and feel so blessed to have you as our little girl. Your sweetness and kindness is so beautiful, and your hugs and kisses mean more than you will ever know. Watching you grow and learn new things every day makes us so proud, and it remind us to slow down and look at life the way you see it.
