How You Doin'?<\/p><\/div>\n

I have no idea where the time has gone. \u00a0It’s like cash in Kevin’s wallet. \u00a0One minute it’s there, the next it’s gone and all that is left is a bunch of crumpled food wrappers strewn about. \u00a0We’ve just whittled it away I suppose doing “the usual”. \u00a0 For Kulia, “the usual” is a bowl of snacks with a bottom layer of goldfish cracker, then Cheezits, and topped with pretzels. \u00a0This layer order is of paramount importance. \u00a0Should you offer her a bowl with Cheezits on the bottom, she will shake her head sadly and look at with such loss of respect that you will hurry back to the kitchen to right the terrible wrong you have brought unto the world. \u00a0For Leina, “the usual” involves Kidz Bop blasting on the stereo, elaborate dance routines, and a dog jumping along and barking her head off. \u00a0For Kevin, “the usual” is coming home after a long day of work to nap on the sofa while snuggling Kulia who is eating her snack and watching Leina and the dog go crazy. \u00a0For me, “the usual” consists of soul draining amount of dishes, laundry, and tidying up all while being forced to listen to Kidz Bop and a manically barking dog. \u00a0Yup. \u00a0That about sums up our life right now. \u00a0Just good crazy fun.<\/p>\n

Of course, there have been a few memorable events. \u00a0Leina entered year 2 of Daisy Scouts. \u00a0She remembered all the words to her Scout Promise at her ceremony and has another pin for her vest. \u00a0She loves it. \u00a0And I even survived being Cookie Mom this year. \u00a0Phew.<\/p>\n

I'm A Little Daisy<\/p><\/div>\n

And we have a new addition to our family. \u00a0No, not another kid. \u00a0Don’t even joke about that. \u00a0 No, thanks to some very generous valentine cash, the girls finally saved enough to get a hamster. \u00a0Yup. \u00a0That’s right. \u00a0Yet another thing for me to clean. \u00a0Actually, he is very cute and tiny. \u00a0His name is Diamond and he sleeps all day and runs like a maniac all night on his little hamster wheel. \u00a0Leina loves to set up elaborate Lego mazes in our bathtub for him to run through. \u00a0So far, she has remembered to close the drain before setting him free. \u00a0He seems to enjoy himself so I figure it’s probably ok. \u00a0I can’t get over how tiny he is! \u00a0Even more amazing is the fact that the hamster cost $10.00 and everything else cost $90.00. \u00a0What?!?!?<\/p>\n

So, I think that’s everything of note. \u00a0So long February! \u00a0I feel I hardly knew you at all!<\/p>\n
