3 in 10 days....when did this happen?

I can't believe my kids will be 3 very soon!  That means only 2 more years to Pre-K, and 3 mores years until Kindergarten (and me going back to work :-( )  When did they decide to grow up??  Don't get me wrong...I am VERY happy we are out of the baby stage (not my favorite!).  They are starting to get really funny!!

This morning we had to run some errands and they were so good at an appt I let them pick out one of those very big suckers that you can get from the store for 50 cents.  Keegan was in Heaven.  He loves suckers!  So we get in the car and Ashton had already opened his sucker even though I told him not too. Keegan wanted me to open his sucker for him and since Ashton already chowing down on his I decided it was only fair to open Keegans.  Presley wanted to wait to get home to eat hers.  Once we got home and got out of the van Presley and Ashton noticed Keegans big blue ring around his mouth.  "You have a blue face Keegan!"   Keegan just laughed.  I made them eat their giant suckers in the kitchen so stickiness would not spread through house.  They started playing games in the kitchen.  First pretending to take pictures of each other "One more, okay Presley" Keegan would say.  Another game was huddling up and putting their hands in the middle and saying "Special!" and throwing their hands up.  Then proceeding to jump around screaming.  "Ashton made me sad.  He called me a tooty boy" Keegan came running to me saying.  Ashton in the background "Keegan's a tooty boy, Presleys a tooty girl, Mercy's a tooty dog!"

This is a short 10 minute look into my life.  It is messy, sweet, funny, sad, frustrating, joyful, and probably every emotion you can think of at some point.

Presley is really into Princess stuff and Barbies.  She is the best one at sleeping in her bed at night...which is like 1-3 times a week.  She thinks she is the most beautiful princess ever.  She talks ... alot and can be very bossy.  Today I called her into the kitchen because she didn't put her plate up and she came in saying " Yes? What can I do for you?"  She loves to dance and twirl around and demands to be put in skirts or dresses.  The more sparkly the better.  I just started the kids in tumbling at the YMCA and Presley loves it!  Especially the trampoline part.

Keegan still LOVES Yo Gabba Gabba especially Brobee (Grobee in his mind) and Cars.  He can easily go play by himself and keep himself entertained for a long time.  But he also plays with his sibling well although he can be very sensative.  He gets his feelings hurt easily and instead of telling his brother or sister what they did to hurt him he comes running to me "They made me sad!".  He is also very observant!  He went to Aunt Momos house the other day and walked around pointed out every little thing that was different.

Ashton really loves Pirates (Jake and the Neverland Pirates to be exact) and he is all boy.  He loves to run, jump, tackle, push, scream, and get dirty.  He is also a mockingbird.  Now at the basketball games he repeats (screaming) what the fans yell. Its very entertaining.  He also has a girlfriend (in his mind) who is a senior on bball team.  He wakes up on game days and says "I get to see Addi today?"  While Ashton is all boy he also loves to get Presleys pom poms and run around the house shaking them screaming "GO TEAM! GO  BULLDOGS!"
