Today is officially girls day. Tonight the boys are going on a father/son campout and it will just be us girls! We have plans...oh yes we do...well I am going to wait and see what she wants to do...I hope it involves eating out! Usually girls night consists of painting nails and watching princess movies. We never get to watch girl movies around here. Boys always take over because we are way out numbered. I love the fact that I have a girl. I don't know what I would do without her. She reminds me of the fact that I have to teach her to be a woman. Therefore...I need to be a better woman. If it was just boys around here I would probably just completely morph into a tom boy. (which is a natural inclination)
Maggie is fun to watch and I don't worry about her too much YET! She can be sweet as pie and in the next second (if someone does her wrong) she really lets them have it! She can stand up for herself...well at least with her brothers, which I hope will transfer over at some point.
I know that things will change here very quickly...she is nine now. The next few years might be bumpy. I remember things being bumpy for me. I hope they aren't bumpy for her...but they probably will be at some point. I thought babies were hard, teens are hard. It is hard to watch them go through "stuff." I just want to protect them from things that hurt them, just like I did when they were small. Teens usually have to go through it and live through it and find their way. I hate that!
Doug and Steve are having some bonding time in Washington DC. I hope they are having fun. I can't wait to see the pictures and hear the stories.
Well I have a million loads of laundry to fold...ugh! So I guess I should go and try to get that done before my great girl night out!! Whoo Hoo!

I used to LOVE father and son's campout. Me and my mom and sisters would get chinese take out and watch a chick-flick. So fun.
