Saturday Morning Ramblings

   It has been another busy,busy week.Trying to keep up with everything that is going on around me lol.
   Daisy's big dance performance is coming up next month,so we are trying to keep up with class and practicing at home,She also started attending a children's Bible group once a week,she LOVES it!This week they learned a bible verse,played games,had a snack,colored pictures and planted an Iris for her to bring home and water through the winter.She was soooo excited!
   Lilly has been doing a little better,things seem to be mellowing out for the moment,she has her BIG appointment with an Autism Specialist the beginning of November,so we are looking forward to that,with both excitement and fear.I know no diagnosis will change my daughter or how I feel about her,however knowing the different diagnosis (es) would be beneficial in terms of therapy and possibly future medications.
   We pretty much skipped fall here and went right into winter,several weeks ago we got 4 inches of snow,it didnt last long before it melter but it was fun while it lasted lol
   I have gotten back into the "I hate leaving my house" mode again so I have been getting alot accomplished.I have sewed 5 sweater dresses in the past week for the girls,so they are really excited about them and wear them constantly.I have alot of issues keeping clothes on Lilly especially but with these dresses BOTH girls stay dressed ALL day which is a HUGE accomplishment in my house!
   My computer still will not let me post pictures from my camera which is a huge pain in hte tush,so I have been trying to upload all pictures from my phone but its a pain too lol so Im really sorry about no pictures today,maybe later!
   Hope you all have a blessed weekend!
