Nothing but a whole lot of nothing

I haven't had a very exciting life lately. Besides the constant feel of my stomach saying...JUST THROW UP ALREADY....which I have learned to just live with. It's a part of life...hopefully not that much longer. (I really need to stop complaining about it...I'm starting to sound like a whimp!) The girls were so excited on Wednesday...they finally got their ballerina stuff. I was out that evening and came home to Hannah, who laid it oh so nicely on the foot of the bed and Madison hanging on the bed post. It cracked me up...I'm sure Hannah wanted to sleep with it on but Dan convinced her otherwise. Although he protested the whole "dancing" thing he does find it quite cute when they use our rug in the lounge as a stage, put on their leotards and shoes, and prance around on the carpet. Hannah even does this body dive....I'm not quite sure how she does it since I'm sure if I jumped onto the floor doing a belly dive, my internal organs would hurt, but for her, I guess not so much since she does it repeatedly. She can also stand on her toes (major ouch!) and it pains me as well to watch her do that.

On to other news...I have convinced Dan to try and take a few days off for the girls mid break that's in the middle of February. There is a Viking Festival he wants to hit up in York and so we figure why not spend a few days up there and do some sight seeing (I hope it's not raining and freezing). I'm excited. Dan tonight said he needed a vacation which in fact he does...the man has so many days of leave and when he does have it, we never go anywhere (well that's a ways away)! So YAY! He's starting to realize it's ok to spend money on hotels....I think he got scared the first time we went to D.C. and oh man...it was so ghetto....so ghetto....that he tries to stay away from them. Now I need to read all about York and make an itinerary since my husband likes things to be some what organized or he gets a little stressed....so not the way I was raised....but if it makes him feel better....then that means more vacations for me. The girls have another school break in April and it would be nice to go somewhere warm as a family and perhaps work on some kind of tan....I don't think my girls have been this white ever! So I'm excited...we're excited...perhaps you all are not so much....but I had to share.
