I always have such a hard time coming up with 7 random things to say. That's why I have not been partaking in the quick taking lately. SO today I am going to try and change that. This could be bad.

Maggie is still singing her favorite Christmas song-Jingle Bells- nonstop. It really is adorable in that it is really only adorable to Eric and I way. Anyways, I really feel the need to find her a new favorite song, because I feel that Jingle Bells will eventually have a cuteness expiration date for Eric and I.

I found Jamie's Blog this week and it was almost like looking at my life if I lived in Maryland. Ok, that is a bit extreme, but she has a 2 year old daughter named Clare and a 3 year old daughter named Maggie. KIDDING. The 3 year old is named Ava and she has a third adorable baby boy-Emeric. However, her kids are 16 months apart and just a few months older than my girls. Still Cray-Cray and I will be stalking her to find out what will happen in my future life. It's a real cliff hanger.

Clare is at that age when it is now the norm to find her stripped down to her birthday suit when she wakes up from her *cough*nap*cough*. It took me just short of 3 years to potty train Maggie and I hated every second of that. I don't think I am ready to potty train Clare, but a butt naked baby is a no-no. Do you think that if I asked my Mom to come visit she would just do it for me?

This is not something that I would normally include, but I feel the need to fill space. I took the girls to daily Mass yesterday, flying solo, and Eric's boss man was presiding. He actually told Eric that "the girls are really good in Mass" AND "Brooke does a good job with them". WHAT??!? Seriously made my week. Especially since just last week Maggie's behavior was less than brag worthy.

The weather here is amazing. Like I am showing skin other than my face!! (read: arms) It will be short-lived because Sunday and Monday it will be freezing again.

Did I really just waste a quick take on the weather. I did. Wow. I told you this would be bad.
Go see Jen for far better takes!

Always love your quick takes, Brooke! Don't stop! Yay for you taking the girls to Mass alone... they are so cute! Have a happy weekend!
That's a good idea, you should move to MD and bring Lisa back with you!
Ahhhhhhhhh I'm so excited I'm a take!!!! And I feel bad that it took me so long to even read this because I'm so behind on my blog reading because we're traveling this weekend...AND you said Cray-Cray?!?! We seriously must be twins hahaha :) I keep showing my husband your blog and all the similarities I keep finding...too funny. I think ya'll need to take a field trip up to DC some time to hang out :)
I found you through Jamie - my older kids are the same age as yours! I will say this, it was far easier potty training #2 - she pretty much decided one day that she was ready to be potty trained, so we just went pants-free for a while and she was trained in no time! Just let her lead the way :)
