It's a gloomy, rainy afternoon suddenly and I can hear thunder in the distance. Cory just called to warn me that storms are headed my way. Both kids are napping right now, so hopefully I won't have to interrupt their naps to take them to a safer place.

I think the three of us have been out of sorts most of the day. None of us are in very good moods, and we're all just grating against each other. Hopefully napping will improve things! I'm just not sure what is wrong with Accalia. She's been complaining a lot today. And Cole continues his restless nights of sleep. I'm beginning to think he's headed for another huge developmental milestone - probably walking. Today he was hanging onto the edge of the tub and let go and was balancing for a split second before I scooped him up.

Today we ran a couple errands - post office, grocery store, Wal-Mart. It's definitely a challenge to get out of the house and go anywhere. Today Accalia seemed fairly eager, but more often than not she just wants to stay at home. She seems more eager to get involved in kids' activities now, though, so that's why she's so excited about dance class next month. Cole, on the other hand, gets cranky if we're at home for too long. He starts bouncing up and done and screeching happily when I grab my keys. Ah, the challenges of two distinctly different children :)
