We made plans to be unbreakable..

You get a cookie if you can guess the song the title is from. 

It's a favorite of mine, and kind of expresses how I feel about life.  

"We made plans to be unbreakable, 
Love was all we knew.
No insurance for the unthinkable, 
Blindly get us through." 

This life of ours, especially being a military  type of life, we never know what's going to happen or where we will go next. 

Making a new start in a new place can be challenging, frustrating, scary, exciting, over-whelming. And we get to do it repeatedly. I don't know exactly how long we will be here in Florida, but I know that just when I will start to feel comfortable, it'll be time to leave. 

I'm loving the warm weather, and the beaches. Hating the sand that is now showing up everywhere, in my car, my shoes, sometimes in my hair! 

The kids are keeping me busy, and moments of frustration, insanity, feeling down on myself. 

But I also have moments of overwhelming love, joy, and laughter. 

Callie stole my apple I was eating yesterday. Today she stole my cojack cheese stick. 

Wilson is back to loving Thomas the Train again. His angry birds obsession is going down. 

Summer is just around the corner. I can't wait for some warm beach days! 

Actually if the weather would just stay normal, we could have beach days already! But living this close to the gulf, rain comes in fast.

What do you do when your 2 year old won't eat?

I don't know what we did wrong, but our kids eat like birds. Callie used to eat really well, and now it's a struggle getting her to eat a decent amount. 
I see my friends with their kids just gobble everything down. (I'm starting to suspect starving them. Just kidding.) While I sit here trying to entice my kids to eat. So last night, it was not looking good. Callie was telling me she was too busy to eat. So what's a mom to do? 

Sit her in my lap and take selfies of her eating! And it worked! Also big brother got in the action, and he was genuinely making me laugh, because he decided to start tickling me... On my boob.
