Cabin Fever

Cabin fever set in hard core at the O'Connell house this week. After some nice weather over the past couple of weeks, we were treated to pretty much every kind of weather that Iowa has to offer with the exception of sunshine and mild temperatures. With very few opportunities to play outside, both girls went stir crazy. For some reason, both girls were extra tired all week as well, which as all parents know, makes life a little extra crazy.

Sadly, I don't have much exciting to write about this week so I'll give you a random list of happenings.

1. Bridget's new favorite thing to say is "Yup!" She pretty much answers every question that way. I find this a drastic improvement of being told no all of the time.
2. Abigail, along with all of the other girls in her dance class, were so tired on Wednesday that they were sitting down and refusing to dance. Her teacher made a point to tell all of the parents to get them extra sleep before next week.
3. Bridget is NOT a morning person. I have learned that it is better to make a bunch of racket prior to entering her room in hopes of her being awake when I open the door. If she is still sleeping when we go in, she acts like a teenager and pulls the covers over her head. Then she proceeds to throw a fit. 
4. Today, we met my uncle Mike and aunt Sara for lunch (along with my brother and his family) as they were passing through town. Both girls did great at lunch and as always it was great to see family.

Maybe next week I will have more things to write about.
