Help!

First of all these two pictures are totally true to their personalities. I call this one, Vampire Bid, because McKenzie's nickname is Biddy. The other one I named Hello Kitty Hailey. She was wearing head to toe Hello Kitty that day.
So we moved right after Christmas, which I blogged about already, but since then Hailey hates school and church and anything else that doesn't involve me or her dad. We left her in the same school as to not disrupt her life too much, but ever since Christmas break and the move, she cries all the time while getting ready for school and after she gets there. I am now volunteering in her classroom like 4 days a week to lessen some of the tears, but she is still hating school. What is the deal??? What can I do??? I tried putting a small picture of our family in her pocket and we all kissed it and put all our love inside, and I put it in her pocket so if she misses me or feels like she wants to cry, she can open it up and see us. It worked a tiny bit, but the problem is still very much there. I need help, suggestions, anything. I don't want to homeschool this kid!

I've Got Nothin'

So I don't have much to report to the world who reads the Petersen Blog, we moved, again. I don't want to talk about it. We did this right after we cleaned up wrapping paper on Christmas morning practically, so I have no idea what happened to the last few weeks, they are an udder and total blur! I have less than 7 weeks to go before I have another little girl around here! I can't believe it. Here are just a few pics from the last two weeks or so, one I took walking behind the girls at the mall. They just looked so cute in their matching Hello Kitty Jackets.

Christmas with the Petersen's!

We had a wonderful Christmas. It was rushed and at times a bit hectic. With both of us working, we were wrapping until 2 am on Christmas Eve, but hey, we were together and watching The Christmas Story on a loop, so it was all good. Here are some Hi-lights!

The Ballet at School

So today was Hailey's Winter Show. Her class sang some songs and the girls were all in a ballet. It was pretty darn cute. These pictures are all from my blackberry, so they aren't great. I didn't bring the nice camera of course because I was too busy taking video for Shon because he was at work! She did wonderful and looked adorable, of course!

The Christmas Tree is up . . .

So I always tell people that I long for the day when our kids are old enough to leave home alone and babysit one another. McKenzie asks to stay home alone all the time while I pick Hailey up from school and promises not to get scared. I obviously won't let her, but it's a nice thought. Well we are no where close to being able to leave them home alone yet, but last night, I was a bit spoiled and had a glimpse into the future of what it will be like to have some older children! Shon and I set up our very fake Christmas tree, and then just got out two boxes of ornaments. The girls did it all!! They opened every ornament box alone and put them on the tree alone! WE literally sat on the couch and watched. It was glorious. WE only had to add some to the top for the last 15 min. or so! Hailey was great at spreading the decor around, McKenzie needed some direction. She would put about 3 ornaments on one branch if I let her. It was wonderful, all the beauty, none of the work! Here are some pics:

Arizona Trip . . .

We packed up for a long weekend in Arizona this past Friday. Took the kids to the Grand Canyon and to the Polar Express train in Williams. It was fun and unusual to be cold! Hailey kept calling the Grand Canyon a Hole. She kept wanting to go look at the big hole and acted as our tour guide.
About to board the Polar Express in our Jammies. McKenzie getting her bell from Santa. Her face after he walked away, was priceless. . .

An add on to my previous post.

So here it is at 6 months exactly, with my little shadow, who just told me she doesn't love the new baby, by the way. Hailey loves to feel my tummy jump around, so at least one of my children won't try to smother this new little life!
