The girls were 4 in 2 days.

My little girls had grown up so fast and weren't stopping any time soon. We were planning their 5th birthday party today. They were starting kindergarten this year in about 3 months!

We decided to start them early so they would be younger then everyone else in each grade but they'll have each other! Josh and I both agree that 4 is going to be our favorite age. They're talking now, not to mention beautiful, and their personalities have developed too.

Lily's still the quiet one and Georgia is as spunky and quirky as possible.

Speak of the Devils, the girls came running into the room screaming and laughing.

"Momma!" Georgia came and lunged into my lap.

"Hey Pumpkin!" I wrapped my arms around her, "Lils! Come here silly!"

I motioned for Lily to join Georgia and I on the couch. Josh was out getting groceries and I was the babysitter. They snuggled up into my sides and I wrapped my arms around them both.

"So girlies what do you wanna watch?" I asked.

"FROZEN!!!" Georgia screamed bloody murder.

I laughed and tickled her neck, that movie was like 5 years old!

"Lily? What do you think?" I turned towards her.

"Fro-fro-fro-fro-fro-fro-frozen!!!" She bounced up and down.

"Your both so weird!" I laughed.

I grabbed the remote and turned on Frozen. I leaned back onto the couch and slowly drifted off to sleep.

I woke up to the girls yelling at me.

"MOMMA THE PHONES RINGING!" They screamed.

I rubbed my eyes and sat up on the couch.

"Okay guys I get it," I chucked.

I looked into the kitchen and checked the time, Josh had been gone for 2 hours! That man I call my husband was probably planning some evil scheme behind my back.

I laughed and grabbed my phone. A random number.

"Hello is this Colleen Evans?" They asked.

"This is she!" I replied.

"This is the Los Angeles County Hospital. Your husbands had an accident,"

"O-o-okay, I'll be right there," I stuttered and dropped my phone back on the counter.

"Girls! Get in the car and get a toy! We're going to Daddy!"
