One of those days!!

So my week has been pretty crazy but got even better today. Let's just create a visual..toothbrush+toilet=out of order..and I can't even blame the kids because I did it myself. I was was cleaning while flushing the toilet and bam! There goes the electric toothbrush down the hole! So much for mommy multi-tasking.Who knew that thing could even BE flushed :) Let that be a lesson learned!Guess who got to stick their hand in the toilet to try to get it out..with no luck:) Oh Mr. Roto Rooter..where are you? I sure hope my day gets better than this or I may have to just go back to bed..ha ha!Hope you all can get a giggle out of this..I actually had to laugh at this myself.

Fun Day

We had a pretty uneventful week until Sunday. Sunday Auntie Chistie came to visit and they hadn't seen her since last January. My brothers family hadn't seen Auntie Christie for about 3-4 years so there was quite an excited bunch. We had an awesome time catching up and Hailey and Ali had fun showing off their big girl skills!! When my brother first moved here I promised a picture of Frederic with my girls to show the size difference.(Remember, he's Ali's age:) ) I finally got one that is better than all the others I've taken. Auntie will be back in a few weeks so they will get to spend more time with her soon.

Too Cute

My mornings pretty much all look the same.. Make coffee..make kids breakfast...watch cartoons..then I take my chances and leave the girls downstairs for a few minutes to check my computer. They usually play in the playroom but today I left them downstairs watching cartoons. I had only been upstairs a few minutes when I realized it was waaaay to quite down there. I slowly went downstairs ready for a big bad surprise but instead this is what I found...Ali silently laying down sucking her thumb(of course) letting Hailey brush her hair!! It was so adorable I had to share with y'all....Sometimes they surprise you and actually aren't naughty...Who knew?! :-)

Grandma Mary came to visit!

The girls just love their Grandma Mary and she came out for a few days to visit from California. They were so funny because they wouldn't let me do anything for them..only grandma. I couldn't change diapers:( or get sippee cups or get snacks or anything!! Ok by me! As you can see..they had to hold only grandma's hand walking into the store..and they both wanted to sit by her at the restaurant. We really had a nice time and can't wait for the next visit..maybe next time we can go see them so we can see Pa too:-) Luv you Pa!!

Our play

So after a week of practicing and anticipating our performance...we decided to have the girls put on their play on Monday night when Bridgett came home. Little Miss Ali decided to throw a fit and I opted for an early bed time. It was that or loose my mind...I chose early bed!! Needless to say, she missed out on the play! We were short a bee but it went off without a hitch...they were so cute because they were so proud of themselves.Here is the storyline they came up with...A butterfly and bee(Ali) are flying around and get stuck in a bush.Along comes a princess(Hailey) who sees them and tries to save them but also gets stuck. Luckily for them, a kangaroo comes along and pulls them all out of the bush!! The End. Pretty creative Iwould say!!

Lots of Girls

As most of you know, I live with a roomate and she has 3 girls. Yup...there are 7 girls in our house. We are a busy house but we really enjoy the company. Its nice to see the girls playing...they learn so much..good and bad :) This week the older girls were out of school for fall break so I had the 4 older girls home with me and the baby went to daycare. It's interesting how much effort it takes for 4 little girls to make a united decision...but even more interesting to see the compromises they make within their own little world! Here's a picture of the girls sitting on the couch discussing what they are going to have for lunch...next is "all hands in the air for turkey sandwiches!" It was too cute to not capture on camera. I was trying to come up with things for them to keep entertained and saw something on tv about a talent show. I decided this would at least keep them busy trying to plan it and it has!! They decided to have a play that they oldest girl,Jayden, has written. They each have their own costumes and so we'll see how it turns out...should be cute!!
