A long & Expensive Date...

Today I was the unlucky beneficiary of a very exhausting and rather stinky date. I met up with the roll of paper towels, the spray cleaner, the clorox wipes, the diaper wipes, the shampooer, the shampoo, the bath tub, the bath soap, the washer and the detergent! Man was I a lucky woman or what. To spare you all the churning tummies, I held myself back on the photographs, but managed to send one to my husband (hoping for a laugh because that was all I could do!).

We took a short tour up to the airport and dropped off Grady's dad. On the way home Myles fell asleep in the car. I picked him up and put him in his bed for a nap. He usually wakes up some, but will fall back asleep with a bottle. Usually. BUT.NOT.TODAY. We listenend to him play around a bit and I kept the other three quiet hoping he'd fall back asleep. After about 20 minutes, I told them that I had a feeling he was in there naked. Macy jumped up and asked if she could check. So she did.

He had painted a beauitful picture on the wall with his fecal matter. Yes, and he was darn proud of it. I tossed him in the tub (not really, but would have loved to) and began the ever tedious scrubbing. I actually washed the paint off of the wall taking care of his art. Cleaned the carpet and am waiting for the sanitary cycle to end on the washer, but that will be a while....1 hour and 50 minutes to be exact.

So, there you have another chaotic happening in my life to laugh about. Anything funny from you all would be appreciated.....just to make sure that I'm not on a oneway trip to the looney bin.

Long Time No Post!

We've been up to total chaos here. I think that school has gotten my children used to keeping busy, and they just don't know what to do with all of this time on their hands now. Macy is constantly wanting to go play with someone, Stuart is plum happy in front of the TV, Fiona is content just snuggling up with a nice Scooby Doo movie one, and Myles has to keep taking off his diapers to keep me running the stairs.

We managed to make it downtown last Saturday for the Strawberry Festival, and enjoyed a bit of excitement while a realtor showed our house. To make a long story short, they liked it and made an offer to which we could not accept due to the closing and high comission. They came back to our open house Sunday and made another offer without the realtor involved, but we later found out that too much was at stake and had to refuse it also.

Check out that strawberry shortcake!

Later we played down the street with a girl that Macy has become quite attached to. She's way older and has a friend that just about lives there, so it has been a tough couple of days for the girls.....oh, the memories of 5th grade are coming back. Ughhhh....I don't want to parent through that yet!

Fiona was afraid of the slide, so Daddy filled the pool for her. She did not want me to take her picture.

It was a blast for them and kept them busy for a long while.
