Going for a ride

This evening around 7pm, I decided to take the kids for a 'drive' to get them to fall asleep.  After spinning around town a few times, P asked me, 'mommy, do you know where you are going?' I told him that 'yes I did' and he asked, 'then why are you driving in circles!?!'  Needless to say, we are home now and they are still not asleep!

My night - a must read

2am my old Shepard wakes me up because she has to pee. I am standing outside with the porch light shining when suddenly, the light goes off!!! Walk inside to find my two year old standing on a chair laughing!! Really Lia?? Then my 5 year old woke up and asked me to heat him up Chinese food....NOOOO! It's TWO in the morning!! Then here comes our pit mix rounding the corner with low grumbles wanting to go out....welcome to my life!! Love it!!

Shark

I took a two minute shower this morning....I am entitled to that, right? WRONG!! I step out of the shower to my youngest telling me she is very wet and I need to change her clothes. I need to teach her the word 'soaking wet' because she was drenched. I asked her how she got so wet and she said because of the water cooler.
.......let's just say 5 gallons of fresh spring water is a lot of frickin' water!!
The other two 'culprits' came around the corner and I asked them so calmly (NOT) what in the heck happened!!
The answer to my question...
'we were playing shark and needed water!!'
Don't ask unless you want to hear the answer.

Secret Decoder Ring

My 5 year, P, has decoded my words and is sharing his wealth of knowledge with his sisters...

My 3 year, A, old asked for something and I said, 'I just don't care!' I heard my 5 year old explain that when I say 'I just don't care - I really are a lot!!'

A message from my daddy

Yesterday we got some really good news and of course it turned into a 'cry fest' because I wanted to call my dad and tell him! Anyway, I got into the car and was thinking the song that was on would be a message from my dad and these lyrics blasted through the speakers...

The sky is clearing and the night

Has cried enough
The sun, he come, the world
to soften up
Rejoice, rejoice, we have no choice but
...To carry on
- Carry On - Crosby, Stills, Nash (and Young)

We got more good news today - just confirming our daddy is here with us even though we lost him at the beginning of this year!

A bit of the confusion I love

My (almost) two year old went poo in the bathroom today BUT missed the toilet.  I ran to get the clean-up supplies only to come back and find one of my dogs doing some cleaning up of his own.  My five year old walked into the bathroom to see what was going on and saw the dog cleaning up the poo mess and started dry heaving...And the fun continues!!!

Fun with (a bit of) Color
