Finally

It rained thank goodness! Of course yesterday Paul and I decided it would be a good idea to finally break down and give the yard a little sip of water. So it got a good soak last night and a good soak this morning. Oh well. So glad it rained - hopefully it rains for awhile!

One month to go.......

Well it's gone by too fast and I just don't like it at all. My baby is turning 1 in a month. I meant to post this yesterday on her really 11 month bday but I got busy working and yelling at/wrangling the kids. It has been such a complete joy to have this baby in our lives. I'm happy and sad all at once that DaBooBoo(Paige came up with that little nickname and it's sticking) is becoming more independent and crawling, walking w/her walker and just being loud and letting us know she's here! Cant wait to see what this next month has in store for DaBooBoo!

Riley @ 11 months
She's too cute :)

Who's stupid idea was this?

14 kids at a skating party and 11 of those then come home for a birthday slumber party. I'm not sure how we got roped into but lord I've never been so ready for morning. The girls decided not to go to sleep until 7 AM!!!! Pick up time was 10ish and then I had to get them fed because who sends a kid home from a slumber party without giving them breakfast?? So pancakes, eggs, bacon and oj were the menu of the morning and all the girls looked like zombies. Paul and I took a little pleasure in waking them up since they'd kept us up ALL NIGHT - except for the little cupcake who only decided to wake-up when all those girls got quite - nice one. House is a disaster and it seems the whipping cream was brought out and somehow got squirted on our couch so there's a nice little mess for me to scrub clean. Some crying/drama went on with the girls and Paige was upset about it but I let her know that in a big bunch of girls there's always going to be drama so get used to it - it's just nature :) Glad it's over but glad we did it and lived to tell about how freaking exhausted both Paul and I are. Nap time all day!
