The saga cont'd

As I was finishing up my last post, I was getting ready to log onto the speech pathology website so I can do some of my continuing ed. courses. When I hear.....BANG, BANG, BANG! No voices, no crying, no screaming, just metal on metal. Great, the girls are out of their beds at nap time and they decided to do some cooking. They would never have gotten caught if they wouldn't have used their metal pans. I eventually went upstairs to find both of their new big girl beds COVERED in their play food and every pan/dish that was in the drawer. I don't think they have EVER taken ALL of that stuff out. (96 pieces of food and 25 pots, pans and spoons). When I busted in they were both standing on the sides of their beds "cooking" in the dark. I am proud to say, I did NOT laugh inappropriately, although it was pretty dang cute! They knew they were busted, and they instantly tried to "explain" what was going on.



Ellie: "cook, cook food baby" (cooking for the baby)



Dani: "kean, kean, baby" (cleaning the baby) She had ALL of the wipes on, under and around her bed that she had pulled out of the container and was using to wash her baby. (Somehow one of the babies got blue paint all over her, it has been very upsetting to everyone because it won't come off).



HHMMM



Me: "It's not time to cook or clean the baby (as I am trying to get ALL of the junk off of their beds so they can actually lay down) it is time to SLEEP!" The whole time I am picking up, Dani is saying over and over, "Kean baby, kean baby." Seriously, for the love, that baby is never going to be clean again, scrub all you want, but you have to sleep first!



We'll see what happens, I hear more banging around, do you think they will eventually get tired enough and collapse on the floor? Wishful thinking?



That reminds me, I had to work at 8 this morning, which isn't a big deal because we are ALWAYS up well before 7. Well today Kent made sure I was awake before he left for work at 6:45. I eventually got out of bed at 7 and got ready. I showered, dressed, put MAKE-UP on, and ate breakfast, all by myself! The kids didn't wake up until 7:40!! When I walked into the girls room, Ellie was lying in the middle of the floor just waking up. Apparently she fell out of bed, and just stayed there all night! We really need to figure something out!

Procrastinator or Inventor?

Before rest time today I asked Brayden to pick up the dining room. There were books, papers and markers everywhere. I managed to pick up the whole living room while he was still hanging out in the dining room. This is what I saw when I checked him out: He made this device to pull his stuff. "When the legs are down, that means you stop. When the legs are up, you can push/pull your stuff."

(This is his sister's princess table upside down). I tell ya, he's always thinking.

I had to capture Dani's new owie. She did this yesterday while I was working. She fell into her dresser where the drawer was out and whacked the side of her face. Either that, or Shelbi beat her. :) It is very sad and it looks very painful! Doesn't this look remind you of Bella (Kristen Stewart) from Twilight?

My quick project

I am a little embarrassed to post this because my friends have amazing talent. They have projects and crafts that are hard to even believe that they designed and/or made. This is mine:

Thanks to Kohl's and their great sales! I got the clock for $17.99 then printed out black and white wallet sized prints at Costco! All the kids noticed the next morning when they woke up and they loved it! It was pretty cute.
