| we hardly look exhausted at all |
Is it Monday yet? Can't wait to sit at my computer
all by myself with a cup of coffee silently answering student emails
and working on spreadsheets with no one biting my shoulder or tooting on
my lap. Weekends are different now... days off are not what they used
to be. The girls are particularly squirrelly this weekend needing to be
entertained, fed, or cuddled constantly. My baby won't sit still and my
big girl won't stop cutting "random shapes" of homemade confetti out of
miscellaneous papers around the house (you can never have enough
confetti made out of Ikea magazines and Comcast bills). I can't really
recall all that we have done as it seems like we keep repeating the same
patterns of eating, making big messes, and attempting to go for walks
(which involve me carrying a 45 pound princess several blocks home).
Jake has been trying to stain some woodwork outside and do other needed
projects as I fail at being Super Nanny. At least they are cute and I
totally love them.
What else? Nori was eating cheese and took a
chomp out of her middle finger which was very traumatic for her. Two
boxes of Band Aids later it is on its way to feeling better. Out of the
blue she said, "I love Ben" and "I want to marry Ben". I did not
encourage this idea rather I suggested she marry her dad instead. She and I
tell stories every night under the covers before bed but I have run out of
ideas, so I now I just tell her movie plots with people we know as the
main characters. So far she had heard the plots to Goonies, Ferris
Bueller, Shawshank, Pretty in Pink, Star Wars, and Annie. We will took
an ill-fated trip to Target ... Henny has a new found phobia of shopping
carts so we had to leave the store empty-handed. She is a total wiggle
worm-- can't hold her long yet can't put her down anywhere without her
wreaking major havoc. Restaurants and outdoors are very challenging. Her voracious appetite has scaled back but she is sure to get
20 servings of fruit a day.
Only two weeks until my husbo turns THIRTY-FIVE and we go to the lake for a week long family getaway. So much to pack, so little space...

I take it Dorothy isn't getting enough attention?? This too, shall pass... It looks like you had a very busy weekend...again! It's hard to believe Anna is 3 already...before you know it, your babies will be all grown, so enjoy all the little "challenges" they hand you.
Love, Gramsie

Oh, come on...I know your sweet lab has been into the garbage countless times. AND the night she decides to give it a break, one of the girls will decide to do something cool...like dump it out or clog the toilet...
