what do i do all day?

i think it has taken me nearly 2 hours to write & then publish the easter post. seriously, doing this stuff with kids around is nearly impossible, eh? i leave the computer to play for a bit with the nannied boy & when i return the girls have edited half of the starred picasa pictures into something crazy & half non picture-like.

*sigh*

so yea, what's been going on here? aside from the medical tragedies--well, i have a new one to add: my grandma had hernia surgery yesterday. i totally forgot about it, so i was caught off guard when my uncle texted me yesterday morning. my thought: GAH! so i quickly ask wes if he can work from home in the afternoon, sending the girls outside (only, it was raining...whoops) & i was off to see her, then off to yoga after dinner.

these days are just plain crazy anymore.

this just in: amelia has renamed these pom-poms bobs. so now, you must call them bobs. her reasoning? because they look like bobs. my mom has been saying how sad it will be when amelia turns 4...because her year 3 has turned cuddly, shy, silly, & a wee bit feisty amelia into just plain feisty. she's hilariously feisty & stubborn & very, very 

anyway. my girls.

so this spring the girls have a tap dance class together...amelia attends, but participates only half the time. addy is usually very focused, unless her bff ella is there (also in the tap class) & then her attention span only lasts 30 seconds or less. but! totally worth it, just to get these outfits put together, right?

 amelia would be the one with her hand scratching her bottom. so proud. addy has the leg warmers, fashionary & all.

"i think this being a beautiful day because we are mommies" 

amelia is covering the bottom of the slide, why?

because she peed at the bottom & made pee mud.

gross, eh?

great quotes while writing this post

• that's a pencil in the cup not a straw. we don't drink from pencils.
• hhm, that barbie doll picture has a bob (see above description for explanation of what a bob is to amelia) for a head.
• the nannied boy pretended to eat my homework! (i wish i was just making this stuff up *smile*)
• mommy, do you need a break?
• why are you standing on the counter?
• why are you standing in the kitchen sink?
• yes, that was a picture of you covering up the spot where you peed.
• nope, playing with pee-mud is NOT a good idea.
• eating cereal off the floor like a dog is a good way to also eat dog hair.
• where are max & ruby's parents?! (one of my least favorite shows...ranks with caillou!)
