Randomly Speaking.

We played games the other night. We decided Candyland should be first so Eva and Wyatt could play too. We didn't have all the little gingerbread men so the kids improvised with the tokens which I obviously found amusing.

I was the yellow Lego. The typically swift game of Candyland took the six of us almost thirty minutes to play. I was the loser, I think I got put back in the chocolate swamp [where I truly belong anyway] like three times!

I love this picture Wyatt made for me with his red crayon, I love how he made us holding our stick hands together. I only wish that I didn't have the male pattern baldness.

Some of his creativity doesn't please me so much though. Look what Wyatt did to every bedroom door in the house! The little vandal! No wait, the little door scrubber!

It is nearly impossible to keep clothes on my littlest one. She has this burning desire to wear a costume, preferably any princess, every moment of the day. She will not keep regular clothes on her body! So she more often than not looks like this:

I wouldn't mind so much if it were another month [July maybe] where it would be appropriate to be running around half naked all day! I'm getting tired of telling her to get dressed! What is it about kids anyway that keeps them from being cold? I'm freezing over here and they are running around with shorts on asking me to blow up the pool! Maybe I should just chill and realize that they are happy and having fun, which should [and does after all] make my job easier.

Here she is as farmer girl. I talked her into this one because it is mostly regular clothes, which I celebrated, but sadly it didn't last long. Can you guess what Emily was? The horse of course. In case you haven't visited us at home in the last oh, ten years or so you might not know that playing animals is Emily's favorite activity. I don't know if she is ever going to grow out of it! She is a really good horse, she even wore all brown, shirt, skirt, socks. I told her, "look you even have brown hair and brown eyes." You should have seen her smile at me. She loved that.

Today I think I'll take it easy and just go grocery shopping, buy new auto insurance, pick Eva up from school, take all the kids for the flu shot in far away Modesto, [try to] get new sneakers for Emily and Sarah, warden over my kids to get their homework done, and then go to a PTA meeting. Yeah, I think I will take it easy like that! Help! I hope Tony can do the feeding of the children tonight. Ahhhh, looking forward to Friday.
