| My plan was to update this every few hours so Miriam could check when she got home and see what the kids did while she was gone. Hahahahaha. With 3 kids around, who has time for a computer? Last night after watching Lady & the Tramp, Charlotte and I painted her toenails (light purple). Victoria got very interested, came and inspected C's toenails, and then stuck her foot in my face. So Victoria now has light purple toenails as well. The kids were a bit whiny when they went to bed, b/c of no parents & being pretty tired. This morning I woke up when Victoria did, around 8am. Charlotte & Mathias were already watching morning cartoons. We ate cereal, (fruit loops) drank milk and huddled under blankets. The windows had been open all night and it was rather chilly. After playing around all morning, we dressed, found shoes, and went to get doughnuts and chocolate milk. We drove to the park, sat on the bench and enjoyed our spoils. Then Charlotte decided that she had to use a bathroom- so we walked down the street to Liz's house and interuppted their morning routine for a few minutes. My cat DOES NOT like the kids. Or other dogs. Came home, ate lunch, put Victoria down for a nap, played Star Wars Legos, matching games, played tag, ate icee treats & string cheese, broke a glass cup outside, fought a bit, ran races down the street, went searching for the baby birds we heard chirping, examined stink bugs on the front porch, talked to various aunts a few times, mom & dad called and talked, went out back to play war (or something like that, the parameters of the game were never very clear-) and then-- the aunts arrived!!! That's where we are now. Abby, Naomi, Becky, and their friend Olivia are now here for the weekend! The kids are ecstatic. Except that Victoria is a bit wary, she doesn't seem to remember them. Look for another update later tonight. |
