News from crazy town

Over the past month, just keeping up with schedules and messes has left us a bit ragged. And last week, some violent throwing up and diarrhea pushed us from barely coping (code orange) straight into surviving by sheer luck (code red - abort! abort!). Anyone watching may have discovered us acting a bit off our rockers, pretty much constantly. Here are just a few of such moments...

Lucy is trying to cure the hiccups by drinking out of the wrong side of the bowl. Daddy told her about this trick.

Henry is practicing his Batman moves on the street. And on the furniture. And on Lucy. And on Mom and Dad. And...well, you get the idea.

Mom is trying to hide from the kids. Shhh, they'll never find me in this disguise.

Daddy is racing away. Sadly, not nearly fast enough to actually escape.

Hopefully a bit of relaxation next week (all fingers and toes crossed!!) will prevent us from progressing to straight jackets and padded rooms.

Although, I'm not sure a padded rooms sound so bad...

xo,
Mama

Hooray, you still fit!

Afternoon with the girls

A day out of school gave us time to spend with dear Wendy and Djuna.

The littles had their feast. Chosen accompaniment: princesses, elves and such.

And the bigs had their feast. Chosen accompaniment: adult conversation. Ahhhhhh.

Take care of your girlfriends, you will NEVER grow out of needing them.

Falling for "Chrees"

Dearest Lucy,

Before I left for my bridge group tonight, you asked me for crayons and a stapler so you could make something. You also asked me what I would like on a picture and I told you flowers and fall leaves. I came home after you were asleep to find this...

Gah! I'm in love with it. It will be hard to wait until morning to tell you how just how much I adore every page.

Thank you oh so very  much!!!

Love,
Your Very Proud Mama
