Wordless Wednesday ~ Esmeralda

A weeks worth of stuff

I got to sleep in this morning! 9:00 AM, woo hoo! I don't know if it counts though, because the baby was up at 4, and 7 to eat. So does that cancel out my sleep in? It feels good to sleep till 9, even if I was up 2 hours before. Thanks kids!

I couldn't remember everything that happened this week until I uploaded my pictures from my camera...then I remembered.

The girls decided they were little Picasso's and drew their lovely artwork all over their beds and dresser and walls with a sharpie they found. After I took pictures they scrubbed it off. All I can say is they better be grateful for Mr. Clean! Those 'magic erasers' are so much easier than the way I had to do it as a kid!

Mychigan didn't want to claim this one, but somehow mommy knew!:

I saw an Oprah with Dr. Oz, and he had a recipe for a 'green drink' that Oprah decided tasted 'fresh', so I thought I would make one for the kids and I and see what they thought. I didn't like it much, it tasted too much like celery...Mychigan is my celery kid, so she liked it best, but still most of the stuff got dumped down the drain. Not really a good drink...I don't think it tasted like 'fresh'. Uck.

Sabryna just looking at her drink, not wanting to taste it:

Classic Mychigan face:
Daisy's tiny sip:

We lit our first fire in the fireplace! Woo hoo, it was so cozy! I love fires in the fireplace, and even though they don't put out much heat they are fun and cozy. My girls displayed their 'fire-bug-ness' with constantly wanting to be over there and poking it...why are fires so attractive to kids? I remember wanting to play in them too. My mom always said I would pee the bed if I played in the fire.

Sabryna was so cute one night. I found her and Ryver on the couch reading books together. She had wrapped Ryver up and set her on her lap and was reading to her! Oh my, it was soooo cute! Ryver was loving it too.

My big Purcy kitty has started taking his guard down for little Gabby. Esmeralda my other big kitty hasn't yet and still hisses every time Gabby comes near her, but last night I caught a sweet moment. Purcy with little Gabby snuggled right up next to him. When I opened the door, he was licking her, but stopped when I came in, so I didn't get a picture of that, but I hope to soon...awwwww! Cute kitties.

And finally, last night Sabryna went on a sleepover with a friend, and I let the little girls sleep in the 'tent'. It's not a sleeping tent, it's just a little vinyl tent with no floor, but they wanted to sleep in it so bad, so I thought "why not?" It was cute, even though it took them over an hour to get to sleep...that's OK because it was Friday night, right? I'm surprised they slept til 9 o'clock in it, it couldn't have been comfortable what with sleeping in on the bars that run along the floor, but ah, kids...they don't notice stuff like that, and yay for sleeping in!

Sweet sleeping girls:

Daisy's little head poking out the bottom: Cute!The Tent:So now I am going to take the girls to another friend's for another overnight because tomorrow is Dell's and My 13th anniversary! I can't believe it's been that long already, it feels like we just got married yesterday...or tomorrow! Crazy!

Not much going on...

Hmmmm....today not much happened. We went to Daisy's pre-school and read to her, it was 'Grandparents and Goodies' day, and since her Grandparent's live far away, we stepped in for proxy. :) Dell had the day off, so he went too. It was fun.

I cleaned the laundry room to add the kitten to the other cats because she is stinking up Sabryna's room. I don't like that. All the other cats' stuff is in the laundry room, so the kitten can be in there too. They will just have to learn to get along! They really do for the most part, but those older ones just don't like her very much! My male tolerates her, and my female doesn't so much, but I see her breaking. I bet they will be the best of friends before a week goes by....hopefully!

Tomorrow I will be cleaning Sabryna's room and hopefully that ca-ca smell will dissipate! Pee Yu! I don't know how she sleeps in there!

Now the kids and the big kid are playing Nintendo, well he is playing, they are watching. So I am blogging! I gave an award the other day, and I have seen most of you receive it, but some haven't, so I will name you again: Cecily, Kate, Tami, Carrie, Kellan, Crystal, Girlymom, The Dairy Wife, Bee-lissa, and HolleeAnn. I know most of you have gotten it...but since it's so gone now, I thought I would post one more time and let those who didn't see it, see it. :) Go to this post to see what I wrote before.
