her own idea of how fairies stand, i guess : )
their 'pixie dust' ~

there is a fresh-out-of-the-oven pumpkin pie sitting on the stove. the three kids that are here are still sleeping. sailor is out with rex. i have not gotten dressed today. the house looks like the remains of last nights party. rex has a way of transforming our little house into whatever mood his parties are about - we had our own costume party last night. it made me want to live in a 2 room flat with him somewhere in some big city . . .
i wish i could photograph the beauty of what the rooms can look like in candle light - i usually don't even try . . . but his party was a smashing success. i won the costume contest - by 1 vote : ) we ate way too much candy. we watched the candles nearly burn away. we played party games. we had a really great time. and then just as if reality hit - our party was not over 12 minutes when poor children started crying. reminding us we weren't in some flat in some big city - we were home in our little house with 4 little kids sleeping down the hall. between ben & molly for some strange reason i was up a dozen + times last night. and because of their long night i've tried shifting their day . . . i love the end of daylight savings time for the extra hour of sleep but i never like them waking up an hour earlier since they have no idea of the time change! this morning when they got up molly liked the twinkle lights and fairy wand. benny couldn't get over everywhere he turned there being candy in little dishes. and sailor excited about the candy and the lights was seriously wondering how the furniture was moved : )
anyway - i've spent today running the washer and dryer non-stop. here and there returning the house to its normal state. thanks to mom, making pies for tomorrows after church lunch. and waiting for rex to come home. he was out at work this morning with jack then came home and traded kids for another job. i'm ready for him to be home again.
i hear my molly. time to get dinner.
