he had this great plan to just crawl in bed. i was all for it. i went to the bathroom to brush my teeth ... (i guess already breaking the just crawl in bed part of the rule) and then i couldn't do it. i turned the shower on, i told him it'd be quick.
but who's kidding who.
i never take quick showers : )
i really don't even pretend to - it just always sounds good when i say it.
how can you really just soap up & wash off & turn off the water?? he's teaching the boys how to ... i hear lines like 'mom still has to take a shower, you can't use all the hot water ....'
we went on a date tonight. one of our classic call the babysitter at 4 o'clock dates. she came, the kids were excited. she reads them c.s. lewis books & goes to africa with them in their pretend forts.
we ate delicious food outside on the sidewalk at one of our favorite spots downtown. i even branched out & tried new things off the menu.
regan started calling me mommy today .... not her darling little mum. its sounding more & more like the real mommy.
gotta say, i liked the mum version.
she is also done with bottles. i know, horror of horrors that she even still had one at night before she went to bed ..... but she did. past her second birthday - way longer than any kid before her. and now they are gone. she just goes to bed with the girls. she lays there with her blankie waiting to be prayed with & sang to like the rest of them. and then she says bye.
and parts of me go ahhhhh.
sailor came in earlier today & said they were having the best time playing outside together. all 5 of them .... in those forts they made. i told her that was great. and i really meant it.
jack's homework has ran past 5pm the last two nights. how in the world? you wonder. well .... he's 6 & last week wasn't normal : )
i need to make a grocery list, things we are out of include orange juice, english muffins, dog food. there's more obviously. milk, we're out of milk. today we made muffins (using evaporated milk) we made 2 pans or 24 muffins. except one cup wasn't filled so it was really 23 muffins. they came out of the oven around noon. that & only that was lunch - every last one was gone by 12:30. they thought it was a great lunch. they were sailor's favorite.
here's where i'd type you out the fabulous recipe that the six of us consumed in short order or link you to the great site i found it on.
but ..... the betty crocker cinnamon spice muffin mix in a box can by found on most baking aisles of common grocery stores : )
i sharpied i can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! to the inside cupboard of the door in the laundry room today. in one of those the sky is falling moments where the only thing i'm good at is making muffins from a boxed mix : )
i use the laundry soap a lot - so i'll see it a lot!
there was a dead snake by the fort house earlier this week. it was too much for sailor. i have a morbid sense of curiosity ... i had to look. regan would have stepped right on it she paid that little attention to it. rex doesn't like snakes either - however he wears his man pants well & takes care of those types of things for us : )
i'm actually not in bed anymore. i moved to the couch so he could sleep. i completely freaked him out when i jumped over a stink bug falling on my pillow. he moaned something about needing to call the bug guy .... i tried reminding him i wasn't on good terms with the bug guy.
so i'm sitting in the corner of the couch thinking to myself its warmer than the middle, even though bed has both spots beat.
somehow they ranked higher than just paint a little balloon on the cheek at the small town street fair : ) ben's beard slays me.
