Me: What kind of pancakes do you want? There's blueberry, strawberry, peaches...
D: I need blueberry, strawberry, peach, and broccoli pupcakes!
Me (talking sternly to C): If you do that, you will go to jail!
D: No, we need to go to the treehouse! (our house)
D: Are you okay?
Dad: Yeah. My arms are a little sore.
D: I am okay too.
D: Mom? Do you see the sweetie?
Me: I see a DD and a JJ.
D: I am a DD.
Me: Yes, yes you are.
Leaving the gym, *every* time ~
D: We need to go to Starbucks!
Leaving the gym ~
J: I need mac & cheese and chocolate.
Me: Don't we all.
C: Dad, I don't think I can eat very much mac and cheese, because it's really not that healthy.
Dad: Wow. That's the first time you've ever said that.
C: Yeah, well you say it every day.
Me: What kind of pancakes are you gonna order for breakfast tomorrow?
C: I'm not gonna order pancakes, I'm gonna order mac and cheese.
Me: I thought you said it wasn't healthy.
C: It turns out it is.
Me: You feeling okay?
C: I just need a recliner.
S: Do you want your noodles? You picked the sauce.
D: No, I picked the bread!
(1/13) Work day for Dad and me, and Kathy and Sarah had the kiddos. It was a looong day, and we didn't get home until after 6pm. Not much time to do a whole lot before bedtime.
(1/14) Lazy day with the littles today. We drew pictures, watched some kids' TV, and I did some miscellaneous house stuff while the littles pretended to nap. D actually slept, but J decided to not. He was still thumping around up there when I went to wake them so we could go grab C from school. After grabbing C, we stopped for some snacks at the store and then came home. The teenager appeared and we had a monthly visit today. The teen seemed very non-plussed by it all, and promptly headed upstairs to tie up the phone lines for the next few hours.
(1/15) Work day for Dad and me, and Sarah & Kathy had the kiddos. Sarah took the herd of boys and met me at the gym tonight. Traffic was insane, so I got there late. I got in maybe 20 minutes of Zumba and then 5 minutes into the warm-up for Pump, I got called out because the twins think pooping is a team effort. Ugh. Thank you, twins. After they were squared away, I went back to class. Seriously, children, that is a total zen killer. After we got home, the littles went to bed, and C was sent that way soon too. He was barking like a frog tonight and hardly got any sleep. Poor bubba.
(1/16) Work day for me, and Dad had the day off. I holed up downstairs to work, and Dad had the rest of the crew upstairs. C was feeling really cruddy today, so we kept him home. Dad made a delicious dinner tonight in the crock pot, and I got a whiff of it every time I came upstairs. Torture! Dad was supposed to take C to a hockey game tonight, but with him still running a fever, he posted out to his friends and took Marc instead. It was a great, high-scoring game and Tips won 5-3! I told Dad we watched more fights than he got to see, since we were watching GO GO POWER RANGERS. Woo.
(1/17) Lazy day for us. We slept in and bummed around in our jammies today until well after noon. I went for a walk in the rain with Sarah and co. We walked to Starbucks, and then the four of us drowned rats sat and had our coffee before heading back out in it. After I got home, Dad had fixed up spaghetti and garlic bread for dinner before we went to the hockey game. Nanan came to watch the twinsies, and we bribed her with IHOP tomorrow, so she'll stay overnight. The game was awesome - it was a shutout and the Tips won 6-0! Great bday game! What was not great was the long wait to get out of the parking garage. We sat, and sat, and sat some more. Aside from honking, the whole garage erupted in SEA...HAWKS, which was kind of amusing.
(1/18) Happy Birthday, Dad! We took Dad out to breakfast at IHOP and stuffed ourselves to the gills. Mmm, delicousness! I dropped Dad and C back at the house afterward, and the teenager and I took the littles out to the park. It was about 50° out, but we had some killer wind. There were a bunch of families out anyway killing time before the game. When we got home, the littles chose Playdoh and we ran right up to nap time with that activity. They crashed hard at nap, and I had to wake them at 4p when we headed off to Grandma & Granddad's for dinner. The grands had taco fixins all lined up for us to have at it, and some Seahawks cupcakes to top the evening off. We had a great time and I hauled the herd home at the witching hour and put the littles to bed. C kept coming out every 10 minutes or so to tell me about the Minecraft dreams he is having, when he hadn't actually fallen asleep yet. Dear child, after 9pm, MeanMom™ doesn't care, & you better go the bleep to sleep.
(1/19) Well, lookiehere. I have the day off! Whatever will I do with myself? I plan to kick it off by sleeping in and maybe we'll hit up the museum or something.
S: Do you want your noodles? You picked the sauce.
D: No, I picked the bread!
