Confessions to scare the childless couple

I am writing this... just because.








I have bendaroos stuck to my wall in the shape of a bow.
I have a toothbrush and scissors on my desk (??!!)
I have a dog curled up on my freshly washed laundry... he's very cute.






I hear mass giggling... only to find five little heads bent over 9 hermit crabs crawling with reckless abandon on my clean tablecloth
I catch my three year old leaping, legs and arms spread wide, off her dresser and onto her new toddler bed.
The cat licks it's butt on my kitchen counter.
There is playdoh in my hair.
There is A LOT of marker under my tablecloth... same marker is on the carpet, the laundry room door and my dryer
The appliances that wash things... are dirty.
There are worms in the dryer
There are princess stickers on my computer
There are bug stickers on some doors
There are bandaids in the bathtub
There are five pieces of gum spit out on the floor... (they are hot.... (well why then did you try five pieces??!!))
There are five children yelling into the fan. This is okay... until they start yelling butt and fart and horrify the mailman.
Said mailman makes fun of us.




The pizza guy knows my oldest's name.
He also knows my dog's name
So does the lady at McDonalds.
I have five hairbrushes but can only find my least favorite one at any given time.
Any food when eaten by a one year old is messy and can triple in size.
I have been known to wear pajama pants and sandals..... to the store
The word "itchy" means I don't like it and I am NOT going to wear it.
So does "ucky princess"
A child with her hair done and a pretty dress can get just as dirty as one wearing only socks and a diaper.
I sometimes do dishes at night because that is the only time nobody is unloading behind me and placing soup cans in the dish rack.
My little ponies melt in the dishwasher
The heated drying cycle of the dishwasher can start a fire... which leads to the "beep beeps" going off, much screaming and one or two kids in the front yard. Thus practicing our monthly test of fire safety.
Sometimes... there is a mess that you have NO idea how to clean!!
Spaghetti is on everything.
Also... for some reason... food tastes better if your hair gets a taste too!

forgive me...

but, I LOVE these movie thingies. I have so much fun putting the pics in order and matching up a song. Anyway... we went to the zoo yesterday, it was a lot of fun. I could almost go every day. The kids had a blast and I only spent like 15 bucks cause it was half off day!! WOO.. Ruby was pretty miserable without her nap. She threw sand in everyone's eyes at the sandbox, got a black eye when she fell running away from me, and threw a HUGE fit when the carosel ride was over. All in all though, I think it was an excellent day. I love to take them places.. especially outdoors with animals. I think one of the most important things to pass on to our children is a love of nature. It doesn't matter what creature, there is a place for them all in the universe. My kids are slowly learning a respect for nature and animals, we have had a huge assortment of pets. We also have rescued several sparrows and I taught them how to mix the baby food and how to hand feed them with the ends of q-tips. We have also felt he pangs of loss when an animal that is part of the family dies. I know in my heart that these lessons are the ones that really matter.

I love summer... I am totally admitting to the fact that my lack of posting has been due to the fact that I am hardly on the computer anymore. I just want to be outside outside outside. I don't even want to go to work anymore :D. Ava is turning into such an amazing little girl. Her speech gets better every day even though it is hard to understand it is great to finally see what makes her tick. I love hearing about her thoughts and what strange thing she is going to come up with yet. I bore everyone at work with my stories about my wild life with children. I don't think anyone is luckier than me.... No matter what the day was like... or what kind of rejection i recieve in the outside world... there will always be a house full of people who love me... I will walk in the door to be assaulted with MOM MOM MOM.... They overwhelm me with questions and requests... but I wouldn't trade it for anything... these people are mine.. my home is safe and we all accept each other faults and all. People at work are always saying "you got your hands full"... but they don't realize that the work involved... the time.... I am trading it for something that is so precious and amazing. I wouldn't give it up for all the wild nights they spend partying... all the trips to vegas... all the alone time in the world. They have NO idea what they are missing!
