Our vacation

I'm working on getting up stuff about our trip... but it's taking a while. Stay tuned! :)

Hello...

Well last week Rich was out of town. Alex had cub scout day camp monday through friday, Alyssa and Ashley had swimming lessons monday through thursday, Angela decided since the big kids are around all day long she is not going to take naps without a major struggle and fight, and I averaged about 3 hours of sleep everynight from insomnia. It was definitly a very busy and exhausting week, but it was also fun and we got through it without any major problems. :)

This week is all about getting ready to go on vacation. We leave on Thursday. I had mentioned how I was sewing dresses for my girls and a niece for my sisters wedding- well those are not going to get completed, I made the executive decision that I had too many other things to do and they were stressing me out, so I scrapped that project and might finish them later, but definitly not for this weekend.

Oh... I mentioned how Angela is fighting taking naps... here is where I found her this afternoon about 15 minutes after trying to get her to take a nap for the third time...





Have I ever mentioned how jealous I am of those kids that lay down in their "beds" and go to sleep for naps??? :)

Bathtime

So Ashley asked if she could take a bath tonight. Both she and Alex wanted to take baths, and were fighting over who could use our bathtub- so I told them they could take baths, but had to use their bathroom and upstairs. So Alex went to their bathroom and Ashley went upstairs. All was fine until I heard Ashley yelling for me to come upstairs… I went up and found Angela in the tub- clothes, diaper and all… So I stripped her down, and let her get in the tub with Ashley.

I took the wet clothes and diaper downstairs and got clean pj’s and a clean diaper for her and brought them up. I put them on the counter and looked and found no towels, so I went downstairs and got their towels they used last night.

I hear Ashley yelling for me again… and get upstairs and find Angela’s pj’s and clean diaper in the tub… so I fish those out, and go downstairs with them along with the bathmat that got soaked. I toss all the wet clothes in the washer, and diaper in the diaper pail. Then go and get clean pj’s for Angela… Alyssa needed something, so I yelled upstairs to Ashley that I was on my way up and for her to pull the plug and start draining the water to get out.

Then Ashley starts screaming… eeeewww MOMMYY YOU HAVE TO COME SEE THIS!!! So I ran upstairs and found Angela standing next to the tub, with the two towels pulled down on the floor and a huge pile of mushy poo on the floor and her legs and feet…

Ashley was sitting in the tub trying to not start gagging…

We had a fun time tonight!!! ;)
