New way to nap

For those of you who know Frances well, you know that she does not nap and has not napped for a long time! Well, today at lunch she did not like what was served. she was only asked to taste it and she was going to be allowed something else. No Way! Her option then became to try it or take a nap with the little ones. yep, she took a nap! Hmmmmm...looks like we are having special lunches every weekend now!!! :)

odd family

The number of members that is. We are up to five in our house again. We have a two year old boy staying with us. He is only five months older than Delaney and is at least 2-3 times her size. I don't think I am allowed to post pictures of him at this time. He has been with us for almost two weeks now and the transition is going well. We obviously have more adjusting to do but it is going great all things considered. he is a healthy and developmentally normal child. he is all boy and man are two year old boy tantrums amazing to witness. It is like watching a natural disaster occurr! Anyhow, our house has become much louder and busier. The floors are now scattered with trains and pieces of train tracks. The girls are in heaven! They are playing with the trains as much if not more than him. So that is what is new in our family. I am never very good at keeping up on my blog but now I have one more excuse:)

Spring Cleaning...

What a day it has been already! Thanks to my two youngest (I will update in another post about that) getting up early today I have already begun my spring cleaning! I have mopped the kitchen floor and cleaned behind and under the fridge.

What a good wife huh?

More like what a bad mom...I was so tired that I dozed off in the chair while I thought the 1 and 2 year old were watching Clifford. Somewhere in my dozing I was aware of the very happy sounds of a laughing toddler. I knew our little guy was running back and forth from the kitchen to the living room and having a blast, that is something we make a game out of at times so I didn't think much of it. So I finally realize that I have dozed off and open up my eyes. What do I see??????? It looks like there is water dripping from him...it didn't even take two seconds for me to realize what had happened. I had forgotten to lock the water dispenser on the fridge door! I run out to the kitchen and holy cow!

So...needless to say, I mopped the kitchen floor and cleaned under the fridge:)
