“Mom, I saved you some work. I kind of cost you money too, but I saved you some work!”
“Howwwww??????”
“I broke my bowl I used at lunch. Now you don’t have to wash it. I mean, you’ll have to buy a new one, but you won’t have to wash this one!”
Such a line of thinking. She scares me.
Pierce discovered throwing things down the wooden stairs (we have just five of them) was great fun and incredibly loud.
After playing fetch with Ruby for many minutes, he made a grievous error in judgment and decided to throw himself down the stairs.
Liberty was faster than Momma. She saved the day boy.
Hooray for Liberty. Momma needs to practice that dive. That was pathetic.

Last night when Pierce woke up in the night to eat, I fed him, put him back to bed, and checked the clock, wide awake and wondering if it was even worth going back to bed since it had to be nearly morning.
It was 11:20 pm. Less than an hour after heading to bed, and I couldn’t sleep.
Guess what I want to do today? Not a darn thing. But that couch is looking mighty inviting.
1 tub (32 oz.) vanilla yogurt
2 cans thawed oj concentrate
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix, pour into popsicle molds, freeze. Mmm, so good.
8/10’s of the kids and cousins that were here this week. As you can see, not a one of them enjoyed the pizza. :)
Vacation’s over.
Guests left, dishwasher’s running, and life is back to normal. The house is too quiet. Actually, it’s not quiet at all. But it’s all our noise and none of the joyful cousins-playing noise. Boringly normal.
So normal, in fact, that Blaine’s sick, Charlotte is still recovering, and Pierce is back to his mostly chipper self after a bout with a cold through the week. It remains to be seen if we shared the bug with our guests. Or with more siblings. Or with Momma.
There’s just never a dull moment. Quiet moments, yes. Quiet moments like when Pierce dumps the jumbo sized bag of honey nut cheerios on the kitchen floor. Oh yes.
But no one washed hair with the unlabeled contents of any cups this week, so we’re all good. Or at the very least, I didn’t hear about it.
Many, many thanks to our guests family that visited this week. We had the time of our lives. I haven’t laughed like that in ages. We couldn’t have asked for a better visit. Cousins played, laughed, and made the best of memories. Dominoes into the wee hours made for such fun after-mommying hours, and no one complained about cramped quarters even once. We even left ten children to them one night and Blaine and I went out for supper. I married into an awesome family. :)
