As we went up the stairs - Jace told us to be quiet because there were lions and tigers and ... giraffes! Apparently we need to watch Wizard of Oz with them. I asked them what we were looking for and Lexi said, "we are hunting for booties!" Jace looked pretty disgusted and corrected her, "we are looking for gold doubloons, Lexi!" Alas, all we found at the end of our hunt: OREOS!!! Hey - whatever works!
Today, 10/5/11, turned out kind of crazy. I was watching kids for my neighbor, so we had two kids under 3 and two under 6 months (both of them teething!) The kids were taking turns crying, but at least they weren't all going at the same time. As I was feeding Callie, I heard the toilet flushing numerous times. I called her name and asked her what she was doing. Her reply? "Don't worry mommy. I am just taking a bath!" I hurried and put Callie down and ran into the bathroom. There is Lexi - standing in the toilet, flushing it repeatedly!! Still dressed, but at least not wearing shoes. It was actually an ingenious way to ensure that she got an actual bath!
After naps (I miraculously got all 4 to sleep at the same time!), I began playing "Don't Break the Ice" with Lexi and Jaycie (her friend). Lexi and Jaycie asked what the bears name was. I told them I didn't know and that we should give him one. Lexi replied, "I know, his name is Some Random Guy". I asked her to repeat it and she said it again. We played the entire time with her and Jaycie yelling "Some Random Guy - fall down!!!" It was hilarious.
As you can see - staying home is never boring, quite exhausting, and entertaining after you get over the initial annoyance! Plus, I wouldn't get to wake up to this every morning!
