is he having fun? or is he silently asking for help?

On a lovely day, sometimes the kids just want to be with their Daddy (or more to the point, they all want to be ON Daddy). Halleluiah!

I think it's all fun and games until someone yells for help!

And Daddy is yelling for help. Can't you just hear the silent scream?

But the kids sure are having fun with him.

(Thing 1 in pink, Thing 2 in white)

I didn't know I had 4 children

This morning I was laying on the couch with Thing 2 and Big Bro climbing over me. Thing 1 was off in a corner playing by herself, but when she was done, she came up to us and wanted to join in.

Me: "All my children can climb on me, I don't mind. M, how many children does Mommy have?"

Big Bro: "Three!"

Me: "How many girls and how many boys?"

Big Bro: "Two girls!"

Me: "How many boys?"

Big Bro: "One!"

Me: "Great job!"

Big Bro: "No! Two boys."

Me: "Two? Where is the other one?"

Big Bro: "IN THE OFFICE!"


NOTE: Daddy was in the office.

Thanksgiving Trip

The trip to see the family normally takes 3 1/2 hours and in fact, it took us that long. The planets alligned perfectly and the trip was smooth and stress-free.

Daddy drove the entire time.

Matty refused to nap for the first hour because he wanted to see Nana and Papaw. He finally fell asleep without any fuss after an hour. Though we did have to have an emergency stop at the side of the road to make a pit stop. Daddy was a little worried we may get arrested, but hey, who have ever heard of a bladder of a 2-year old listening to such logic.

Jojo was content to just stare at something that the window. I don't quite know what it was, but hey, as long as she's happy, we're all happy.

Katie just found a comfy position and got some zzzzz's.

Me? What did I do? I wanted to catch some zzzzz's but Matty had other ideas and demanded that I be on his beck and call until he fell asleep. I didn't mind. It was a stress-free, F-word free trip. Everyone is happy, who could ask for more.
