Yes, I'm still here...

I know, I know...it's been a couple days... been busy!!  OK, so I'm always busy...but, it's been a bit more hectic since Friday.  And to be perfectly honest, I'm exhausted and don't have the energy to write about it all right now.

Hopefully, I will be able to tell you all about how I pulled off my Friday night..my cookies...work (nah, that's boring)...hubby...girls night poker...angry moments, happy moments and more:)

Have a GREAT day!!

My Day in Pictures...

Busy busy over here... Thought it would be fun to tell you about my day through some pics.. Enjoy:)

Franny in bed with us at 5:00AM... yeah, she's a kicker!!

Franny figured out how to climb onto this stool.. too bad for Max.. that was his 'play' place

Dress up time and 'sword' fighting

Climbing onto shelves..

Wanting to be Max..

Enjoying some cookie dough... YES... I gave her some!!

THIS ALL HAPPENED BEFORE 11:00 AM!!!!

AND- I was making cookies:)

What's NOT pictured:

- Franny and Max pulling out ALL of my chocolate molds

- Franny being able to pull down my 'cookie' decorating frostings and trying to eat them.. yes, she was sucking on the BLUE one...

- ALL of her blocks and books scattered all over the floor

- Diapers scattered all over the house... hey, if you ever need one, you should find one nearby!!

- Silverware from the dishwasher strewn across the kitchen floor as I'm trying to get them INTO the dishwasher

- My newly folded laundry UNFOLDED .. 

Oh, and I DID get in the shower before Baby C arrived and finally got my dishes/laundry finished!!  Well, ok, I really only moved the laundry from the washer into the dryer.  Yup, the laundry I ran yesterday.  But, it's something, right??  

Also worked at the library today (hence the shower) and managed to get the big kids to the Science Fair at school on time.  No, they did not participate this year.  If you can tell me where to fit in doing a science project, let me know!!

Working on some very special cookies for a very special lady!!  Excited about them:)  Will post pics once they are all done!!

Have a great night!!

Farts in the tub...

Yes, you read correctly... I am talking about laugh out loud, making bubbles kinda farting in the tub!!

Can you remember the last time you actually sat in the bathtub??  I know I can't.  And can you remember the last time you enjoyed bathing??  Splashed around a bit??  Drank the dirty bath water??  Threw water at your 'bathing' partner??  And, yes, farted in the tub so loud you couldn't stop laughing and kept trying to do it again and again and again??

Oh, to be 3 again (and 1).. Usually, bath time in our house is a means that justifies the end... you know, get 'em in and get 'em out as quick as possible b/c it's already late and all 4 haven't been washed and dried in a while.  So, it was nice to actually enjoy giving the littles a bath last night and watch them interact, have some fun, and laugh out loud!!  It also brought back some memories of when there were just 2 of them:)  Check out the pics:

This is Franny and Max (they are really this size and age)

This is DJ and Kyra from about 6 years ago..

I LOVE bath pics!!

In other news...today is the beginning of Lent.  So, of course my kids seem to think that I can just stop smoking (yes, I know, dirty little habit) and should give that up.  Well, we all know that's not happening cold turkey.  Thought about some other things to give up that I would truly miss: wine (yeah right), french fries (ha ha ha), chocolate (maybe not), yelling (um...this is impossible.. especially when you're really cute 3 year old has turned into a demolition/destruction man recently), . .  yeah, I ran out of things here.

So, than I thought... what could I really give up and follow through??  Oh, I know, I could give up being SOBER!!   Wouldn't that be cool??  I mean, I may actually NOT yell if I were 'drunk' all the time.  But, I would also be slurring my words a lot.  Oh, maybe they would understand me better??  LOL..

OK, so I won't give up my sobriety.  But, I did decide, as I was walking into Quick Chek for my 99cent soda, that maybe I could give up soda.  I thought: hey, if I gave up soda, maybe I could lose a couple pounds in the next 40 days??  Yeah, that's a great idea.  I'll just stop drinking it!!  And than I proceed to purchase a Starbucks coffee drink that has a double shot of espresso in it and boasts- only 200 calories per serving.  Yup, that will definitely help me lose a few pounds..NOT!!  Oh, well, soda it is..

And, just so you all know why I haven't written in a few days, here is a little list of what's been going down since Friday...I know, it's Wednesday already...but it's been a LONG couple days!!

Friday morning came
No school today
4 kids that's lame
I got Baby C and J

Hey, that makes Six
And hubby works from home
Should I take some pics?
I just wanna be left Alone

All the babies gone
Here comes the niece
I could use a wand
SHHHHHH Please

Jazz, ballet, and Pizza time
Done by 8 but run to BJ's
Tequila, sour, and a lime
And it's only Friday!!

Saturday came and went
Worked all day and bought our food
Franny... well, we won't lament
She isn't sleeping all that good

Sunday, We bought a car
And Back to work I go
Perhaps I should stop at the BAR
And spend a little dough??

Monday morning here we come
School's are off and so is hubby
Franny's not her usual Awesome
She's looking a little ruddy

Baby C is here again
Franny off to see the Doc
OK MOm, count to Ten
She's alright, just likes to rock

Invade Shop Rite with the girlscouts
DJ came and toured it too.
Round and round and round about
Polish dancing and skipping to my Loo

I can't go on with this rhyme
My head will surely start to break
I need a heavy sip of wine
For my own personal sake!!

Toodles everyone...BTW- that poem only got us to Monday night!!  I could go on and on and on, you know!!  Here are a few pics of what I wrote:)
