Ugh

Just for fun the little girls and I made a cake this afternoon. They so enjoyed licking the beaters afterwards. As soon as the cake was done I took it out of the oven and set in on top to cool.All would have been fine had I not turned on the wrong burner to boil the water for spaghetti noodles for dinner. We will refer to this as the great cake disaster of 2o10 from now on.

The clean up is going to take somewhere around forever. The King suggested we move. Just another day....

Follow-Up

Poor Buster hasn't felt very good at all this week. He's still battling the same upper respiratory issues he was battling last month and on top of that wound up with an ear infection. Thankfully we caught it early and he was only REALLY miserable for one night. I took him back in today for a follow-up and his ear was looking much better. Now we're just dealing with the 'I'm so stuffed up I can't eat' issues. He screams when he even sees the bulb syringe. It is not his friend. On a similar note he actually smiles when he sees his pacifier. He loves the thing. It's very weird for me because the girls were never interested, but it's been a lifesaver on so many occasions.

I'm excited for this weekend for no particular reason. There isn't really anything going on, just hanging out. I'm sure we'll find something to do.

Silly, Crazy, Boo

Boo was exhausted tonight, but for some reason just would not stay in her bed. I finally just let her sit with me for a minute while I folded a load of laundry. I asked her a question and she didn't answer. I turned around and saw she had fallen asleep on a stack of folded towels. I guess she was pretty tired.

Earlier today she asked me to take some silly pictures of her. This time she said she was pretending to cry.


I have no idea what this look was about. I also have no clue what Tea was doing in the background.


She was laughing about something here. She looks so much like my sister did when she was a baby here. Very cute!


Baby Bunny

When we were at WaterWorld this little, bitty, bunny hopped right over to my Mom. We were walking on the sidewalk, toward the next ride, and couldn't believe it. She scooped him right up. He was so sweet, at least I think he was a he. We turned him in to staff as the area where we found him was dangerous. He was right near a busy parking lot and of course lots of water. The girls wanted to keep him so much, but we did the right thing. Baby animals are sooo cute though....

More T-ball

I could never, ever, ever, get tired of watching tiny kids play sports. Seriously, is there anything cuter? I'm definitely thinking no. I love Tea's uniform. It looks so "real." Who wouldn't be intimidated by that flaming ball on the front?

Unfortunately her poor little cheeks and shoulders match the shirt. Yes, we're still suffering!

Chiggie's Party

This year we did things for Chiggie's B-day party a little different. There was no gift she just really "had" to have and all she really wanted was to go to Water World. We'd never been before so I obliged her wish.It was so nice to have a nice shady area reserved. We ate lunch, cake, ice cream cones, and rested there throughout the day. This Speedway ride, was one of my absolute favorites. You rode on a mat on your belly and it was really fast.
The girls LOVED the wave pool. Here Marlee gave Chiggie a push into oncoming waves.


We took a break midday for some presents, lunch and cake. The cake was delicious!












Here I am riding one of the speed slides. I was soooo nervous to go down. I think I stood at the top for about 15 minutes before I finally just went. Once I had gone down I couldn't wait to go again.



Tea had a great time in the wave pool and playing at Wally World. She didn't really like the Dinosaurs on one of the family rides.Midge and Boo played a lot at Wally World. Here they are sliding down on one of the slides there.
Boo swinging in the water.

Buster was such a trooper. He slept a lot and was perfectly content under the canopy of his stroller.This waterfall was a lot of fun. It was really hot so it was a nice place to cool off.Midge liked the water swings as well.

The three older girls posed for a quick shot before heading back out.

Overall we had a great day. The aftermath was rough though. Major sunburns. Even though we used sunscreen over and over the spf was just not high enough. We're still recovering. Midge, Boo, and Buster were spared entirely so that's good, but as for the rest of us, it wasn't/isn't pretty. I can say it was worth it though, a GREAT day!!
