February 7


Today I showered and put on earrings. Toby saw the earrings and asked me where we were going. I told him to pick up the kids from school. "Then where?" he asked. I said I thought we would swing by the grocery store on the way home. "And then where??" Apparently it needs to be a rather monumental occasion for me to look presentable when leaving the house…

That cute, wonderful baby of mine was up half the night screaming. We probably only got 3 hours of sleep, if that… It looks like she was tired today. I wonder why.  >:-[


I'm loving this new line of organic stuff at Aldi!!! If they have it, I will buy it. 


And I attempted to make bread. It wasn't very good. I didn't deviate from the recipe, but I didn't allow for all the time it needed to rise. It ended up very dense. I'd love to learn how to make a good, homemade loaf of bread, so I'll give it another go at some point. 

Ruby had her 100th Day Celebration at school today, and she painstakingly put all 100 Fruit Loops in rainbow order on her necklace.

I made a deal with Eva tonight. I told her that I would feed her my yummy homemade popcorn for the rest of her life if she agreed to stay little. She looked at me and shoved more popcorn in her mouth.


I'll take that as a yes.

The first day back to reality. I'm tired. #dislike



But I suppose it was better then this day last year. I still remember the caption I posted on Facebook:

Crying baby, cool dishes, crappy weather, and cat faces. In pen.



Cat faces. They're naughty. lol



And hey, silver lining--all the dishes are still in one piece a year later. *knocks on wood*

"Why is Toby so small but he's so good??"  {Garrett, regarding Toby's Wii samurai sword fighting skills.} He's like a ninja. You blink and you're toast. He was beating everyone!! 

Also, Eva has started hugging her siblings... Melt. My. Heart.
