Me: Yes. Mama has brown eyes. What color are JJ's?
J: Blue!
Me: JJ has brown eyes like Mama. See?
J: JJ has eyes!
D: I have blue eyes in my eyes!
D: I make a teeter totter! Bears and otters! (eating French fries & making a teeter totter after the song in swim)
C: I know how we can see each other more often.
Bridger: How?
C: We can spend the night every Friday!
Me: What should we do today?
J: Go to pictures!
C: And I really need to buy some books on space, so that I can share them with Jordan.
Me: You could always check them out of the library.
C: But Mooooom, our research is going to last for over a year.
Me: Well, lucky you have the whole internet to research on then.
C: We can't fit the big computer in our lab, and that's why I need my own PC.
(5/12) Work day for Dad and me, school for the bigs, and Sarah had the boys. Tuesdays are such a blur. By the time I get the kids home and fed, it's bedtime already.
(5/13) Work day for Dad and I had the kids. I didn't feel like going anywhere because our afternoon was going to be crazy, so the littles and I played out back and called it good. During nap, Nanan came to stay with the littles while I ran the teenager to an appointment, and Grandma grabbed C from school. I desperately need a cloning machine. For real. After all the running around, and I had put the littles down for the night, Nanan and I went painting at Palettes and Pairings for a belated Mother's Day get together with Amber, Jake, and her folks. Those things are so fun! I needed more time when it was all over though - I didn't quite get finished. I so wanted to put a Mr. Yuk sticker on my wine label!
(5/14) Work day for Dad and me and Sarah had the boys. I picked up the boys after work at the ball field, came home to collect the teenager + a surprise bonus teenager. Ran the bonus teenager home and took the kids shopping. After we got done with that, we headed home for dinner and bedtime.
(5/15) I had taken today off long ago because we were supposed to go on vacation this weekend. But our plans changed, and other plans were made, and heck, I just needed a holiday. So the bigs had school, and Dad and I spent the day relaxing at home. I got the lawn picked up and mowed while the littles played outside for part of the morning. They love playing in the shed where the mower lives. C got to camping for Bridger's birthday this evening, the teen was invited out to a movie, and Dad had his farewell party this evening. Suffice to say, I got the TV all to myself after the littles went down and did not watch one single kid program!
(5/16) Dad took the boys to swim lessons this morning and I took the teen to her solo competition. She did an great job, and the group sang Amazing Grace in memory of her friend when her time slot came up. Her friend was supposed to go up with us today... and instead it was a very different day. The teen attended her memorial after the competition. Since she went to the memorial with a friend, I spent the morning with my mom and we went for breakfast and then did a little shopping. The rest of the day was pretty chill. The teen stayed out with friends most of the day, and C was in and out at home. Also some reading and napping was had by the rest of us.
(5/17) The teen had a visit this morning, and while she was off at that, I went and caught a run and coffee with my favorite Tory. I don't think we've run together in over a year. Must change that! After coffee, I went home to grab some lunch and spend some quality time with my book. C played Pokemon with the neighborhood kids and the littles "napped" (er, hollered and played instead of rested). The teen wanted to go to a bonfire in memory of her friend tonight, so we had her do some dreaded homework before she could go. And then the rest of us had dinner and got ready for the week.
(5/18) Dad starts his new job today, so he's the only one excited for this Monday. Bigs have school and then will hang with the grandparents, littles are with Sarah, and Dad & I are at work. Woo!
