Home Is Where the Heart Is

Me: That's not a good hill to go down.
D: Yes it is! I need you to walk away now.
Sarah: Yeah, I think your mom's right.
D: And you too need to walk away!

J: I am gonna be first to play the DS!
Me: D asked first, so he gets to go first.
J: And then I get to be first again!

Dad: What do you want on your broccoli?
D: Wine.
Dad: What?
D: Lime.
C: Oh, I thought he said wine.
Dad: That's what I thought too!
D: That's because it's the magic word!

D: Mom, I didn't make my day. It just turned into a zombie!

Me: Good morning!
D: No!
Me: Are you awake yet?
D: I DON'T LIKE TO! That's rude!

C is watching House Hunters ~

J: I need to watch Home!

C: JJ, I am watching houses.

J: Mom!  I need you to change the houses into Home!  

C: What I really don't like is the arch over the door.

Me: We're not remodeling your room, kiddo.

C: I just want to extend my room over the stairs because it isn't big enough.

J: Your *mumble* cute.

Me: I'm cute?

J: Sure. 

Me: Who's cute?
J (points at me): Your eyes cute.

(1/5)  Work and school day for all of us.  Today was long and we were all feeling pretty punchy.  Or at least I was... Dad was an awesome cook tonight and brought home pizza.  Pizza always makes things better.

J: Please Mom, I need to be a superhero!

J: It's a blidge party! (bridge ~ J's Rs are Ls)

(1/6) Day off for me, and work day for Dad.  I worked in the littles' classroom, and it was such a gorgeous day out that once lunch was inhaled, we went right back outside.  Our sandbox has completely frozen over, and that was big fun for them.

(1/7) Work day for me, and Dad had the kiddos.  He then had to take them all to C's hockey practice, and still beat me home by 2 minutes. I managed to make it to Zumba for like the last 20 minutes. Dear traffic and phone calls at 4:58pm: you're on my list.  Seriously, people, I have places to be!


(1/8) I worked from home today, and Dad had the kiddos. I got my coffee walk/gab time in early with Sarah, and then proceeded to rot my brain by binge watching of Making a Murderer.  Really interesting show!

(1/9) C had hockey early this morning.  He was able to play the entire game and even scored the winning goal!  He finally seems to be back to his old self, and we're so grateful.  The littles went with me to the gym, and then to practice.  Their games start tomorrow, but they still can't even stand on the ice... so, we're gonna bail.  We'll attempt those at another time.

(1/10) We had a lovely lazy day at home today.  C has really gotten in to watching House Hunters, and has all these grandiose ideas for remodeling his room.  He did, however, spend like 3 hours cleaning and organizing it, which was amazing!  After lunch we joined Sarah and her kids at the park to get outside for a bit.  After we went home, the littles painted their train models from their aunt & uncle, and C decorated a mask from the kit he got from Nanan.

(1/11) Monday again.  Work for us adults, and the kids have school.
