Somebody & Nobody

Volcanoes!

D: Somebody colored on JJ!
Me: I wonder who that somebody was....?
J: Nobody! It was nobody, Mom!

J: Goodbye!  See you in the later!

D: Oh no!  He's making me get another black eye!
Poor bubba has quite the shiner after tripping and colliding with the toilet.



Me: Who's home today? Is Mama home?
J: Stop talking me.  Just a second.
....
J: Nobody's home, Mom.

J: Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, MOM!
Me: Stop calling my name; it's frustrating when you call it so many times!
J: I just called it one time.


(5/10) Work day for Dad & me, and school for the boys. Everyone was super tired and punchy today.  Gonna be a great day. Huzzah!


(5/11) Work day for Dad and I had the boys.  We had a nice day at preschool, and when I got home, I ended up painting all of our nails and toes.  It's quite the production, but the boys are so serious about it!


(5/12) Ugh with extra ugh sauce.  We got a really high estimate to paint our house, but it's so tall, and our timeline so tight that we'll probably end up doing it.  But UGH! The twinsies were hellions for Dad today.  Dad was feeling under the weather too, which didn't help.  I ended up taking C to hockey tonight so Dad could rest.  It's nice getting to see my big guy play every now and then!


(5/13) Work from home day for me.  It was supposed to be book club night, but that ended up getting cancelled. Everyone's just so busy this time of year.

(5/14) Today's project was tackling C's room.  I gutted it.  He's down to clothes that fit and zero toys.  We should be able to pretty much dump his clothes in a box and be done packing his room. Woot!  Dad pared down the kitchen and made a dump run today.  Also, in the middle of all that, we managed to find a buyer for our 90gal aquarium.  So I emptied that, and sent it on its way.  D was horribly upset, but we did keep a couple of the smaller tanks, so maybe he can have a betta in the future or something.  But for right now, less is more!  We went out for sushi because we were too beat to cook after all that.  I think we ordered like 8 rolls, plus yakisoba, & calamari, and polished it off between the five of us.  J personally whacked almost an entire Rainbow Roll by himself.  And then the boys asked for snacks after we got home.  I'm not kidding.

(5/15) Work day for Dad and I was home with the boys.  I got all boy clothes washed, sorted and put away.  Also did the twinsies' room and purged the top two floors of Legos.  ZOMG we have so many Legos.

Parent gift from the boys' teacher ~ So cute!

(5/16) Work day for Dad & me and school for the boys. Normally the boys have hockey after school, but D's eye was so swollen that Dad kept them home.  D carried around an ice pack all day, and kept asking us to take the black eye off.  Would if I could, kiddo!  Dad went to fetch a water heater this evening that a that a co-worker was getting rid of, since the new house's is shot.


(5/17) Work day for Dad & me, and school for the boys.  I got home late tonight, though I still had to go up and gripe at the twins to go the bleep to sleep a half dozen times. I love you, dear children, but nice mom clocks off after 8pm.


(5/18) Last day of preschool for the littles today.  They had a luau in class today.  They did crafts, made volcanoes erupt (their fave!), played outside, and then came inside to fruit kabobs.  We went out for celebratory donuts after and had a quiet afternoon in.  The twins were none too impressed that they lost their screen time the night before, since they were up and playing with Nerf guns well past 9pm.  I reminded them again at bedtime that they might actually want to stay in bed tonight.


(5/19) Work day for me, and Dad has the kiddos.  I helped set-up for the preschool's graduation tonight, and then had an event right after.  Dad had the boys at C's hockey practice until late too.  Long day for us all.


(5/20) Work from home day for me, and Dad has the kiddos. Busy weekend on deck, with hopefully lots of packing in between all our commitments!
