In a bad nude

Avery's quote of the week, "Ugh! Bubby is in a bad nude!" And that's about how last night went. Here Justin and I were, looking forward to doing something as a family for once, and all the kids did was complain! Alex was fine but the other two...oh my. Avery was mad because "Jasmine doesn't wear clothes under her clothes!" Trying to explain to her that Jasmine lives where it's warm didn't get me anywhere. Trace was grumpy because none of his costume ideas passed inspection (no demons allowed) so he made us pay. He and Avery picked at eachother all night, which makes for a LONG night. Not even bags of candy could cheer them up. They even "hated" pizza for dinner! Why do our kids have to suffer from hangovers every time we do something fun with them?

Oh, and her too

This morning Avery put on her fake smile "grown-up face" and our conversation went something like this:

A: Mommy, I'll love you and Daddy and Tracer so much forever!

M: Are you forgetting someone? (pointing to Alex)

A: Oh, and her too I guess. (not said with the fake smile)

And then on the way home from lunch with Daddy I heard the baby gasping and Avery laughing. Probably not good. Avery was dropping filled straws of ice water all over Alex's face. When I asked what she was doing her reply was "Giving her a bath, duh!" All this before 4:00 and our day isn't even close to being over!
Hopefully this isn't a preview of what's to come years from now. I didn't have a sister, well not a real girl anyway. Chris is pretty close. :) I've heard stories from my friends and they haven't been pretty! We shall see...

Be patient, I'm new at this

So I'm sitting here with plenty to do but still bored out of my mind. I needed to check out a friends blog and decided that since I'm paying for a site that I don't keep up I'd start one on here. She can help if I'm lost, right? Wish me luck!
