Oy Vay! My daughter! The big one... She was so sweet and funny earlier. Making up songs about staying away from Jumping Cacti and getting me to sing a-long and drinking her milk shake and helping with the baby and sharing the computer with her brother BUT.... She has such a hard time at bed time. I usually put them down at 8pm but it's usually 9 or 9:30 before SHE is asleep. Well, I thought I had her in there at least laying down quietly. (my son bless his heart was already asleep) So I'm on the computer paying bills and I peek around the desk and this girl is laying in the hall closet where we keep all the blankets and there's black shit all over the damn hallway. "What are you doing?" I ask and she says "I was making a trail." Okay Grettell (sp?) time to take your butt back to bed. But wait... what is that... her mouth is stained black. Well, you know those little legs on the backs of picture frames? Well, she found one somewhere, chewed it up and sprinkled the tidbits down the hallway before she planted her little butt in the hall closet. She's so grounded from the computer tomorrow.

We're going to RedFish tomorrow night for dinner and fun. We're helping our friend celebrate the upcoming marriage of her daughter, who's also a friend of ours. If you're in the area tomorrow night, look for the old man and I.

Sigh... laundry is calling, dishes are calling, vacuuming is calling.......

Brandolyn, during a much sweeter time. And good Lord! I thought Ava looked like her brother but holy cow, she looks like her sister. Ava's about the same age as Brandolyn was in these photos.
