It's Snowing Outside but we have Merryweather Inside

in 2003, my sister made the cutest costumes for her girls. They were the three fairies from Sleeping Beauty, Flora, Fauna and Merriweather. Last winter, when we were visiting, my little sweetheart was the happy recipient of the (albeit rather worn) Merriweather costume. This morning mommy repaired the skirt and my little girl spent the whole rest of her day until nap time dancing in the living room and twirling in her new "princess dress". Of course, her little brother couldn't help but join in and even the dog got extra loving. Even though we're at the beginning of a nasty snowstorm outside, I always have Merry-weather with my little sweeties around me.

Sick Kids = Spoiled Kids

Now that the kids are recovering from being sick for the last week, they're having a hard transition back to our daily routine. It's hard for them to accept that they don't get to climb in bed with Mommy at any hour of the night, aren't held the majority of the day, don't watch cartoons (except Sesame Street during breakfast), and are, for the most part, restricted to one bath per day. Oh the hardships one must endure to learn to entertain one's self.

My laundry multiplies like rabbits

I am sure that my little girl has GOT to be stuffing the hamper with clean clothes when I'm not looking because how else could I possibly be having to do a load of laundry a day? I guess they're kids, so they're clothes are usually dirty. Plus, I HAVE kids, so my clothes too, are usually dirty. Now that I think of it, Daddy IS a contractor so more often than not, he's dirty too....with all this dirty business plus having three of us sick all last week (translate: snot on EVERYTHING), the poor washing machine is on more often than off.
