This brings joy to my heart
My baby daughter, Olivia, is in this Baby Einstein bouncer thing with all of these toys that hang all around it, cooing and laughing as she bats around these toys, totally content in her playing alone. My toddler, Gianna, notices in one of her many laps around the diningroom notices that Livy kicked off her sock, so being a good big sister she tells her to put her sock back on!
Out of nowhere Olivia starts laughing hysterically all because Gianna is holding her sock and yelling to her "SOCK!". Gianna cant figure out what her problem is and why she wont just put her sock back on and stop laughing at her so she continues to yell out "SOCK!" holding it in the air and Olivia laughs so loud in the cutest, funniest laugh. It occurred to me how happy that my children make me at that very moment. Thank you kids :)

This is funny
She makes this huge mess in her room then lies down and takes a nap, not in her bed, on the floor in the mess!

Busy Day
I decided to run my errands yesterday with the children, hoping I can get everything done by the time DH came home from work. So we made it to the craft store and Giant Eagle. Im happy because my bill was approx $180 and after my coupons and sale finds I got it down to $96!! Besides that the children were insane. Poor Jimmy had to push the cart with the groceries and the girls were in their own cart. Next time Ill take the double stroller and a cart where they're better strapped in, it was crazy.
Well after that many hours of craziness I had no plans for dinner and DH was hungry on his way home so I figured we would just have dinner out. So we went to TGI Fridays and my babies are getting so big! Gia can consume a whole child's meal herself and share our appetizers as well, Jimmy ate ribs and wanted extras ordered. lol
I really need a new camera

Best dessert ever
I sliced up fresh peaches and pears. Drizzles honey over them and put on grill for a few minutes on each side. I topped with a mixture of plain yogurt, cinnamon, and brown sugar. I also sprinkled with nuts. Really good!
Then I took store made chocolate cookie chip dough in a roll and pressed in into a square brownie pan, baked for about 25 min. Drizzled with butterscotch, sprinkled with coconut, and crumbled up granola.
I think the dessert is going to be better then the dinner :)

Children are lovely
This will be the third day in a row Ive gotten less then 5 hours of sleep. Here are my list of complaints:
1. DH's company downsized big time and he is 1 of 8 ppl left that was not laid off. So he has been working long hours the last couple days to fill in for the missing staff.
2. Now worried he could possibly be laid off we are actually considering moving a year earlier then we planned to a better living/school location and to where a better job for him would be. Which to tell you the truth may be a blessing in disguise so I'm just going to roll with it. Its a long distance move
3. Gianna is in between potty training and twice now this week we put her to bed with her diaper and she pooped. Instead of the usual, letting us know she pooped, she took it out of her diaper and threw it! So its one of these... DH:"Do you smell that?" ME: "Oh NO!"
Yeah wonderful huh. Monkeys throw pooh and so does Gia. So that's a 10pm bath and sanitizing of the bedroom going on.
4. DH buys me 2 candy bars last night and was gracious enough to give one to Jimmy. On the 'promise' he wont eat it until after lunch today. (???WHAT! He's 7! He's going to run upstairs and eat that!) So anywho, I was right, of course. DH yells for the child and he comes down wearing the evidence on his shirt and face.
5. Just getting up to bed now around midnight guess who else is wide awake with us? Did you guess Jimmy?
6. Olivia is teething and has been waking up through her naps and the night screaming. I've given her Baby Oragel , Baby Motrin, teething rings...nothing is helping. I'm actually going to take her to the pediatrician tomorrow to make sure her ears are ok.
7. When DH left for work at 6:30 am this morning, Jimmy was already awake! And went in to wake Gianna up! After us being up half the night with Olivia.
So there you are...Three sleepness nights, three little children, 2 tired overworked parents. I keep praying for a break from our mess.

Hershey Vacation
Im so undecided about where we should stay when we go to Hershey. We are going to leave here either Thursday night or Friday morning and go to Dutch Wonderland on Friday. Hersheypark and Zoo America on Saturday and then Cocoa Castle and something about trolleys DH wants to check out on Sunday. I dont want to spend a fortune on lodging seeing how we wont really be hanging out during our trip. Plus I need to save funds for Disney World in the fall and Sesame Place in August. We should be pretty poor come Christmas. Thank god I already startimg buying their gifts!
