So none of those things happened in January. Or February. Even including the extra day we had for Leap Year! And now it's March. The reason I can't get around to posting anything on this blog is that I'm spending all my free time lately re-rolling roll after roll of toilet paper that Riley got to. Ok, so that's not the real reason. But the days are just filled with a million little jobs and I seem to only get things done right before they absolutely need to be done. Like Annie's Cubbies homework. Good thing that girl has such a phenomenal memory or I would be so busted!
Since nobody is breathing down my back (here at home, anyway) to sit down and write, the days are slipping by. Riley has started to talk in sentences. Annie writes her name on everything. Their favorite thing to do is to turn off all the lights at night and run around in circles in the living room while blasting bluegrass music. Usually dressed like this:
Or like this:
Right now I'm enjoying the rare peacefulness that comes when they actually play with toys - instead of with, say, toilet paper or a tube of diaper rash cream. There's a peacefulness about that too, but it's an eerily silent peacefulness. One that I usually spend debating "Should I go see what's going on? Or would I rather enjoy this and just clean up whatever mess it is later..."
Anyway, I'm going to re-commit to posting once a week. But as for those 5 pounds... all this typing has made me hungry. For cookies, specifically.
Wahoooo! You're back!
