What?

That is precisely what I gather Katie is saying to me as she turns

to pose for this picture I took of her a few minutes ago.

I left the room for a moment to put lunch in the oven, and

when I return I find Katie here. Obviously this isn't where I

left her. I left her clear on the other side of the room.

Movin' and Groovin' Katie

When I want her to sleep in she won't!

But when I NEED her to get up at a reasonable time...

this is how I find her.

Then of course I have to be a "mean" mommy and make her get up.

It was after 8am, by the way. It's not like it was her usual 7am.

Time to build...

Grace loves to build...

When the legos were first dumped out...

After the building is complete.

I think it's about time...

I make another post. Don't you? I can't sign in at work anymore, and that's just about the only time I get enough access to a computer to do this. However, I woke up early today, and mom still has the girls, so....
Nathan decided to tell me last night that he wants to make our "tv" room the bedroom and our bedroom the "family" room last night. I spent all of last night, and most of my awake time today trying to figure out what color I'll repaint the bedrrom so it will go with that lovely scarlet furniture. It will no longer be in an ohio state themed room, so I might just go with a tan similar to what's in the living room. Oh, and our bedroom will just be Ohio State themed... lol. How romantic! @@

Not a big Halloween fan, but...

I can never resist dressing up the girls and

letting them get free candy!
These are this years costomes.

Grace as a princess

Katie is a flower

bath time

Not enough time in a day

I'd love to post more, but with only one computer and a game hungry husband, there's just not time. I feel guilty when I take the time. I will try to post when I can though. Check in soon, I hope.

I had to post this!

Nathan NEVER does these kinds of things, EVER!!!

So, I being the crazy person I am took full advantage of him

saying we would do "wahtever I wanted" for my birthday!

Nothing like photo evidence, eh? I had a wonderful birthday!

Even got a call from Regina and her beautiful kids singing

Happy Birthday to me! That took the cake, by the way!

So much fun!!!

I love it when I get to just play with the kids all day! The laundry's pretty much caught up, I cleaned yesterday, so other than eating, feeding, and picking up the toys afterwards... It's a play day! At least until I go into work later. ~lol~ So, why am I on here? Katie's napping, and Grace is having snack. I will soon be playing again. I love days like these!

Reason not to leave a 3year old alone for 2 hours...

This is not what you think, it's worse. Grace dumped an entire bottle of Huggies baby lotion on the chair in Nathan's Buckeye room and rubbed it in. Nice, huh. Now you probably want to know where I was, right? I went out with a friend for a little bit. Oh, and Nathan was glued to his "pirate" game on the computer. Thank God for Rug Doctor. I think I've pretty much gotten it out. These moments make me re-think ever taking a "mommy-break."

Ok, ok, ok, I'm getting up....

Yawn... Stretch. Ugh, I really dislike the last day that I've worked because I try not to let myself "oversleep." I want to sleep some so that I can be somewhat coherent for the daily activities that always have to be performed. So today I went to bed at 10am and am now up at 2pm. I can't wait to crawl in bed again tonight. I really miss having a warm body next to me, as obviously I sleep alone when I sleep during the day. Shockingly enough, Nathan even complains that he misses me. Didn't think there would ever come a day... and can't wait for the night. lol

This is exactly what I feel like this very moment!! lol

So tired...

This is my last night of six straight midnight shifts at the hospital. I want to go to sleep so badly. I guess it's a REALLY good thing there aren't any windows in this prison known affectionately around the hospital as "PBX."
