We've been up too ...

Remember a couple of months ago when I posted, "What's Two More"?? Well, I have gotten into the swing of watching a couple of extra kids. Don't get me wrong, I am not super woman. I have decided that this is not an easy job, my house is a lot more messy, I don't have much time on my hands, I am more tired ... I haven't gotten a nap since that very first post and when the kids are finally in bed I stay up all hours doing everything else I didn't accomplish from earlier, and I am so greatful for the extra money. These two, TWO year olds keep me hopping. The other day they put their artwork all over the walls. Thankgoodness it was washable marker and they - yes, I made them scrub - cleaned it right up!! They really are pretty good kids!!
Taylee and Tydon have both been "under the weather". Tay has a barking cough that can be heard a mile away and Tydon stayed home from school with a sore throat. Taylee has been filling our days and nights with treatment after treatment. I took her picture cause it reminds me of the good old days when I would spend my days and night keeping my parents up! My dad and I spent many hours and hours outside on the stairs trying to calm my barking! Love you Dad!

I have had an upset stomach all day today and kind of been feeling a little teary, so I turned on the Christmas Music and took pictures of these two cute little fella's ... they make me smile!

Just Like Grandma


Tonight Taylee helped herself to a Diet Coke from the fridge and then jumped into the bath. She washed, drank her coke and played for awhile. When she was done, she hopped out, giggled, and said, "Mom, I drank my diet coke in the bath, ... just like Grandma." This crazy girl sure keeps life funny!
