Hadley's First Time Up the Chair Life...."I Love It"!!!

We're Having the Time of our Lives

We are absolutely having a blast as we're spending a week with Butde and Papa in Winter Park, CO. The girls are skiing maniacs - we can't get them off the mountain!

Wacky Wednesday

In addition to our wacky fence this morning, the girls had Wacky Wednesday at school in honor of Leap Year Day. Here are the wacky Deeble girls. Note all the clothes are on backwards. And yes it takes forever to fix three wacky girls' hair.

A Little Windy

So we are the first house at the top of a big hill. Our bedroom faces northwest and Dan and I thought our house was going to blow away last night.

I was joking that our fence was really not going to make it threw this one. For kicks I went and looked out the window. It took me a long time in the dark to find the fence. I kept searching and searching. Finally my brain processed it. This is what we saw. Oh the joys of buying a 30 year old home that was not taken care of. :)

A Little Peak at Sunday Night

So here was a first on Sunday evening. Dan was at church for the 5pm service with his whole backup strategy planned: one item of which was a plastic bag in his back pocket.

And I (Elise) was at home feeding the girls a nutritious dinner....cereal. At which point all three of the girls called out from the table "may I be excused". And I without even looking at them called weakly from the family room floor, "Yes, can you please just clean yourself up in the bathroom." I was so sick that for the first time ever I didn't care if they were covered in head to toe sticky stuff that would soon be all over the house. I just was not getting up off the floor.

Mom's should NEVER have to get sick. Especially if Dad HAS to go to work. It just isn't fair!

Our Poor Sick Baby

The Deebles have been battling the stomach flu now for 4 weeks. First Hadley got sick, then 6 days later Bri, then 6 days later Mia. Now poor Hadley was up all night from 12:30 until 4:30 throwing up again. So weird.

She asked to come up from the basement where she was watching tv to lie on the sofa. She was out within 5 minutes. If only mom could do the same.

Quote of the Week

So we were all down in the basement - Bri was watching TV, Hads was on roller skates, Mia was shooting hoops, I (dan) was lying lazily on the floor, and Elise was hanging drywall. I said to my daughters, 'Girls, do you even realize how talented your mom is? She can do SOOO many things that I can't do!'

To which Mia replies, "Like what, working hard?"
