Day Five: Friday

What is it that children do in there sleep that makes such a mess?!?

Ahhh, now doesn't that look so much better.

It's moving day...for Cindy our next door neighbor-adopted grandmother.

I showed Ansley how to call my cell phone 'cause the big girls are gonna stay in our house and watch movies and color while I help next door. I even left the pantry door open so they could get their own snacks and juice. Such BIG girls!

I put Ellie in the backpack and started moving. Once she fell asleep I just put the whole thing down and keep on truck'in. {This backpack is my object of affection for the day}

I guess this is what I get for thinking I could leave a 5 year old and 3 year old alone inside when you are outside busy working. At least they are having fun. Ansley even called me once just to see if it would work.

Had to take a coloring break. Ansley is getting pretty good at taking pictures.

This is how I found Rana after lunch. Poor kids, you'd think there parents would at least care enough to put them to bed...

...naw, but hey at least I told "Super Ellie" not to fly over her sleeping sister, and not to kick her, or bite her or even touch her. It worked for a while.

Someone else wanted to take a nap...see the lump...

That's our fat cat, she likes to sleep under the covers when it gets too cold. Spoiled, huh.

Daddy has had a rough week {that means we have too, but all the same} we thought we would cheer him up with a little afternoon snack of Chocolate Chip Cookies and a Coke.

A special Delivery for our favorite FedEx Man!

Bubbles are Miranda's forte. Its crazy how she can make her

spit into something so amazing and beautiful.

Gotta get the Friday-night Pizza dough going, and while I was at it I started bread dough cause we are out and the store is not an option this week. I love making bread though cause it is a nice way to work out the tension of the week and it smells so good, when it's in the oven.

Gam'ma and Gam'pa pop in for a much needed rough house session. On weeks like this when we see very little of daddy, mom's rough housing just does not cut it. These too however...well they are Gary's parents, someone had to teach him the ropes.

Look at all the action going on. It's craziness here!
