ROUTINE of the Day:

5:15 Ellie & Rana come into our room to cuddle

5:30 gary's alarm goes off

6:00 I think the girls & I must have fallen asleep again

8:00 WOW! I am awoken by the sound of the girls playing in Ansley's room.

11:00 girls dance at NVDC

12:00 go to DEQ

1:15 leave DEQ, skip library(Ellie & Rana fell asleep), get cheeseburgers for Ansley & I,

get gas at Costco,

1:40 little girls smell cheesburgers and wake up so...

get cheeseburgers for Ellie & Rana, Albertsons

okay my disclaimer: we were challenged not to shop this week but I am a coupon shopper and there were 4 that I needed to use at albertsons. I justified this because it is all food storage items and none will be consumed this week, but a deal is a deal: I paid $8.52 for $30.61 of groceries HAD TO BE DONE!

2:45 finally get home

3:00 girls play & I do our food storage inventory
4:20 Ellie comes into garage to say "Hi" then proceeds to pee all over the floor,

say "sorry mommy" and walk out - brilliant

6:00 gary gets home

6:20 eat dinner

7:10 put Ellie in bed & cuddle with the girls watching the Blazers get beat down

7:40 Rana gets in trouble and goes to bed early & alone -huge punishment for her
8:00 Take Ansley to my bed (cause Rana is still throwing a fit) and do my exercises

9:10 read my Scriptures & fall asleep

Favorite CONVERSATION of the Day:

{cuddling with Ansley on the couch watching the Blazer game}

gary: "Are you cold or hot honey?"

ansley: "My head is hot and my hands are hot."

note: she has become a cocoon in a big blanket at this point

gary: "But are you cold?"

ansley: "Yes, my head and body are cold."

gary: "I thought your head was hot!?!"

ansley (losing patience with the questions): "I'm just hotish-coldish, dad."

BEST Moment: Miranda's dance teacher came out of class today to tell me how good Miranda was doing, even with he other girls being hopped up on crazy juice! Go Girl!

WORST Moment: Ellie had two accidents, bite, hit, screamed, and was just all around difficult all day long!

Today's object of AFFECTION: Krista gave me a copy of one of my favorite 'happy' books last Christmas, "The Story of Babar: the little elephant." Well this little book has brought me more happiness than she can know. It has become a favorite of the girls and while small and short, keeps them occupied for at least 15 minutes. YAHOOO!

love how I caught Rana picking her nose!
