We saw a house that was burning down this morning on the way to school. Macie was distraught, worried that HER house might burn down. Then she said, "Did the house stop, dwop, and wowull?".

You know you're old, married, and utterly exhausted by work and 3 kids when you're in bed at 8:45p on a Friday night, talking about how you could potentially get 10 hours of sleep.

What happens when the girls are left on their own while Dale and I watch the basketball game...

When I left the room 1 minute earlier, all the toys were IN the bucket...

Why do I, one of the two authority figures in our home, feel like I have to hide the fact that I'm recycling some of the girls' old (and falling apart) books?!? Oh, yeah. It's because I know that if I told them, we would then have to go through the IT'S-MY-FAVORITE-IN-THE-WHOLE-WIDE-WORLD-AND-I-CAN'T-LIVE-WITHOUT-IT drama.

Ivie had gotten quiet upstairs, so I went to check on her. Turns out she was organizing my shoes. She is her mother's daughter...

Just saw a school crossing guard at the corner near day care. Macie said, "Mommy, can you give some money to that girl?". Confused, but compassionate.

Buggy, why must you choose the very second I sit you on our WHITE bath mat to spit up your ORANGE vegetable beef dinner?!?

At basketball game. Announcer says "Time out on the court.". Ivie asks Dale if the players got in trouble.

Clearly enjoying his first Mizzou basketball game. (I'm sensing a pattern.)

Stuck at the airport with a cancelled flight. Wonderful. At least we don't have 3 hungry and tired kids, ages 5 and under. Oh, wait.

My youngest daughter has eaten the following since our arrival at the airport 5 hours ago: 4 Starburst, mini bags of both pretzels and Chex Mix, a large bag of BBQ chips, approximately 30 mini marshmallows, and now a Ring Pop. Al, I'd very much appreciate it if you could find those bags.

On the positive side, the hotel room has a fridge for B's four bottles of fresh breastmilk. Phew.

Mommy had to rely on my Aunt Bobbie for a handmade crocheted Christmas bib. Nifty, huh?!?

I think the Keva Planks might end up being more of a gift for me than for the girls. Behold, my first tower...

As Ivie rode off on her bike to play with a neighborhood friend, I told her to be a good girl. She said, "I will, Mom. You can count on me!"
