Sigh.........
my day, actually the last 3 hours of my day.............


Lily spent the day screaming



at everyone, for one reason or another... either Hanlin was touching her dump truck, or walked in "her" puddle, or her sister was sitting in the chair that was meant for pooh bear... At supper she actually put her hand up at me and said... "I can't hear you" .


grrrrrr.........

Just before supper, they were outside playing in the puddles.. lots of fun... but Hanlin would take a shovel full of mud water and slowly lift it over Lily's head as she was playing and then dump it in his dump truck... he could of taken a different route to the dump truck... but noo...over the sister's head was too much fun as it got a rise (aka scream) out of her everytime... UNTIL... she decided that it was one time too many, took a shovel FULL of mud water and purposely dumped it over his head...


He was NOT too happy, but he did stop lifting the shovel over her head!
then as I was putting screaming girl into bed, and giving Hanlin a shower (to wash the rocks out of his hair) at the same time, I asked the girls to wash and dry the supper dishes, suddenly I hear squealing and laughter and see Isabelle running upstairs for sanctuary.

Her sister decided to tape her up!!


she actually had to make herself "look mad" for the picture. She thought it was actually quite funny.
sigh........ thankfully the dishes did get done before the taping started......

and how can I be angry at these 2 little devils???
all showered and rock free!!!!!

All happy (after the exorcism) (and apologizing to the whole family) and ready for sleep..

Now for me????
I'm ready for this:
nice, smooth, warm and calming........4 Copas Tequila, and organic to boot!
