SPRING IS HERE!! : )

Yeah!!!  FINALLY!!!  A few nice days to get out and enjoy the sunshine!!  I am SOOO PUMPED about the weather!  And so are my kids--Taffy included!!  We had to put a lock on the screen door in back so she wouldn't a.) escape  b.) let out the precious Zo-Zo  (they would escape too--BOTH of them)  

  I'm pretty sure that Aftyn is a "broken arm waiting to happen"--she can climb CLEAR to the top of the play area at the park behind our house.  That thing is clear over my head and then she'll go down the twirly slide by herself.  I usually send Piper up there with her but if she's not around then Taffy will go alone.  Her broken arm will be done either by herself or with the help of Teagan.  She can't seem to leave Aftyn alone, therefore, Aftyn's first sentence will most likely be, "TEAGAN, LEAVE HER ALONE!" or "TEAGAN, PUT HER DOWN!"  If it's this summer that she starts speaking full sentences, it may also be, "TEAGAN, GET OUTSIDE!" Any of those will work.    Piper decided this past week that she no longer needs naps--NOT GOOD!!  She does need naps and so do I (probably I need them more then she does)!  She and Teagan decided to go outside on Wednesday during naptime--HIGHLY against the rules!!  "But Mom, Chloe was watching us".  So I also need a security system just to set off an alarm in whichever room I'm taking a nap in when a door opens.  I don't need it to be hooked up to the police, just to me.  The problem with Piper not taking a nap is that there are TWO kids to think up trouble ( and prevent ME from taking a nap) and she can be EVIL!! when she's tired.  I know, I know.  She looks soo sweet and she can be BUT WATCH OUT!!  I swear sometimes that her head will spin around when she's in a MOOD!!   So the truth comes out--this is why I keep having kids--its an excuse for me to have 12 weeks off(?) a year and  so I can continue taking naps.  I've gotten a nap for 9 years now (actually longer) and I'm not sure what I'm gonna do when Aftyn grows out of them--I guess we'll start adopting!!   I'm not sure why I don't have any pictures of my other kids--they were outside also.  I'll work on that and include them next time.  I have a MILLION of Piper and her crazy faces--she won't let you hardly take a picture unless she's SILLY!!  --enough for now...-AS
