Back to school, finally!

What I’ve Heard in my Home Since December 16th:

  • Justin Bieber songs, on repeat.
  • The Mario theme.
  • “Mooooooooom, I’m hungry! I don’t WANT an apple or a banana or a string cheese!”
  • Mallory’s heeled boots, as she runs through the house constantly.
  • “You are such a brat! I’m never playing with you again!”
  • Selena Gomez songs, on repeat.
  • The Angry Birds theme.
  • The “beep-beep-beep” of the back door, every time it opens or closes. Which is constantly.
  • “How many more days until our birthday?”
  • Evil giggling, indicating sneakiness.
  • “You never play what I want to play! It’s not fair that we always play what YOU want to play!”
  • “Mooooooom, when can I have a turn on the computer?”
  • “I’m telling!”
  • Pablo’s ever present, “Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah! Hi-yo, hi-yo, hi-yo!”
  • Constant yelling. Nobody ever TALKS here, they just yell.
  • “Coming up next, on Disney Channel…” ::insert annoying clip of annoying show::
  • Three little girls, singing The Lazy Song over and over and over and over and over.
  • “Mind your own business!”
  • “She hit me back!
  • “When do we go back to school; I’m so bored! There’s nothing to do here!”
  • What I’m Hearing in My Home, Right Now:

  • The ticking of two different clocks, in separate rooms.
  • The hum of the refrigerator.
  • Cali snoring.
  • The passing bell at the high school down the street.

Bliss. I sort of want to go turn the stereo on, and listen to music THAT I ENJOY, but I think I need to bask in the silence for awhile longer.

Every Day I’m…

Shufflin’…through piles of laundry and Legos. Huh. I took this picture and uploaded it, but apparently forgot to post it. Isn’t my hubby cute? He made this sign at work and it cracked me up.

It's on a sign, so it's official.

Apparently, freezers freeze things.

Pauly brought home some goodies for Nikki and Lexi last night for their birthday – balloons, candy, and a bottle of sparkling cider. He had me throw it into the freezer to chill it, and we promptly forgot about it. Fast forward to this morning, when I opened the freezer door and found this insane [...]

Birthday Girls Are Seven.

Today was a pretty boring birthday, I have to say. I started the day with an epic migraine, and really, all we got done was getting haircuts for the girls and getting Mallory to Brownies. Also, the girls picked out a special birthday dinner. On the menu: Corn Dogs Chicken Wings French Fries Doritos Hot [...]

Angry Birds Derby Car!

Pablo and Paul did the Pinewood Derby race last night at Boy Scouts. They worked on Pablo’s car over the weekend and it came out so cute. Pablo worked hard sanding and painting the car. He wanted something special for his car, but we couldn’t find the right thing. We tried adding Lego guys, but [...]

Nikki and Lexi Turn Seven.

Happy 7th Birthday, Big Girls!

It’s time for my annual retelling of the story of Nikki and Lexi. Seven years ago today, I got up at the crack of dawn and kissed my 17-month-old twins goodbye. Grandma watched them while Paul and I headed to the hospital for my scheduled c-section. I sure didn’t want a c-section, and Paul could [...]
