Why I haven't been Blogging Much



These videos are a fairly good impression of life around here at the moment. This morning was fabulous--girls played together independently until they started asking for their rainbow playdough--I even made bread! But should have put the flour away as you can see here. Then the rest of the day was a downward spiral, no naps followed by various rampages either doing damage to each other or their home. I liked Heidi's idea to turn my bedding into "Swan Lake" by spreading it all over the floor and surrounding it with pillow bushes, but Elsa had to up the game by overturning Una's bowl (again) for a real lake...just little things like that all day. Aunt Boo saved the day with a short skype session that got us through until dinner time--and she can bear witness to the mood of the day. March madness is right.

Video includes my little flour fairy (sorry, Mama) and Heidi's Gollum impression (she thinks she looks like a puppy, but Oliver and I were both struck by the Gollum-like posture and poise)--we thought it would be inappropriate to post her in Gollum-like attire, but you get the picture.

I love that Elsa is so dedicated to picking up all the flour (at least for that minute!). Are you putting it away? YEAH!
It's sad that misery loves company, but I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who wants to throw my kids out the window some days!
