Daddy's Home!!!!

Dave has been gone a lot lately.  He was in Hawaii earlier this month for ten days, yes he has a tough job.  Then he was home for five days that were super busy, it was as though he was not even here! THEN, he left again for eight days to Colorado.  It made for a very long December, so far.

When he got back from Hawaii, early in the morning, I got all the kids up at 6:30am and loaded them in the car.  On our way back we had breakfast at Village Inn.  It was OK... the best part was just having him back! 

With Dave being gone so much it made it very difficult to get Christmas shopping, family pictures (for our Christmas cards) and the daily routine done.  However, I have some great people around me who gave me a break and I was able to live through it.... oh and my kids too :)

on a side note: When he finally got home from Colorado the girls and I all got sick with nasty stomach flu.  Thank goodness he was home to take care of us!!!


ps.  I was happy to see that Dave wasn't very tan from his Hawaii "work trip".  That would have made it hard to have him come home :)

Silly Kids

Milli and Mylo play together really well.  While Leah is at school they don't need her to entertain them.  A few days ago, while Abuela and I were having some mate cocido (Argetine drink), Milli and Mylo came in looking like this....

 It made us laugh! 

(Check out her feet)

I love their imagination and best of all their friendship.  They will often gang up on Leah and stick together... That's what siblings do, right?

Fun with the blow dryer

I really like my blow dryer.  Its not fancy or anything like that. 

But it sure makes Milli's wild hair pretty... 

and Mylo's hair wild  :)

Mylo's hair stayed like that for the next day at school.  Milli's hair was just as wild as ever in the next morning.

My two little men

I love these two monkeys!!!! 

They are sweet and cuddly and handsome and best of all they don't have drama. 

Gotta love'm!

Two birds with One stone

I had to clean the house, cause you know... Dave gets home tomorrow :) and I wanted to snuggle with Otis.  Well, this isn't snuggling but it still counts as spending time together with  my favorite youngest baby boy :)  Then I sat at the computer for one minutes (seriously, that was all it took to get him to fall asleep!)

The down stairs of the house is tidied and now I can get the upstairs taken care of once the kiddos go to bed.  I have to pick Dave up EARLY tomorrow so there is no chance of the house getting messed up while we sleep, at least I hope that is the case. 

I have a picture of Mylo in this same position.  I should go search for it :) 

Life just isn't fair!!!

How he's having fun and working hard!

Do not leave this child alone...

This child (aka Milli) is always getting into trouble. ALWAYS!  If I don't have my eye on her at all times she is making mischief.  The other day, while getting dinner ready, I found her with my make up bag open and as happy as could be.  She had put on make up all by her self.  The big stripe under her eye is mascara.  All I could do was smile and tell her she looked pretty... Not the best thing I could have said, but she was so happy that she was radiating beauty.  She melts my heart... plus we are "friends," how could I possibly get mad at her?!?!

She can also be found on any counter.  The other day she came over to me and her head was sopping wet.  I could not figure out how that was possible.  Then she showed me what she did... She fills the bathroom sink with water and dips her head in the water.  I was trying to show her my "mad" face and all she says is "You SOOOO Jappy" Well, yes, I am happy that she keeps my day to day fun, but not happy that she is turning my hair gray (I have like twenty gray hairs :)  I owe it to Milli and the others, but mostly her).

I love this child, but I cannot take my eyes off her!
