out of words....

i think that quite possibly the best way for an 8 year old girl to spend her afternoon, is to spend it using her easy bake oven.  olivia was busy for hours!  of course there were only 5 cookies when she was finished....

my dearest olivia....she plans on opening her own bakery, you know...

griffin stayed much more focused in his 3 year old gymnastics class.  of course as i was getting him ready to go, i asked him, "are you going to gymnastics?"  to which he replied, "i go nymnastics with mommy?"  that made me feel bad.  i suppose he didn't notice me trying to keep up with him and manage olivia and ella at the same time last week.  he was just having fun....which made me wonder, what was going through his head from 9:45 to 10:30 that day?  i'm pretty sure he was giggling as hard on the inside as he was on the outside. 

they are only 2 once....and that is kind of sad....kind of....  geepers creepers i love this kid!  he's my lion.  and he is most certainly the king of his jungle.  plus, his hair looks like a mane when he wakes up.  :)

so i've been thinking a lot about what i'm going to do with all of my stuff when we move to africa.  i really don't want to take any of it with me, yet, i can't seem to part with it.  i'm pretty sure no one is going to volunteer to keep it for me....for crying out loud, i don't even want it.  why can i not part with my junk?!?! i have a problem....not like the kind of problem that would qualify  me for the show hoarders...but a problem nonetheless.  i do like to watch that show, as it makes me feel better about myself. 

well, i got to the end of this day and i have very few words left.  which is sad, because i said very little.  unfortunately, i said those few things over and over and over again.  no, you cannot have any lucky charms...we are out of lucky charms.  we don't have any lucky charms.  you ate all of the lucky charms.  mommy hasn't gone to the store to get more lucky charms.  stop trying to climb the gate to get into the kitchen, there are no lucky charms.  no, i cannot put lucky charms in that bowl.  i don't think you NEED lucky charms.  ella can't have lucky charms either.  there are NO lucky charms.    the really depressing thing about this is that i am not going to the store until sunday.  so i have to repeat this conversation tomorrow, saturday, and then again sunday....as i shop in the p.m. not the a.m.....  i also said, ella don't go in the bathroom.  no, no ella, we don't go in the bathroom.  please get out of the bathroom, ella.  griffin close the door so ella doesn't go in the bathroom.  hudson, close the door so ella doesn't go in the bathroom, olivia close the door so ella doesn't go in the bathroom.  repeat this paragraph about 8 more times and there's my day in a nutshell.  i'm going to bed now....
