It is late...

on a Friday night. Usually I would be standing in Lisa's kitchen talking about everyday life or what we were going to do with the kids tomorrow but she is back home for Jaye's appointment. They have only lived out here for 5 months but now i hate when she isn't here. We spend lots of time together...cooking, laughing, crying, talking, planning...while the guys work on the computer business they are starting. I miss her...I know it sounds corny but it has became our way of life. When we go to the store...we go together...when we go to the library...we go together...you could say we are like 2 peas in a pod.

So...on a happier note:

The other day I kept bringing Zoe inside from the back patio because I knew she was tired. Well every time i brought her in she would booty bump the door back open and go outside and lay down on the patio. Finally I gave up chasing her. After about 5 minutes I didn't hear her so i went outside and this is what i found...

YEP! She was sound asleep in front of the pool gate. I don't know if this was her peaceful stance at saying "let's get in the pool or I will stay here" (Cause the girl loves the water!) or if she really enjoys sleeping in the warm sunshine. It was too cute and totally made my day.

Now on to the other little blonde in the house...

Zada...what can we say?? she is Zada. Tonight she was up about 2 hours past her bedtime so she was edgy but I wanted her to stay up in hopes that she will sleep in until at least 8am tomorrow. I told her "Zada it is time for bed cause you are driving me nuts." And her response to me was "Mommy get off my nuts!" Tom and I could not help but laugh. It is amazing what will come out of the mouth of our cute little 3 year old. With all that said here is a cute picture of her...

Now to the "biggest of the little blondes" in the house...

Mercedes has been doing good in school, doing tons of homework, reading every night for at least 40 minutes, helping out and being the good kid that she is. She loves entertaining the little ones in her room for "after school parties". I make them treats, she sings for them and they play games. She had some dental work done this week and was a total trooper. They sedated her but she was still conscious but doesn't remember anything. She kept asking the dentist if he was the one that welded her mouth shut...it was too funny (and no she has never had her mouth welded!). And now here is a cute everyday picture that shows the real "Sades"...
