hand soap

brontosauri (brontosaurus plural)

m&m wrappers

and, last but, not least...

ROACHES

highlights of the day...

sayers had his first swimming lesson. he kicked/screamed & yelled "ouchy" for the 1st 5 minutes. the swim teacher then called me over to the pool & said, "mom, look. he's asleep floating on his back & SNORING"...

brown decided to "brush" my hair with his magic light wand...which promptly wound my hair around the spinny thing & took off a chunk of my hair :/

AND, the finale...sayers pooped on the kichen floor. i decided to spare you the picture.

a birthday treat...

an entire box of gold fish in the dog food bowl! deeelish!

diaper change

sayers just came in & asked me "mommy, you need your diaper changed?"...with the largest maxi pad i have ever seen. nice.

relaxation

does this look like a relaxing bath to you? just curious?

little emma...

she's the oldest of these crazy cats...and, is just about as sweet as they come! emma is such a great big sister...always kind to her siblings & very helpful to mommy & daddy. HOWEVER, she has a hoarding issue. i mean, does one REALLY need 100s of shopping bags filled with collectibles - polly pockets & my little ponies. there are hoarding piles in the backseat of my car with american girl paraphernalia & strange trinkets. a shrine next to her bed with stacks of books, dead flowers, old pictures, candy wrappers, jewelry & a styrofoam cup with a "w" on it. despite this small hitch, she is an all around great kid!

emma. meema. herosheema emma. iwo jima emma. noodle. little.

not sure how i could have left this picture off of mary frances' get-to-know-you page
