What went wrong?

Have you ever had a close friend or family member that has done or is doing something so incredibly stupid that you just want to beat some sense into them?

I have a few of those right now. Some offenses aren't as bad as others, but some are so bad they could land themselves in jail. Please pray for these individuals eyes to be opened and for God to keep me in check the next time I'm face to face with one person in particular.

Alli: No. Who.
Me: Your daddy is my prince.
Alli: Oh. Whose Rachel's prince?
Me: Uncle Dustin is her prince.
Alli: Who is Natashia's prince?
Me: Jeremy is her prince.
Alli: Oh. Whose my prince?
Me: (why didn't I forsee this coming?) We don't know yet.
Alli: Is my friend Cason going to be my prince. (Sorry Cason!)
Me: I honestly don't know.
Alli: hmmm. Well, I need to tell Daddy that he is your prince.

DSAT--Buddy Walk

My nephew Jordon has his first Buddy Walk with the Down Syndrome Association of Tulsa this Sunday! The girls and I are going up to do the walk with his team! We are pretty excited to be able to support them in this. My aunt has a page set up (linked above) to help raise money for the cause. They are not doing as well as they would like, so I'm shamelessly plugging the effort. If you have a few minutes and you want to help out a great cause, your support would be greatly appreciated!

Long days

Michael has been working some doubles lately. Last Friday, today, this coming Friday. It sucks now, but the extra $ will be nice. We've strayed away from our FPU teaching and with Christmas coming up the extra will help. A double means he works from 7a to 9p. When you have 2 little daddy's girls, it makes for a long day!

Today I'm pretty sure Piper was trying to tell me something along the lines of, "you can't make me, you're not my dad." I was sweeping the floors and running the steamer and she was trying to run in between me and the steamer handle. Not exactly safe when steam blowing out. So I got on to her and told her she had to stop. She proceeded to shake her hand at me and chatter something about her daddy while shaking her head at me. It was very hard not to laugh.

Alli starts asking about 2 if her daddy is on his way home. Usually she does ok when I tell her Michael will be working a long day. Other times she informs me, "that really stinks, mom."

Tomorrow they have MDO!!! I'm excited since the last 2 weeks they have only gone 1 day. Since this is fall break, they will only be going one day as well. Which means I must enjoy tomorrow to it's fullest!

Really?

Note to self: Do not get distracted before putting a diaper on Piper after a bath. She WILL poop in your floor. If you try sitting her on the little potty while you clean it up, she will probably get up and pee in your floor. Twice.

Lesson learned: No more "free" time for Piper.
