Weekend? What? It's OVER??????/

I can't believe Monday's on the horizon again already! Time flies when you're having fun right?

I got to spend lots of time hanging out with Mr. Bojangles so that's fine by me. He's so darn cute! Although it's not really all that long ago, I can't seem to remember many specifics from when the girls were that age. What were they doing, eating, playing at 18 mths???? No clue. Seriously. I'd have to scroll back through much blogging to find out and it's late & I'm tired. l0l

Murray & Andrew were part of an undefeatable team this weekend and won the hockey tournament they were in (or their division at least). Andrew had two shut outs and out of 4 games only let in 2 goals. This was no doubt largely due to the amazing defense skills of his big brother :) They both came home very happy tonight so that's the main thing. Too bad Rick missed it all.... ;)))

I was very impressed with Andrew's departure tonight! He got here & within about 15 minutes had everything in the car & was pulling out of the driveway. No messing around and he didn't forget a thing! I had Mr Bojangles all changed and started on his first bedtime bottle so he just needed his refill & they were set. (it helps to have an awesome SIL like me of course ;)))

Honey's been under the weather all weekend so that sortof slowed things down & limited our options a bit. She stayed in bed sleeping almost all day yesterday and a good portion of toay as well. She's had some fever on and off but nothing over 101. It's hard to believe how much she's gotten sick in the last month and a half. This can only lead to more people being sick later in the week. Hopefully I won't be one of them. Too much going on, I can't afford any downtime this week! Sale weekend is coming up, I have to bake something for the bake table for that plus get something for the church dessert auction to raise money for the Sunday School and for some reason we still only have 24 hours in a day. Can we not get that changed?????????

So having a 4th child for the weekend gave me no urges whatsoever. Andrew wondered if I'd get a hankering but I think I'm still all baby'd out from our early days. The thought of having bottles and diapers and feedings doesn't give me warm fuzzies whatsoever. When you do it our way, you get that stuff once & you're done with it. It seems so bizarre to me that most people have to keep going through all that hard stuff again and again. Every time I hear someone's adding another baby to the family, my first thought is always "oh mannnn they've got to start ALLLLLLLLL over!", as I smile and say "oh how exciting! congratulations!" hee hee! I also find it funny when people get all freaked out when they find out that our girls are all the same age. "Whaaaaaaaat? they're how old? No. what? they're... NO! they're NOT triplets! omigosh, that must be so hard. wow. I have three kids too but.... " My response is now "and what? you spaced yours ALL out? THAT'S CRAZY!!!!" (ok, this is how I amuse myself. I don't get to socialize much ok?)

Now lest you get the wrong idea, Mr Bojangles was no trouble at all! I adore him, I almost cried when he left. The girls doted on him and did anything I asked if it was for him. He was so well behaved. He had a little trouble when dad left him to go to the games but didn't have any long term freak outs. He went to bed like a charm, played nicely with the toys and didn't break or rip a single thing. This is more than I can say for my own crew! and have I told you how cuuuuuuuuute this guy is? No? oh well, then, by all means check out my favourite nephew! :)))

Ok, what's up with Sweetie and the wardrobe selections????

that's my turtleneck shirt she's wearing as a bizarre skirt...

and then there's this:

Now, I had to do some digging to pull up this top photo. It's from August 05, when she was ONE YEAR OLD.

THIS is MARCH 2009, almost FIVE years old now.... HOW is she still able to get on a size 18mths playsuit?!??!!? We do feed the girl. I swear. Anyone who's been to our house for supper can attest to this child's eating habits. She has obviously grown when you compare the two pictures. Admittedly, the suit is getting a bit snug & some of the snaps will come undone when she gets running around. BUT she can put it on AND do up the snaps.

She found it & just had to put it on and was in it all day. She even wanted to wear it to bed but then got too hot with her nightie on top of it.

After the boys got home last night we had a Rockstar party! Murray played guitar, I did vocals & Andrew was on drums. I started out on drums but after our band got booed off the stage 3 times in a row, I get reassigned and only got booed off once after that.

Best line heard during our Guitar Hero/All You Can Eat Junkfood party:

"I don't know. I can only look at my coloured balls right now"

Good times, gooooooooooood times! LOL

Mandy & Karen, your bday presents are en route with Andrew. There is a 2nd present in the bag for Karen (but I forgot to label it). Mandy your 2nd one will come at a later date because it's not ready yet but I think it'll be worth the wait.... at least I hope so!
