These pictures do not do it justice.

The boys room

Through gritted teeth I am writing these words.....I have learned not to try to keep my house clean on the weekends. Yes, after many weekends of insanity I am hanging up the "Keep your room clean on the weekend" towel. It is an evil towel. It is an impossible towel. Burn towel, burn. So, here are pictures of me letting them do their thing and knowing that I will have a lovely time on Monday cleaning it all up.

Bowling on ML King Day

Dylan seems happy with that turn!

I think the ball is a little heavy for Jonah.

Cierra taking time out to pose!

Dylan demonstrating his skills!

Awww...we love each other!

We went bowling a couple weeks ago. It was the first time the kids had ever bowled. They did pretty well, especially Dylan who managed to get a higher score than his mother.

My Million Dollar Idea

The babies have a very special gift of hiding sippie cups and remotes. Countless times during the day I am in search of these things. I enlist the help of Dyl, Cierra and Jonah and they usually find them pretty quick. Yesterday, however, all day I could not find the cable remote for my bedroom. I looked high and low and in every hiding spot that I know of. It vanished. Then today as I am doing laundry, low and behold the remote is mixed in with the laundry. What the heck?
And this morning I gave them each a sippie cup of milk...within a couple minutes they are nowhere to be found. Not just one of them, but two are completely gone. I must have been looking for 20 minutes. Finally Dylan found them both in the entertainment center behind the playstation. Also the downstairs remote went missing this morning and I find it UPSTAIRS in the babies's room in their play kitchen. I swear they are doing it on purpose...so this is my idea....a tracking device for sippie cups and remotes. I swear someone else has to have thought of this too. I can't be the only on playing hide and go seek with a TV remote. Can I????
