60 degrees!

I just would like to make a note that is was 60 degrees according to my car yesterday....AND the sun was out. It was a beautiful day to run errands and take a little stroll with Bellies.

And why is I go to the BX to buy mascara and $80 later I come out with a bag full of stuff and a new laundry hamper and tupperware?

The girls decided to skip out on swimming yesterday, it was beautiful and they wanted to ride their bikes....how could I say no? And so they did and then everyone came inside when the sun was going down. 4 other girls in our home, playing mums and dads and Bellies was even involved. She was cool with it for a little bit and then wanted to hang out with me while I made dinner.

Madison then found a thin mattress in my closet that goes with the little spring cot we have....I then hear thumping down the stairs....that's right....they were going down the stairs with the mattress....I was praying none of them broke their heads off. Thumps, occasional "ow's" since their bums would hit hard sometimes and laughter....then it was pretty hilarious when all 6 (we lost one since she needed to go home for dinner) were on the mattress trying to scoot it down from the top. Friends left without injuries thank goodness....

My girls were out as soon as they hopped in bed. It had been a fun filled 3 1/2 hours after school. I love it when my house has chaos in it....especially when my house is all cleaned, laundry put away and the only mess is in the girls' room that I can just shut the door to and dinner dishes, which really wasn't that bad since I like to use paper plates....yes you environmentalist probably hate that I go through so many plates...I figure I'm saving on water though. I then had time to fold the laundry and watch part of a movie....Dan came home after 9:15 and I was exhausted and so we went to bed which in the end was good since Bellies decided to wake up every hour and Madison had a nightmare so she came and slept in our bed. I'm thinking we need a king size bed next furniture purchase...especially when you're the person in the middle! It's a little too much love.

I love the part about you saving water by using paper plates. Way to go! A king size bed is probably a good idea. Especilly since you're girls are getting bigger. Maybe that should be yhe furniture purchase next year when you move back to the states it seems like every time you move you buy new furniture.

I would like to get a new bed, but chris said not yet. We only have a double bed right now and even then when a baby is in bed with us, not easy to get comfortable! :)
