It's All Worth It

It's 9:19PM (as I'm starting this). Pupster and Kitty just finished watching a movie, while eating grapes and Wheat Thins and sitting in their makeshift beds made out of a laundry basket, a pillow, and a blanket. It was so cute.  Kitty has coordinated another Family Fun Night (You know from Lilo and Stich 2?).

Of course they were in pretend mode and pretending to be parent and child. Can you guesss who played each role? Of course, the eldest played the parent. She had all kinds of ideas of things that she wanted her "son" to comply with throughout the adventure. "Be quiet, sit up, lay down, let's go to sleep now, ok come on lets' go to xyz...." Fun to watch.

After the movie, they were off to the room and rambled around and fussed a bit and Kitty just walked in with her back pack on and Pupster with his "suitcase" and Kitty says "Hi Teacher. Where are the other kids?" I have to play the part and and answer as she said "You said bring suitcases and tie backpacks, right Mrs. Sissus? What are we going to learn about today? Then she says you have to say 'Hello children' then you have to say 'How are you all today.....and now you have to read us a story......." Of course with Monte repeating every word. Oh goodness. Too funny.

So I ask her to go get the book and she's off to the back pack to bring a favorite book.

I'll be signing out now.

Watching and participating in this tonight makes all the frustrations of the week double worth it!!

The fact that the school asked me to take Lamby to the doctor for what they believed was diarrhea to ensure that she was not contagious. Took off work to do so and the doctor sent a note home with me that says "Lamby does not have diarrhea, she has normal breastfed stools." It was very frustrating initially, but it was all worth it because she stayed home with me and I was able to work from home.

Going through Target with the kiddos to shop for a "few things" and explain over and over why we are only getting ONE treat for each child and we're NOT buying toys. It was all worth it because at least they were all fed before we got there. That would have been a nightmare if they had not. Anyone done that before?

I could go on, but the point :-) is (while I try to finish as Pupster TRIES to kick me in my back for more drink) that all those things are so worthwhile. Especially after the fun moments like this tonight.

Oh cute.....Kitty just said "I'm drawing a picture of us playing with Grandma while Mommy and Daddy are on a date."

The Pupster standing on top of the basket prentending to fall saying....whoaaaaa! I love the way he says that!

(While we're having this late night fun, of course baby sister is fast asleep.....this time)
