A Mellow Brick Road...: Welcomed Company

Mommy had just got out of bed, was drinking a cup of coffee, playing Lego's with the two of you when Aunt Dianna down the street called. She was in a panic, and needed Mommy to watch over her four little ones while she went to the dentist. Mommy told Aunt Dianna to drop them by, we would all be looking forward to some new company :)

You two decided to strip off all your clothes while Mommy prepared the crock pot with tonight's dinner prior to Aunt Dianna and her little ones arriving. Once they did arrive, you two ran around naked excited as can be :) Dakota, Nate, Norah, and Rowan were all watching you two, not quite sure what to think ha/ha Mommy brought out some beads so we could all make necklaces, that excitement didn't last long, well long enough for Buddha to spill the huge container all over the floor. We all frantically picked up all the beads so that baby Row wouldn't get a hold of any of them. Mommy loved holding baby Row for the couple of hours she was here with us... she wouldn't let Mommy put her down, and she wouldn't let her brother or sisters hold her. You two loved Baby Row, you both would pat her on her head and talk baby talk to her, however, you both got jealous after a while. Aunt Dianna didn't expect to be as long as she was, but we were having fun and getting along just fine. Well, Nate complained of being bored, he wanted to go outside. Mommy didn't feel comfortable taking six kids, four of which were under 3 years old, outside ha/ha Mommy didn't know Nate and Kota were permitted to play outside by themselves. We made it through anyway. Aunt Ti and little Lizzie stopped by, you both were happy to see your buddy Lizzie :) Mommy couldn't talk Aunt Ti into leaving Lizzie behind, she claimed that they were enjoying some solo mother/daughter time :) Mommy received cheers when I asked if everyone wanted mac and cheese. Mommy was taking drink orders when Aunt Dianna arrived...good thing, Kota and Nate are allergic to milk and they had ordered milk for lunch :0 Yikes!

After everyone ate, Mommy and Aunt Dianna allowed you all to play outside together for a while. After they left, you two were ready for a nap. We played a little longer and then Mommy got you both down for a nap around 1:30-2pm. You both took a decent nap, and Mommy got a shower in, as well as some laundry and I also picked up the house. Daddy arrived home between jobs, just as you, Buddha were waking up. Mommy took off for the "Minute Clinic" at CVS. My eye has been watering and oozing gooky puss. Plus, I just finished my antibiotics only to have all my sinus symptoms return. Sure enough, I needed more antibiotics to get me over this last little hump of sinus infection, not taken care of with the first round of medications, ugggh. My eye, thankfully, is not pink eye or any other contagious concern, it's my sinus infection creeping out... how creepy is that?!

Mommy arrived home from the "Minute Clinic" in time for Daddy to go to work. Mommy dished out some crock pot goodies for dinner and we all sat and ate. We then went to pick up Mommy's prescriptions, but that was a major ordeal... Daddy failed to give Mommy the updated medication card, so Mommy's insurance card was rejected, after sitting in the drive-up for 25 minutes with you two asking a 1,001 questions! We returned home and played the remainder of the evening. Mommy had you both tucked into bed by the time Daddy arrived home from work and picking up Mommy's medicines. Jude, you yelled for Daddy and he went and rocked you, only to have Mommy rock you again. You are finally asleep. Bodhi, you have got up a half dozen times and you are now laying next to me. Whenever the UNICEF commercial comes on, you say, "Ohhhh Mommy, help the sick little girl, ooh Mommy look at the sick little boy and baby, can't we help them." You are so my daughter! I have always wanted to sponsor a child since I was a very young child myself. Those commercials always got to me too. Daddy says he going to find away for us all to sponsor a babe :)
