while Daddy's away...

Last night I had the tribe all to myself. I was not THAT excited about it since I had them ALL day too! My hubby had a meeting so I made the most out of it! He was home long enough to give the kids some smooches & to change into his game warden uniform then he was gone! {He is a Reserve LT with the Fish & Wildlife here in FL} I made them dinner & happily they ate most of it. SO happy about that. They have this habit of eating MY food after they eat there's. I just don't get it! They will say "All done" and get out of their seats only to help me finish off MY plate. Hmmm... They are pulling something over my eyes! LOL!



I had the honor of not only cleaning up the kitchen & dining room but also giving them a bath. I had to psyche myself up for that! haha! Usually the tasks are divvied up. I make the dinner, Daddy cleans up, I bathe them, Daddy dresses them. Tonight I was doing it all! Whew! While I was getting their PJ's & diapers together they were up to some mischief! Here's a few pic's to share. I have some WILD one's here! They LOVE to jump on the couch & then "found" a new roll of toilet paper! WOO HOO! Ain't life grand! Not only did they unravel more than half of the toilet paper into the toilet they flushed it too! Good thing it did not overflow! I would NOT have been a happy camper! Oh the things they get to look back on once they are older! As most of you know I get them to do things by either lying through my teeth {Terrible but true!} or just plain bribery. I either have a lizard or bird in my hand OR I'll give them some chocolate or better yet "Popcorn"!Boy did they listen when I said the "P" word. They are definitely related to their Grandma, my mom! She is one popcorn fanatic! Whenever anyone goes to the movies they will bring her back a bag! I told them whoever wants some popcorn needs to sit on the couch. WHOOSH they went! I walk into the living room with the 4 of them sitting nicely on the couch! I LOVED this! Why don't they do this more often?! We watched a "show" while they ate popcorn. What a night! Sometimes a fun time can be had...
