...and the little girls sing "doot doo-doot, doot doo-doo-doo-doo..."Why does it all kick into high gear during the oh-so-precious night time hours?... my "can finally get it done, have some time to myself, I need to sleep too guys!" time, and it's not just the kids. Yesterday I suffered through the death-dealing gas and the most horrifying incessant burps (my own thank you) and yet, these are things I can do in my sleep. No, the exercise portion of that particular malady began at 1:32am. I know this because that is when my eyelids flew up and the "whoop whoop whoop" of my internal alarm system indicated to me that there was a fire down below. Between nursing twice, LaLa waking at 5:45 and my own sprints to the loo, that hour and a half from midnight to the moment I was hearing a strange man hollering in a Scottish accent something about how "she can't take any more Cap'm, she's gonna blow!" was the longest stretch of sleep I got. No matter how you patch it together, twenty minutes here and fifteen minutes of unconsciousness there will never a good nights rest equal. Dadguy did his level best though... bless his soul.
See? I only gave you some specifics.
The rest of the week is kinda hectic, kinda sad... it's a heck of a note that here we are with Dadguy's Grandma F, and I am just now starting to understand how very gone from mortality my own Granny is. Y'know, because I'm happy for her, I really am... it's just this hole that is left. Things can never be the same again.

Your girls look adorable. I love that the older two are totally unphased by babies crying. It's sweet. Sorry to hear about the sickness. I am the sickest one around here. Peter has been picking up a lot of the slack but he's also fighting a bit of a cold. Baby A is still battling the teeth pain... Hope things improve around your household soon!
Oh, sorry! Your recap is so cute, though. And look at those adorable girls (event he screaming one)!
How sweet are they? I swear, I can hear them singing,lol. I know about the pukes and I have NO idea it has to happen at NIGHT!
Your right about things changing and never being the same, but still we gone on. :(
I should have a witty and sympathetic comment, but that picture of the three girls keeps blindsiding me. They are just too adorable.
We have just finished the plague at my house! My sympathies!
I was so pleased to hear that one of my son's preschool buddies was struck with Chickenpox lastnight! If I have to deal with that plague...I might be in a straight-jacket and a padded room before month's end!!
Good luck with the rumblies!!
What a great picture!
