our crazy week

This picture pretty much sums up how things have been going around here lately. This is Drew with a box around his middle and a bag over his head. He was running around in circles as fast as he could until he went full speed into the wall.

On Halloween night Lily bit into a glow stick and it exploded in her mouth. If you were wondering; yes, they are toxic. She spent 20 minutes at the sink rinsing out her mouth and spitting everywhere. Then, after drenching her costume, she wanted me to immediately wash the dress so that she could go trick-or-treating for a little while longer. It was 10 minutes past bedtime. Much to her dismay, trick-or-treating was over for the year.

Last night the kids did not like what I made for dinner. Okay, so Drew and Lily didn't like it and ended up only having carrots for their whole meal. Needless to say, Lily was hungry in the night. Rather than helping her get something to eat I mumble something about she could get a piece of bread and then wait for breakfast.

Today at lunch I was looking forward to having Cheetos with my sandwich. We never have them in the house and I'd given in and purchased some. Well, I went to get them and they were nowhere to be found. I called Tom and asked if he'd taken them with him for his lunch today. He said he didn't even know we had Cheetos and suggested checking Lily's room. Sure enough, they were there...in her bed...under the covers...a whole bag nearly empty.

Lily was getting ready for dance yesterday. She is required to wear clothes over he dance uniform. I suggested she wear the clothes she'd worn to school over the dance leotard. She said, "No! I like to show off. My favorite part of dance is to choose what I'm going to wear over my dance leotard." That clenches it. She is not doing dance again (after this year). I've got to sign her up to do a show at the local Family Children's Theatre.

 I was going to do a post about how crazy the kids have been but it turns out that Lily is the only one that made the cut into a story. Drew and Julianna have been crazy this week...but they have done nothing specific that I can recall that makes for a good story on the blog. They are just generally running around all day like they have bags on their heads. Lily has actually had a pretty good week....she just happens to sometimes give me the best writing material. I look forward to reading her memoirs.
