Nudge The Nest & Pray They Fly
For. The. Love.
I went to the kitchen to get a drink nd left my lptop open. I’ve re-aattached aaaaall of the keys except for aaaaa function key I caaan’t find. And the “aaaaaaaaa” key only works if I press it reaaaally haaard. And I’m tired of deleting aaaaall the extraaaaaaa aaaaaaaa’s.
Aubrey: Momma, know how much I love you?
Me: As much as Moo? (Her very favorite stuffed animal she has had since her first birthday.)
Aubrey: Welllllll….I love you both the same.
My sister and her little boy Tucker have been at my house visiting for the last week. I haven’t had time to blog because, well…just look at the pictures. You’ll see.
Sadie realized she had the chance to be the boss of somebody.
My sister said, “WHY did he just sit there and let her play him like the bongos??” (I think it’s hilarious that her little hands were moving so fast they are just a blur.)
Tucker is an only child, for the time being, and he is not used to the amount of abuse Sadie receives on a daily basis from her big sisters. But it didn’t take him very long to realize that the Rules of Engagement are a little different around here. So my sister and I have spent our waking hours trying to keep the two babies from beating the crap out of each other.
Yesterday afternoon the girls and I hit up Sonic Happy Hour for slushies. I downed my Powerade slushie before bedtime, but the girls both had about half of their watermelon slushies left. We stuck them in the fridge last night and I promised them they could finish them today.
At 7:00am this morning I was sleeping soundly in my bed when I heard the thundering of two little feet, running through the house. And I’m not talking about the pitter-patter of little feet. I’m talking about full on sister war. I could hear them screaming, thrashing and throwing elbows as they thundered through the house screaming, “MOMMY!!!”
I sat straight up in bed as they burst through my bedroom door. Aubrey was hysterical. “MOMMA! Emma threw my slushie away!!!” She hiccuped.
Emma was screaming and clutching her slushie in a death grip.
“Get out of my room and go to the kitchen now! If y’all wake Sadie up you are going to be sorry!”
They ran to the other side of the house a little more quietly. I got up and followed them to find them laying in Aubrey’s bed, sharing Emma’s slushie.
“WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED?” I asked.
Aubrey: Well Emma threw my slushie out.
Me: Emma what did you do?
Emma: I frew Sissy’s swushie out da door…
Me: You threw it outside? WHY?
Emma shrugged. -I dunno. But we ahre shawing mine now Mommy. Here Aubrey…
Emma shoved her straw in Aubrey’s mouth and she slurped happily.
REALLY? I don’t like to speak or be spoken to before 10am. If they were going to work this out on their own did they have to wake me up? And what the heck Emma?? She actually went outside and dumped Aubrey’s slushie out before 7am.
FOR. THE. LOVE.
They just don’t know how lucky they are that their Daddy had already made coffee before he left for work!
How’d your kids wake you up this morning?
