It's 1:30 and I'm still in my PJ's!

Today has been a typical day so far – although I wasn't awoken by a shrill scream this morning as I have been for the past week. That was a pleasant surprise! Jonah and Sadie actually got along very well this morning while Violet and I slept in. Of course the house was a total disaster area when I got up, but at least I got some much needed sleep.

Right now, Violet is sleeping and the kids are playing outside – with their umbrellas on a sunny, not-a-cloud-in-the-sky day, but hey, at least they're outside!

Jonah is taking a break from the "book" he is writing called "The Five Dragons." He's been working on it all morning. Maybe it will be a best seller and it will make us rich. Oprah, are you out there???

So yesterday a funny thing happened. I was sitting on the couch nursing Violet. Sadie came up and said, "Mama, can I have some "Nums?" (It use to be "nummy" but I guess now that she is a big girl of four, she's too cool to call it nummy. I told her she was too big for "nums" and that it was for Violet now. "Please, Mommy. Pretty please. Just a little bit? Just this much (holding her fingers together)? I'll take that one (pointing to the unoccupied breast)! It's so good." It was hilarious. She was so sweet and sincere but teasing at the same time. In the end, she was distracted by something else and let it go. Jonah, however, was upset that he couldn't remember what it tastes like and began to ask me if he could have some. There isn't enough money in the world for the therapy that would take to undo, for me and him! ;-)

That's all for now. It's too quiet out there. I must go check to make sure they haven't run away! Nevermind, here comes one now...and here comes the other...
