Is track break over yet?

OK, I have to be positive because my girls read this blog all the time. I love that we live in a cul-de-sac and the kids get to play outside all the time, but how hard is it to KEEP THEIR SHOES ON? I promise that I never let them outside barefoot, but somehow they always end up that way. By the way, I made them all crawl into the house for this picture and then crawl straight out back to the swimming pool to wash their feet off. Those little feet never touched my floor.

I feel really bad for the kids...this has been a crappy track break. We were gonna hang out by the pool, and go on bike rides all of track break, but since it has been cold and windy, practically the whole time, we kinda had to change our plans a bit. We even tried to heat the pool, but it turns out our pool heater is broken. The point is...I am exhausted from trying to entertain my kids! It has been non-stop: sleep-overs, late-overs, friends and cousins over, running my kids to friends or cousins houses, back and forth to Grandma's house, "Mom, can you play guitar hero with me", "Mom, did you make the cookies yet?", "Mom, I am SOOOOOOOOOO bored!" "Mom, can we have crepes for breakfast?" "Mom, Taylor and Blake won't let me in their club!" I'm laughing as I'm writing this because I am not even exaggerating! OH! And I wish I was the person who invented Webkinz...we have 4 computers at our house, and today I couldn't even check my e-mail because they were all occupied with Webkinz. Oh well, right?

I do have good news, though. Dylan peed (sp?) on the toilet twice today! She is so smart! She is only 20 months old. The only reason that it has been so easy is that she is NAKED all the time! I literally have to run her to the toilet every so often or she will pee on my floor (or my counter, if she's up there). I will have her potty-trained by the time she's 2 for sure! Yeah! I have been buying diapers non-stop for almost 10 years! Now, if I could just get rid of the pull-ups...

Lincoln wins hands down in the feet contest! Where the heck did he go that the others didn't??? Thats so funny you had them crawl in the house. you'll be laughing at yourself about all the pictures you're willing to take for the sake of the blog!

Kristen would LOVE to play with Blake!

Love the picture! I feel your pain. There is nothing like a break with nothing to do. Webkinz has taken over our computer too!

We have had our first year of 9 month school and let me tell you it ROCKS! (for now anyway) ask me how I feel about it when they have been home for 3 months in a row!! Good luck with the rest of track break. BTW they found Terrys truck and it is in the shop so I should have a mode of transportation by tuesday!!

It was nice to see your comment on my blog. I'm glad you have one too! I especially loved this post. Dirty feet are one of my pet peeves. I must say though, that's one cute picture of dirty feet. I'm also glad Shelby and Taylor got to play together during track break. I think Taylor is such a great girl!
