A Vacuum Cleaner Full of Silly Bandz and a Heart Full of Love

So Small has started crawling and when I say crawling I don't mean just starting to mosey around and explore a little. I mean a full on Jeff Gordon-oh my gosh where is he-speed crawl. Luckily it was just a week after we put up the Christmas tree. (Cue TAPS now) We have lost a few good ornaments, but we are making due. I think the tree was pretty much his inspiration for learning to crawl. Good Work, Baby Boy!! I am not much on cleaning...there are about 10 thousand things I would rather be doing. Thankfully, I have Lin to keep me in check! ;-) But after the third time one of the girls brought me a slobbery little dust bunny that they claimed to have pulled out of Small's mouth (you mean you rescued it from a bear trap....as if!) I figured it was time to put it in high gear. Since I am sweeping 2-3 times a day now you might not have to step on crunched up cereal if you visit the Animal House. Don't you worry, as soon as he is walking the broom and I are breaking up.



The girls got lots of Silly Bandz for Christmas (thanks to all of you for NOT getting the scented ones!!!) which is great because they love them. They count them and name them and trade them, it's really pretty cute. But I swear those things are multiplying. Every time I turn around there they are. And it seems like more and more of them. Are they breeding? Are they following me? Would she really notice if I threw out the broken one?? Small finds them to be quite tasty. I am pretty sure he can't choke on one but I would really have to laugh if I ever saw one in his poop. Anyway.....so I was vacuuming and usually the girls are no where to be found since they hate the noise. I saw the Hello Kitty paw but I was simply too lazy to pick it up. I knew nobody was around and they'd never know the difference. So I did it, I just ran it right over. And I almost got away with it (do you watch that show? I really like it...I know I'm weird).

Where did Medium even come from? Was she spying on me?? She screams MOOOOOMMMM, My siiiiillllyy baaaannndd!!! Seriously? It was ONE there are like 638 more all over this place! Just kidding what I really said was, "Oh my goodness, baby girl, I am so sorry that bad 'ole vacuum took your silly band!" I was rocking her and singing songs when Large comes running in with her hands over her ears (even though it was turned off) and a replacement Hello Kitty Paw stuck between her fingers. Sweet sister moment. I treasure those.
