Weathering Ups & Downs

This month's weather has been nuts. So far we've had bad wind, mild rain, a triple digit heat wave, and now it's barely 70, leaving me cold & shivery. The weather is nuts.

This weekend I wasn't able to sleep in until even 8 o'clock, as my youngest two woke early, and the elder two slept in. Evan stayed up late, so I let him sleep in as well. At least I recognized that the kids weren't going to cooperate this weekend, so I was able to force myself to go to bed early.

Lash is going on a school trip tomorrow to an environmental camp, so he won't be home all week. He's very helpful, so we're all going to miss him, and probably be frustrated as hell as well.

Tasmia has been blowing raspberries all day. They make her happy as she cruises along slapping the furniture as she passes.

Aeia is currently drawing pictures. She loves to draw. We continue to butt heads about the cleanliness of her room. It's worse than mine used to be.

Rael has been begging to watch various movies. He watched & enjoyed Cloverfield, which he calls "Spider Yarr." He also enjoys Sesame Street Dinosaurs, which he calls "Melmo Yarr." He also likes the various Jurassic Park movies, all of which are "Yarr Park."

I let Evan get his birthday present early this year, which was the Rock Band music video game. We played together for a few hours Saturday, and he and the kids have been enjoying themselves together as well.

Rael turns 3 this week, so I'm making chocolate cupcakes for him on Saturday after Lash gets back. He'll get his presents then as well. We're looking forward to it.
