Lazy Weekend

The kids and I have spent a lazy weekend bumming around the house.

We got snow Friday night and most of the day Saturday, so I wasn't keen on venturing out. Today I can definitely tell we've been in the house a tad too long. I'm regretting not bundling us all up and heading over to the mall playland like I had intended, or to the Burger King playland for dinner. But large piles of laundry beckoned to me. As did the idea of actually having some clean clothes to wear.

Now the laundry is finally done and it's already 7 at night. Too late for us to venture out. Caleb is working on the teeny bit of homework he has and then I'll be sticking him in the shower.

Lorelei took her shower earlier today after getting a wad of gum stuck in her hair. In case you were wondering -- styling mousse -- is absolutely wonderful for getting gum out of hair. Rub in, comb out. In about 3 minutes she was positively gum free. I was just happy I didn't have to butcher her hair or resort to a peanut butter mess.

Speaking of Lorelei -- boy is her mouth getting sassy! The constant shriek of, "Mommy" and the tiring "do this for me NOW" thing --it's just not working for me.

And yesterday, upon seeing that Max had chewed up one of her Barbie magnets she said the following, "Did the dog chew this up?" And I replied affirmative. To which she replied, "Damn dog!". Mommy needs some soap.

George will finally be home sometime tomorrow from his conference in Vegas. I'm looking forward to having another couple of hands around the house. The last few days have been very tiring for me. The kids will be glad to have him home as well.

Oh, and in a few weeks we'll be registering Lorelei to start cheerleading again. She's very excited!
