Thanksgiving VACATION

Having my parents here is even better than I thought it would be.. I haven't been blogging because I haven't seen my kids in a few days and can't record the funny things they're saying. It's been wonderfully quiet in my sanctuary of a bedroom :) Simon and I are sleeping a lot. He is out for 6-8 hour blocks during the night-- suh-weet! I am not counting my chickens or anything, but I am really enjoying the unexpected rest.

During the day we nap, take bubble baths and eat yummy food made by my Dad "the Chef". My mom is busy with the older boys and cuddles Simon as much as I will let her. I am trying not to think about the fact that they will eventually leave....

Besides the Tootsie drama, we've only had one other blog-worthy event. Zack drew on the dining room wall yesterday. Now we have a big, permanent marker masterpiece. Daddy scolded him when he got home from work and it didn't phase Zack. Nothing does. Aaron asked him WHY he drew on the wall with a marker, Zack matter of factly responded, "Because I didn't know you were going to see it." Sounds like our little trouble maker, alright. He's only sorry because he got caught...

At the end of the night, when the boys were in bed and Zack finally stopped crying because he couldn't sleep in his sleeping bag, I checked my email. I felt terrible when I saw this darling picture sent by Aaron's mom-- taken last September..

I found myself asking these two questions:
"How can I ever stay mad at that cute little face?"

and

"How is Aaron possibly the father of this albino child?"
maybe we should do a little blood work, just to be sure.

Wishing you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving....
