satruday morning....the ontis house....11:19am....
kaila is at the table in the frontroom doing a jig-saw puzzle, bradley is running around with elizabeth having a great time...she has grown so much and can play a lot more than when she was little. this is the time bradley used to be so excited for....when elizabeth is old enough to really play.
todd is helping kaila with her puzzle, playing with bradley, and throwing elizabeth in the air, all at the same time it seems, he is sooooo good at playing with the kids. i used to think i "forgot how to play", todd brought it back out in me and you can find me on the floor playing with elizabeth and her "guys" doing the voices and everything.
mr. pootie pooped in kaila's bed last night, that cat is SUPER lucky that he is like a kid to us and we love him like we do. when we took him to the vet to see why he was randomly shitting in places she told us that "he had an attitude problem"...there was no medical reason for it so he was doing it out of spite plain and simple. so kaila wanted to smack him, i think her words were "oh mom, i just wanna hit him" and i explained that he wouldnt know why she was hitting him, viloence isnt the answer, abusing pets is bad...so the only thing i could think to do to make her feel better that she had to throw away her snuggie (she never wore), and wash the clothes that were on it again...is i told her to put him in time out...the bathroom....where his litter box is and shut the door and leave him in there...this is his room basically he sleeps there at night and goes there when we leave the house because he will randomly shit if we leave him out. he's a good cat...he's great with the kids, plays with todd...but when he gets mad at you he poops...so he is sulking around today
the puzzle is finished now and todd and kaila are gluing it together...the kids bathroom and mr. pootie's bedroom is done in a tropical fish theme. i bought kaila a box with 10 tropical fish puzzles in it all different sizes, frames for them, and puzzle glue. she has been putting puzzles together now for awahile and they're all up on the walls in their bathroom. she loves doing it and im proud of her for doing them. i used to do puzzles all the time when i was young like her. its amazing the similarities we have, we both love to read, do puzzles, listen to music and sing really loud....
so now onto getting lunch ready...putting liz down and going about our saturday afternoon...this is the one day that everyone i love is here, together, with nothing to do but be together. i hope when the kids get older they look back on these weekends and have found memories of their childhood...i cant wait to be THAT grandma that has sunday dinners at my house, holidays, everything family...i want my kids to tell their kids what GREAT parents they had..i want to see how many traditions they take with them to their families and what they carry on from their childhood with their kids...i cant wait!!
