baby its cold outside

the summer flower reminds me of warmth

oh so warm

perfect for necessary finger free operations

super comfy mittens

here i am sitting at the computer, clutching a steamy cup of coffee. by coffee i mean half coffee and half flavored cream. mary is stirring it for me, she is being oh so very careful, warning me that it is hot when i go for a sip. these are a few things i need to get through my day. since the hubby doesnt like the heat past 65 degrees. is he green? nope just cheap.

tis the season

ive never been a big fan of winter. not michigan winter. as i type its snowing, 2-4 inches they estimate. leah is praying for 2 feet so there will be a snow day tomorrow. fine by me. i really despise bundling up the tribe to pick her up from school. it really takes f o r e v e r. mary is constantly unzipping her jacket. its her new trick. as soon as jax gets in his car seat he screams bloody murder. he is fine once i put on his hat. he proceeds taking it off, again and again, laughing. fun game. charleigh is getting super independent. she demands putting her jacket on herself. that normally would be fine if she didnt put it on upside down 75% of the time. she has to take it off herself and reapply 2 more times until she gets it right. any of my help would be very unhelpful. were ready to get in the car. the front door is open, car seat in arm, keys in hand. 3 little coats, 3 little hats, 5 mittens (whatever i dont have time). until charleigh has to go potty. great. close door, put down jax, instruct mary to leave her zipper up, take charleigh potty. after we emerge from the bathroom you can only imagine where marys zipper goes, her other mitten goes, and, oh yeah jaxs hat.

bad day you ask? nope. just a day in the life of...
