So excited!

My Picassa isn't working so I can't post fun pictures. We had the creepiest bug yesterday, and it was certainly worth a pic. Bummer. My little Jonah is such a fun - and funny - kid. Yesterday when Anna made him mad, he called her a "mean man eating mammal." I think that was an upgrade from the previous day of a "meat eating Tyrannasaurus Rex." And, then. I have to give hugs to anyone who has a 2yo. Well, maybe to anyone who has an Eli. He's been my challenge since he started walking right at 9 months. Last night I put him to bed and then I took a shower. When I was done, I opened the door and found him laying on the floor outside the bathroom eating pizza. How many rules do YOU think he was breaking????? At least he hadn't sneaked out of the house again or spilled all the laundry soap again or crawled into Sarah's crib while she was sleeping again or taken his feast underneath our bed again. At least it was something new. Little Sarah is climbing everything right now. She loves to climb on top the dining table (at least she doesn't try to swing from the chandelier like someone else used to do) and on top the toilet. Sadly, she still likes to play in the toilet. Anna went to a birthday party yesterday! 13 1st grade girls walked from the school to the park for the party. It was the first time Anna had been in a public school during school hours, so that was fun for her. She said when she met the other girls, they all stared at her. Anna thought it was strange that they stared, but it didn't bother her at all. Why am I excited? I am going to my first real-life, ALL day Catholic homeschool conference tomorrow. My beautiful sister-in-law Nancy is watching the kids for me. I told her that it has been years since I was away from the kids for so long. She might think I was exaggerating, but I wasn't. It has been since I was pregnant with Eli which is almost three years now. THREE YEARS. And that includes 27+ months of breast feeding.
