Plans-shmans!

Isn't that how it always goes?! All this excitement over a blue tea party and when Kaitlyn woke up it had to be white. So now for the rest of the week my plan is to fly by the seat of my pants and take it moment by moment.

Today went exceptionally well, the kids are feeling better so we got some shopping done, hung out for a very long while at my parents and then after super Phil and Em came home with us.
Anyway, I contemplated not writing a post tonight, I am soooooo beat, but then I thought of Dave. This is his only connection to us while he is gone so I must do it!
Now since my mom says I type too much...here is a break in the form of pictures.


Breakfast.


Daddy's girls....once again a morning bad hair and no make-up shot---well there are smudges of yesterdays mascara under my eyes, sorry to be so scary!

White tea party. I couldn't find the white cups and after much persuasion she accepted a blue one.


Two new additions to the red shoe family(the ones on the rt are old ones)
I love shoes and really love red ones. The ones on the bottom are for Kaitlyn. And can you believe it, both pairs together for under $7! Value Village rocks!

Phil got some fancy metal work today.


Tea party hats, part of our purchase today. Poor Ethan is wearing Kaitlyn's shirt and hat, I must never show him this pic!

"Orange tea party please mom."


I should have made orange pekoe tea, opps, we had green as usual.

A little painting before bed.
All are now tucked in and sleeping soundly.
The blue tea party has been replanned (oops I just planned again) for the morning as part of a birthday breakfast for Emily. She is going to be 9!
I must remember to have blue berry tea, yumm.

I can't believe you have color specific tea parties! You've got more energy than I do! Then again, everything in my house is pink/red and blue because my youngest won't use anything not blue or spiderman...

I know how hard it is to be without the Man... The first time I had to be without Mr. B was during my first pregnancy. I was so startled the first morning by the sound of the alarm clock that I pulled a muscle in my neck and had to get a shot of cortisone... I was out of commission for two days. I spent the whole week he was gone sleeping on the futon in the living room because I was afraid to go to the other end of the house at night alone.
