That Child

Last night Taz went to be an hour late because Dad was away and she was being cute. She was pretty tired when she climbed into bed and went down with out a fuss. Her last words to me were "Night-Night mom, sleep tight." I closed her door (we leave a little light on for her) and watched TV for a couple of hours. It was after 11pm when I went in to check on her and turn out her light.

I wished now I had taken a photo of what I found, but didn't want to excite her, so you'll just have to picture it: The punkin was lying with her feet on her pillow, another pillow under her head in the middle of her bed. She had taken her pillowcase off her pillow and had pulled it over her legs like a sleeping bag. Her duvet was on the floor and half-way out of the duvet cover (she had obviously found it too hard to try and pull the whole duvet out and given up). She was lying with her eyes closed, but she had her hand twitching over them. I leaned over her and nuzzled her neck and she convulsed in a fit of giggles. I kissed her again, turned her around so she was lying on the pillow at the head of her bed and turned out her light. She was asleep in less than two minutes.

Its almost 9:30am and she's still asleep. Funny kid.

Our Sweet Family

Church Casual

This is how we roll to church. Did I mention that I made her little dress out of an old shirt of mine?

Taking the Train

Taz loves riding the train. Mack had some leave a week ago, so we decided to take the train into town and get the girls out of the house. It really was alot of fun, and both girls were completely knackered by the time we made it back to the car park. Neither of them fell asleep on the train, but both passed out as soon as we were in the car.

My oldest child gravitates to water like a homing pigeon. She loves it that much. So we decided it would be fun to take her to the musical fountain at the Gateway where the kids put on their cozzies (swimsuits) and run in and out of the water. She refused point blank to play in the fountain, but took great delight in this random puddle. Go figure.

Go Slow

We 're on a go slow at our house at the moment due to the weather playing havoc with my back. There has been a low pressure system that has just been hanging over the Vegas area for a few days now, which has put me in the most foul mood, cause I've been in so much pain. I'm really ready for this trial to be over. So, I've decided to speak to a surgeon to see if they can do the surgery. I'm scared out of my mind in case something goes wrong. But, we'll see. I can't live like this anymore either.
