Finally some peace and quiet!

Well there is something to be said for Elton working nights. The kids actually go to sleep and I'm able to actually get something accomplished! Chris is spending the night away and both Brianna and Shawn were asleep by 8:30! 4 hours later, I have played on the computer, cleaned the whole house (well downstairs...) including supercleaning B's room- its all organized and dejunked- threw away 2 Wal-mart bags of broken toys, and crappy old McDonalds toys. (We'll see how long it lasts) showered, and painted my toenails! Yeah- a good night. It started off rocky- poor Shawn turned into monster baby at 4 (second night in a row) None of my other babies have suffered with colic like he does. It can be hours of incessant screaming. I overdosed him with Mylicon drops and gave him another bath. He LOVES his bath, and it seems to help with his tummy ache. Then he nursed and passed out. It's 12:30 now and I'm just killing time waiting for my toenails to dry- he'll probably wake up and want to nurse as soon as I go to sleep...

Brianna is sooooo loving Play Camp! I don't know which one of us will be sorrier to see it end. Today was Bike Day, Chris was our hero and carried her Dora bike down to the Rec with a detour by Nana and Grandpa's to put some air in her tires. She is really getting a kick out of packing her lunch everyday. She is so ready for preschool. Decided today that we need to work on coloring inside the lines. She prefers to "scribble scrabble". We'll just consider it Modern Art! Katherine used to critique her own artwork "No mommy- it's not pretty- its scribble scrabble!" and proceed to tear it up! She was so cute :0) She called tonight and it having a great time in Myrtle Beach- I sure miss my Katie-Bug!
