Crash and Burn...or Burn then Crash

OK....why don't I just learn that when D4 is outside playing all day that when she gets home - and it's evening, that she will just crash on the couch...and not get up till morning??!! I have to learn to give her a bath RIGHT AWAY!! After playing out all day...she usually needs one! That said, the bath will either wake her up so she can eat dinner or.......at least make her clean so that when she DOES crash on the couch she's clean for bed!!! At least they all had fun today...played on the neighbor's trampoline and dress-up. I had to fight with her -- holding her on the potty for 2-3 minutes so that she would go in the potty and not her bed! Arrgghhhh!!!!

They have had a fun year with all of the kids in the neighborhood, but now since we'll be moving in a few weeks...it will be sad for them. I know how it feels though to have to move all of the time--I was a Navy brat and we moved A LOT, so at least I can relate to how they are feeling! They know that they will be meeting new friends, but the older they get -- the harder it is. Luckily, I hope this is the last time we move...at least until they are in college!!

Well...in the craft realm -- here is a little bird's nest I found on the ground on the way to pick the girls up from shcool...I think I'll use it in a wreath! D2 suggested that I put blue malted milk balls in there for eggs---yea, right! They would be gone in a flash...and I be replacing them a few times a day!!
