cure for a bad day

uffda. what a day. there are no words for it. and the kind of crap it brought does not even deserve to be mentioned. so, instead i'll just think about funny things and yummy things and happy things like simone at three years old and cinnamon rolls and baby clothes!! i guess its been awhile since i have given any sort of kid update, so let's see...

cana...this week she made her first ever basket in a basketball game! and it was the game that i MISSED! even though her team lost, it was the highlight of her season.

judah...told me this evening that the government might try to do away with christmas. he said he thinks we should all just disobey because he will be very sad if the government takes over and his kids don't get to have fun.

eden...has written some very fabulous stories this week. i've turned her loose with a given "theme" and just had her write for content. today she wrote about the butterfly queen. we relish for a day in the goodness of content and then the next day we bring on the corrections.

simone...told me this week that "strangers" took the sheets off her bed and her pillow out of its case. she is also packing bags daily to go on sleepovers with whomever might have her.

nadia...picked a movie out of the cabinet, turned around, waved it in the air, and sliced open eden's face with it. eden wailed and was covered in blood! it broke her heart to see that she hurt her sister. what a tender soul little tik has.

babe in the belly...kicking and squirming and getting nice and fat.
