Panty Raider

I enjoy a good laugh... even at my own expense. This story is too funny not to share even if it means that the whole world knows about yesterday!

As you can imagine, I do a ton of laundry. Due to the fact that the babies need to be watched ALL the time (more on that during my next post!), I tend to fold laundry in the family room. It's a group event. I fold a few things. The babies unfold a few things. I fold some more things and put them up higher, out of reach. Etc. Yesterday was no different except Elise was helping and trying on our clothes as she was going along. A few minutes later, it was time to get ready for school so we abandoned the project to change diapers, put on socks and shoes and what felt like a zillion jackets. Just a regular dance of leaving the house.

After school, Elise put her shoes away and threw her jacket on the ground like any other day (Boy, I need some system for coats with little kids hooks!). Then she announced that she forgot to take off my underwear before school. With that, she hiked up her red sweater dress to reveal a pair of my old black cotton underwear. She had worn them all afternoon at school! Elise claims that she didn't show anyone but I can imagine what kind of show she had given her teacher during circle time! Nevermind the fact that she said they kept falling down during gym time! Oh boy!!!

Demi Turns 10!

Demi turned 10 this past weekend. I know it's a bit cheesy to celebrate your dog's birthday but Demi deserves some celebration! She and Gladys got to have some doggie ice cream while we munched on cupcakes. We love our sweet Demi. I don't know many dogs who are as patient and loving as she is. Happy Birthday old girl.

Icebergs and Flooding

We woke up the other day to find that our frozen river had turned into an ice jam and flooding. How did we sleep through such an event? It seems that all the ice breaking up and bumping into each other would have been noisy. And now we have water up to the boathouse which until recently was a good 50 feet from the river. Crazy!

Luckily our house is up a huge hill from all this water so we will be safe when the river waters warm and the ice melts. Unfortunately, we don't know what the fate of the boathouse will be. I have a feeling that Demi and Gladys will be excited with all the river wood debris. 'So many sticks, so little time'. And now Elise can earn some more money helping us clean things up. Maybe a treasure chest or diamond necklace is under all that ice. Who knows?!
