| Random sighting on the way to WalHell the other morning to get a certain little boy his birthday present. |
So Daniel turned 6 years old the other day. It's hard to believe that it's been 6 years already, but it has.
 |
| Yes, he still sucks his thumb. We're working on it. |
 |
| Birthday donuts. |
 |
| Irresistible. |
 |
| All he wanted was that blasted blue soccer ball. |
 |
| Recovering from birthday spankings from The (Very Scruffy) Dude. |
 |
| Delayed cake and ice cream when I could finally get all five of them in the house at the same time. |
 |
| Killing time at a park in between girls' basketball games. |
 |
| Love seeing them actually getting along and not beating the hell out of each other. |
 |
| I have no words. |
 |
| The park was covered in honeysuckle. Such a heavenly scent that took me right back to my childhood. |
 |
| Killing time at another park this morning. |

| It's never going to go away. On my blog, I can see what people type into search engines to get here. Over the past month, these are the most popular searches. |
And just because The Dude is so awesome, I have to say this....
He hasn't been working lately, so I've been picking up some more hours. But in order for me to work, someone has to watch the kids. By default, it's him. Without him, I wouldn't be able to do this, and I am so incredibly grateful. He has leads on a couple of jobs, so we're just waiting to hear back at this point - and then once he starts working, I won't have to put in as many hours.
So the other day, he had the boys and my phone. So he took them out to eat at our favorite Mexican restaurant and caught this picture of them enjoying their chips and salsa.
And then today, while I was at work and he was keeping an eye on 4 of the kids instead of just 2, he managed to surprise me and put an end to my dish jenga days - and he fixed my broken dishwasher. I thoroughly enjoyed loading my toxic cancer-causing ugly plastic dishes into the energy-hogging inefficient water-wasting cancer-causing-dish-detergent-using dishwasher tonight instead of washing them in the sink. So sue me. I have better things to do than to wash dishes.

And we are officially on the prowl for a house. We looked at a couple today, and both of them had potential, although one had way more potential than the other. Of course, along with more potential comes more money, but.....we'll see. The realtor that we are working with seems really cool and she knows what we're looking for so we're actually going to meet her again tomorrow and look at a couple more that she thinks could possibly work. We really want to get moved before school starts in August, but I don't know if that's going to happen or not - but one way or another, we will get moved. Soon. All of my kids will be in one school district next year, or I will lose what little bit of my mind I have left.
So that's the past few days in a nutshell....hopefully things will calm down around here and I'll be able to keep up a little better.
