Candyland

So it's a daddy weekend, Becky has a girls trip and I'm in baby jail(as a co-worker of mine would say).  Our weekend isn't going as planned with all the rain, but we are going to make the best of it.  Tess woke up early today, the girls were excited to be out of bed, and Sully woke up with a runny, yucky diaper.  There's been many more since, ughh!  By 10:00 I've changed six dirty diapers between Sully and Tess, washed my hands a dozen times, and gotten the febreze air freshener out only once because the stench consumed the entire room.  

Avery, Sully and I just got done playing Candyland.  Avery won, as she always does.  Sully ended the game by slamming his tippie on the board and splattering grape juice all over.  He takes losing like his mother.  Ouch, that has to hurt Becky!  She's known to end card games by screaming out "You cheated," slamming the door, and leaving me at her parents house.  Lauren refuses to play Candyland because Avery always wins.  Here is how the game went today: I got the rainbow trail, followed by getting the lollypop, the game was over as far as I was concerned.  As she always does, Avery gets the ice cream cone followed by double colors, and it ends with me and Avery both on the red spot one spot short of winning.  I'm up, and all I have to do is draw a color, any color!  But no, I get the peanut and she ends up winning.  I always hope one of them wins, and usually make sure they do win, but this was unbelievable how she came back.

We are off to have fun that you just can't have with mom around.  We are going to make a fort out of the couch cushions and watch a movie.  That never happens with mom, she's chief no fun.  Sorry you all have to deal with my posts over the weekend!  Got to keep this diary going.  Note to the girls - someday when you are older watch the video of you dancing to Paula Abdul's Forever Your Girl and Cindy Lauper's Girls Just Want to Have Fun.  Hilarious.
